What this skill does
SWE CLI Skills man pages for machines — Your agent knows the commands. We teach it the workflows. This skill provides expert-level CLI knowledge for the tools software engineers use daily. Each guide encodes senior engineer judgment — not reference docs, but operational workflows, safety guardrails, flag gotchas, error recovery, and composition patterns. When to Use This Skill Load a specific CLI guide when: You need to run complex CLI operations (multi-step workflows, piped commands) You're unsure about flag ordering, safety checks, or non-interactive alternatives You encounter a CLI error and need the actual fix (not generic advice) You need to compose multiple CLIs together (e.g., aws → jq → xargs) Available CLI Guides Guides are organized by category.
