orth skills init my-skill --bare  # SKILL.md only, no subdirectories

# Create a skill from a GitHub repo
orth skills create https://github.com/owner/repo
orth skills create owner/repo --path skills/my-skill --ref main

# Submit a local skill to the platform
orth skills submit ./my-skill
orth skills submit --name "My Skill" --tags "react,testing"

# Request verification (required before discoverability)
orth skills request-verification owner/my-skill

# Request a skill to be added (by description or GitHub URL)
orth skills request "A skill for React testing patterns"
orth skills request https://github.com/owner/cool-skill

Verification Workflow

1. Submit your skill → it's on the platform but not publicly visible
2. Request verification → our team reviews it
3. Once verified → toggle discoverability on/off from your dashboard
