SKILL.md
Use this skill for the tzst command-line interface. Default to execution when the user clearly wants a real archive action and the required paths or archive names are already known.
This skill is CLI-only. If the user is asking about Python code such as from tzst import ..., treat that as a general Python library or API documentation task instead of using this skill as the main guide.
When to Use
Use this skill when the user:
- mentions
.tzstor.tar.zstarchives - wants to create, extract, flatten, list, or test a
tzstarchive - needs help installing
tzstor choosing CLI flags - wants machine-readable
tzstoutput for scripting or automation - needs safe conflict handling or extraction filter guidance
Do not use this skill for generic tar, zip, or Python API questions unless tzst is actually part of the request.
