skill

Install the loader skill and print bundled markdown packs. skill manages the Sibyl skill stub that Claude Code, Codex, and other assistants load to learn the memory loop, and it prints version-matched markdown packs straight from the installed CLI bundle.

Called with no subcommand, skill prints the canonical loader markdown to stdout. Pass --install to write it into your assistant skill roots instead.

Notes

• The stub is intentionally stable: it points assistants at the version-matched packs rather than embedding the full contract, so a CLI upgrade refreshes guidance without re-installing.
• --force replaces existing symlinks or non-directory targets; without it, those roots are skipped.
• sibyl doctor checks that the installed stub matches the canonical markdown and flags stale copies.
