Claude Code skill

The CLI ships with a Claude Code skill so any compatible agent runtime can discover pipe2 as a tool. Three install paths — pick whichever matches your setup:

1. From the binary itself (offline)

The skill is embedded inside the pipe2 binary via go:embed, so this works with no network and always matches the CLI you just ran:

pipe2 skill install
# writes ~/.claude/skills/pipe2-cli/SKILL.md

To install to a custom directory:

pipe2 skill install --dest /path/to/agent/skills/pipe2-cli

Re-running is idempotent — the file is overwritten each time, so after upgrading pipe2 just re-run it.

2. Via npx skills add (no binary required)

vercel-labs/skills reads SKILL.md files directly from any public GitHub repo and installs them into .claude/skills/ / .agents/skills/:

npx skills add pipe2-ai/pipe2-cli --skill pipe2-cli

Use this inside Docker images or sandboxes where the binary isn’t available yet.

3. As a Claude Code plugin marketplace

/plugin marketplace add pipe2-ai/pipe2-cli

Installs the full plugin (skill + future MCP servers and slash commands) via the Claude Code plugin system.

All three paths write to the same conventional location (~/.claude/skills/pipe2-cli/SKILL.md or the equivalent for other agent runtimes). To preview what would be installed without writing anything:
