## Wiring into tools

This repo **is** the canonical home. Wire every skill into each harness with the
**`install.sh`** script (idempotent, per-skill symlinks) — either the one-shot
`curl -fsSL https://git.d-ma.be/mathias/skills/raw/branch/main/install.sh | bash`,
or, from a clone, `SKILLS_CHECKOUT_DIR="$PWD" bash install.sh`. (The `task
install` targets are currently broken — see issue — use `install.sh`.)

- **Claude Code (global)** — `~/.claude/skills/<name>` → `<repo>/<name>`.
- **Claude Code (per-repo)** — `<repo>/.claude/skills/<name>` when `task install`
  is run inside another git repo (excluded via `~/.config/git/ignore`).
- **Crush** — `~/.config/crush/skills/<name>`.
- **Antigravity** — `~/.gemini/antigravity/skills/<name>`.
- **Mistral Vibe** — `~/.vibe/skills/<name>.md` → `<repo>/<name>/SKILL.md`
  (flat `.md` layout).

Individual targets are also runnable: `task install:claude:global`,
`install:crush`, `install:antigravity`, `install:vibe`. `task update` pulls the
canonical checkout then re-wires.
