Global vs project install

Default is project-local (puts files in .claude/skills or .codex/skills in your repo).

Use --global to install to your home config:

builderpack skills add --theme gamedev --tool claude --global

Copy vs symlink (and where skills are stored)

By default, project installs copy real files into your repo’s .claude/skills/* and/or .codex/skills/*.

The CLI can optionally keep a canonical “store” copy:

• --store global (default for project installs): uses ~/.builderpack/store/skills
• --store project: uses <repo>/.builderpack/store/skills (you’ll want .builderpack/ in .gitignore)
• --store none: no canonical store; installs directly into .claude/.codex

Examples:

# Default (project install, copy mode, global store)
builderpack skills add --all --tool claude,codex

# Project install without writing anything outside the repo
builderpack skills add --all --tool claude,codex --mode copy --store none

# Symlink mode (advanced; requires a store)
builderpack skills add --all --tool claude,codex --mode symlink --store global
