`temper skill`

Manage agent skill (install for Claude Code or opencode)

Manage agent skill (install for Claude Code or opencode)

Usage: temper skill [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>

Commands:
  generate  Generate skill content (preview to stdout)
  install   Install skill directory and command wrapper
  check     Check skill status
  emit      Emit the MCP (`skills/`) projection into a directory
  help      Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

Options:
      --vault <VAULT>      Path to vault (overrides TEMPER_VAULT and auto-detection)
      --format <FORMAT>    Output format: json | toon (default: toon on a TTY, json otherwise). Precedence: --format → TEMPER_FORMAT → cli.format config → TTY default
      --embed-threads <N>  ONNX intra-op threads for embedding. `0` = let ONNX Runtime decide. Default: this machine's performance-core count (NOT its total core count — efficiency cores measurably slow the batch down). Precedence: --embed-threads → TEMPER_ONNX_INTRA_THREADS → detected → 1
      --color <COLOR>      Color output: auto | always | never (default: auto). Precedence: --color → TEMPER_COLOR → cli.color config → NO_COLOR → auto
  -h, --help               Print help

`temper skill generate`

Generate skill content (preview to stdout)

Usage: temper skill generate [OPTIONS]

Options:
      --include-admin      Preview the admin-inclusive tree (`skill install --include-admin`'s output) rather than the default one
      --vault <VAULT>      Path to vault (overrides TEMPER_VAULT and auto-detection)
      --format <FORMAT>    Output format: json | toon (default: toon on a TTY, json otherwise). Precedence: --format → TEMPER_FORMAT → cli.format config → TTY default
      --embed-threads <N>  ONNX intra-op threads for embedding. `0` = let ONNX Runtime decide. Default: this machine's performance-core count (NOT its total core count — efficiency cores measurably slow the batch down). Precedence: --embed-threads → TEMPER_ONNX_INTRA_THREADS → detected → 1
      --color <COLOR>      Color output: auto | always | never (default: auto). Precedence: --color → TEMPER_COLOR → cli.color config → NO_COLOR → auto
  -h, --help               Print help

`temper skill install`

Install skill directory and command wrapper

Usage: temper skill install [OPTIONS]

Options:
      --target <TARGET>
          Which agent to install for. Determines the default skill directory and command wrapper location: `agents` writes the vendor-neutral `~/.agents/skills/temper/` (no command wrapper); `claude` writes to `~/.claude/skills/temper/` + `~/.claude/commands/temper.md`; `opencode` writes to `~/.config/opencode/skills/temper/` + `~/.config/opencode/command/temper.md`. Defaults to `agents`

          Possible values:
          - agents:   Vendor-neutral `~/.agents` — skill to `~/.agents/skills/temper/`, no command wrapper
          - claude:   Claude Code — skill to `~/.claude/skills/temper/`, wrapper to `~/.claude/commands/temper.md`
          - opencode: opencode — skill to `~/.config/opencode/skills/temper/`, wrapper to `~/.config/opencode/command/temper.md`
          
          [default: agents]

      --vault <VAULT>
          Path to vault (overrides TEMPER_VAULT and auto-detection)

      --format <FORMAT>
          Output format: json | toon (default: toon on a TTY, json otherwise). Precedence: --format → TEMPER_FORMAT → cli.format config → TTY default

      --path <PATH>
          Override the skill install directory (overrides the target's default)

      --embed-threads <N>
          ONNX intra-op threads for embedding. `0` = let ONNX Runtime decide. Default: this machine's performance-core count (NOT its total core count — efficiency cores measurably slow the batch down). Precedence: --embed-threads → TEMPER_ONNX_INTRA_THREADS → detected → 1

      --include-admin
          Also install the admin skill set (`admin.md` — the `temper admin` command tree: system settings, principals, machine clients, connections, subscriptions). A default install carries none of it; this flag is its only disclosure. A later default install removes admin files the installer itself shipped (files you have edited are left alone)

      --color <COLOR>
          Color output: auto | always | never (default: auto). Precedence: --color → TEMPER_COLOR → cli.color config → NO_COLOR → auto

  -h, --help
          Print help (see a summary with '-h')

`temper skill check`

Check skill status

Usage: temper skill check [OPTIONS]

Options:
      --target <TARGET>
          Which agent to check for. Determines the expected command-wrapper location. Defaults to `agents`

          Possible values:
          - agents:   Vendor-neutral `~/.agents` — skill to `~/.agents/skills/temper/`, no command wrapper
          - claude:   Claude Code — skill to `~/.claude/skills/temper/`, wrapper to `~/.claude/commands/temper.md`
          - opencode: opencode — skill to `~/.config/opencode/skills/temper/`, wrapper to `~/.config/opencode/command/temper.md`
          
          [default: agents]

      --vault <VAULT>
          Path to vault (overrides TEMPER_VAULT and auto-detection)

      --format <FORMAT>
          Output format: json | toon (default: toon on a TTY, json otherwise). Precedence: --format → TEMPER_FORMAT → cli.format config → TTY default

      --embed-threads <N>
          ONNX intra-op threads for embedding. `0` = let ONNX Runtime decide. Default: this machine's performance-core count (NOT its total core count — efficiency cores measurably slow the batch down). Precedence: --embed-threads → TEMPER_ONNX_INTRA_THREADS → detected → 1

      --color <COLOR>
          Color output: auto | always | never (default: auto). Precedence: --color → TEMPER_COLOR → cli.color config → NO_COLOR → auto

  -h, --help
          Print help (see a summary with '-h')

`temper skill emit`

Emit the MCP (`skills/`) projection into a directory.

Config-free by construction — unlike `install`, this reads no config and bakes in no per-user state, which is what makes the emitted tree committable and pinnable by a drift gate. Writes only the generated files; hand-written siblings in the directory are untouched.

Usage: temper skill emit [OPTIONS] --path <PATH>

Options:
      --path <PATH>
          Directory to write the tree into (e.g. `skills/temper-knowledge-base`)

      --vault <VAULT>
          Path to vault (overrides TEMPER_VAULT and auto-detection)

      --format <FORMAT>
          Output format: json | toon (default: toon on a TTY, json otherwise). Precedence: --format → TEMPER_FORMAT → cli.format config → TTY default

      --embed-threads <N>
          ONNX intra-op threads for embedding. `0` = let ONNX Runtime decide. Default: this machine's performance-core count (NOT its total core count — efficiency cores measurably slow the batch down). Precedence: --embed-threads → TEMPER_ONNX_INTRA_THREADS → detected → 1

      --color <COLOR>
          Color output: auto | always | never (default: auto). Precedence: --color → TEMPER_COLOR → cli.color config → NO_COLOR → auto

  -h, --help
