Documentation

README

Excerpt

Build an Agent Skill Stack

Build the smallest useful stack for the user's actual outcome. Never force a domain example or a fixed lifecycle onto a different request.

1. Choose the user-facing depth

Default to plain-language mode. Assume the user does not need to understand paths, revisions, hashes, manifests, static analysis, or runtime details.

In plain-language mode, show:

what the user is trying to accomplish;
the steps in everyday language;
which capabilities are already available;
which Skills are recommended, optional, overlapping, or unsuitable;
how widely each candidate is used;
whether it passed an installation safety check and a safe trial;
what account access or external actions it may require.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
