Problem Coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI) increasingly drive CLIs directly. Today an agent's only way to learn kit is --help output, which is flag-oriented and says nothing about workflows: Kitfile authoring, pack/push/pull/unpack, tagging. Users who want agents working with ModelKits hand-write AGENTS.md sections or paste docs into context, and those drift from the installed kit version. Other agent-facing CLIs have converged on shipping this knowledge as an installable skill following the Agent Skills spec: hunk ships skills/hunk-review/SKILL.md in-repo and provides a hunk skill command to locate/load it beads has bd setup <agent> to install a skill and agent instructions, plus bd prime to print workflow context on demand Proposal Add a kit skill command that installs a SKILL.md (covering Kitfile authoring, the pack/push/pull/unpack workflow, tagging, and common errors) into the appropriate agent directory (.claude/skills/, the shared .agents/skills/,
