Scan SKILL.md frontmatter across your repository to discover available skills. This identifies every valid Skill Unit by extracting its name, description, and file location for precise installation.

What is frontmatter-driven skill discovery and how does it work?

Frontmatter-driven skill discovery parses SKILL.md files to generate structured metadata entries. It documents each unit's dependencies and resources to enable automation and tooling in CI/CD pipelines.

Install individual skills by specifying their file path using the skills CLI. This fetches only the relevant skill unit identified during repository analysis, ensuring safe installation and reducing dependency bloat.
