agent-cli-skills

Companion skills for the Agent CLI Guidelines fleet. Each one teaches an agent a single CLI, installs the binary if it's missing, and then defers to the tool's own agent / schema output for the actual contract — so the skill is a thin discovery + bootstrap shim that never drifts from the binary.

Tools: rivr (Amazon) · gfly (Google Flights) · knit (Threads) · vabc (Virginia ABC) · nxstate (Cisco Nexus).

How it works

Each skill (skills/<tool>/SKILL.md) is intentionally thin:

1. Bootstrap — if the tool isn't on PATH, install it (brew / uvx / go install).
2. Defer — <tool> agent is the embedded usage contract; <tool> schema --json is the machine-readable surface. The binary is the single source of truth.

Every tool is read-only by default and conforms to the Agent CLI Guidelines (Full) — verifiable at runtime via <tool> schema | jq .conformance.

New conformant tool? Add skills/<tool>/SKILL.md (same shape) — cli-new does this automatically.
