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.
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--ref <name> | Print one reference instead: deploys, sandboxes or sdk. With --json it returns { name, ref, path, content } |
--full | Append 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.
