🧩 Skill

In a Nutshell

Extract ACORN's bundled agent instructions with acorn skill.

acorn skill

The command writes the bundled SKILL.md into ACORN’s platform cache directory, prints its path, and attempts to copy agent instructions to the clipboard. A clipboard warning does not remove the extracted file; use the printed path when clipboard access is unavailable, such as in a headless session.

What The Skill Enables

The extracted skill gives compatible AI agents a current, task-oriented guide to ACORN’s schemas, commands, dry-run conventions, artifact checks, and offline behavior. It directs agents to verify syntax against the installed CLI or generated command help instead of inventing fields and flags.

acorn skill does not launch an agent, invoke a model, or grant access to files and services. It produces instructions that a user can load into a compatible agent under that agent’s existing permissions.
