Using the sk CLI

sk is the repo-scoped Skills manager that installs, audits, and syncs Claude Skills listed in skills.lock.json. Treat it like Cargo for skills: installs live under ./skills, while the cache stays in ~/.cache/sk/repos.

When to reach for this skill

• You need to install or upgrade a skill from the canonical skills repo (https://github.com/lambdamechanic/skills).
• You want to verify the working tree is clean (sk doctor --status, sk doctor --summary).
• You are preparing to sync edits back to the upstream skills repository (sk sync-back <install>).
