city skill

Manage skill discovery, installation, and lookup.

This page remains as a command entry point. For the fuller plugin structure, see Plugin Overview, Built-in Plugins Today, and Plugin Actions.

Hierarchy note: city skill now belongs to the plugin action system. It is provided by the skill plugin, not by a service.

Usage

city skill <subcommand> [options]

Subcommands

• find <query>
• install <spec>
• list
• lookup <name>

install key options

• -g, --global: global install (default true)
• -y, --yes: skip confirmation (default true)
• --agent <agent>: default claude-code

Examples

city skill list
city skill lookup playwright

# install only when missing from `list`
city skill find playwright
city skill install owner/repo@playwright
city skill lookup playwright

Recommended flow

list -> lookup (if missing, then find -> install -> lookup)

Agent behavior

• In the running agent, lookup tool output returns status only.
• Skill content is injected through the next user message wrapped in <skill>...</skill>.
• Injected skill content is also persisted into context messages so you can verify it in the timeline.
