Subcommands

lizard skills list

List the available embedded skills with their descriptions and references.

lizard skills get core

Read the core guide: the platform overview for agents, versioned with the CLI. It covers sandboxes, deploys, databases, secrets, domains, logs and exit codes. Details live in three references: deploys, sandboxes and sdk.

With --json it returns { name, path, frontmatter, content, references }. content is the core guide, and references lists each reference’s name, path and the command that prints it.

FlagDescription
--ref <name>Print one reference instead: deploys, sandboxes or sdk. With --json it returns { name, ref, path, content }
--fullAppend every reference after the core guide

lizard skills path [name]

Print where a skill comes from. Skills are built into the CLI, so lizard skills path prints embedded://skills and lizard skills path core prints embedded://skills/core/SKILL.md, unless LIZARD_SKILLS_DIR points the CLI at a directory on disk. --ref <name> prints the path of one reference.

Examples

Load the core guide as an agent

lizard skills get core --json

Load one reference

lizard skills get core --ref deploys --json
