Subcommands

lizard skills list

List the available embedded skills.

lizard skills get core

Read the core guide — the authoritative usage guide for the platform, versioned with the CLI. With --json it returns { name, path, frontmatter, content }, where content is the complete guide (build pipeline, env precedence, addons, discovery, exit codes).

lizard skills path [name]

Print where a skill comes from. Skills are built into the CLI, so this prints embedded://skills unless LIZARD_SKILLS_DIR points the CLI at a directory on disk.

Examples
