wash - wasmCloud Shell

This skill provides expertise in using the wasmCloud Shell (wash) CLI tool for developing and managing WebAssembly components and wasmCloud applications.

Prerequisites

• wash version 2.0.0 or later (including release candidates like 2.0.0-rc.X)
• Verify version with: wash --version

Important Notes

Do not use cargo component commands (like cargo component build) when working with wasmCloud projects. Always use wash commands instead:

• Use wash build or wash dev for building components
• For plugins, build with wash build --skip-fetch (since wasmcloud:wash interface isn't published)
