skills

Skills are reusable Claude/Codex/Gemini instructions installed from @theholocron/skills into .agents/skills/ with agent-specific symlinks. They’re gitignored — holocron setup re-installs them on every fresh checkout.

Subcommands

skills install

holocron skills install [--dry-run]

Copies skills from @theholocron/skills into .agents/skills/<name>/ and creates relative symlinks at the agent path (e.g. .claude/skills/<name> → ../../.agents/skills/<name>).

The set of skills to install comes from skills[] in holocron.config.ts. Skills not in the list are left in place.
