@skill-pack/cli

The CLI for skill-pack — scaffold a project + a curated set of agent skills in one command, so the agent can spend its tokens on logic instead of setup.

# One-shot via npx (no global install needed):
npx -y @skill-pack/cli scaffold react remotion

# Or install globally:
npm i -g @skill-pack/cli
skillpack scaffold react remotion
