Choose the question you are trying to answer. Each linked page states what it owns; exhaustive command and support facts come from generated reference rather than duplicated prose.

I am new to Skillset

• Why Skillset explains the problem, the source-first model, and when the compiler is a good fit.
• Install Skillset compares the native global, Homebrew, GitHub asset, Bun, CI, local dependency, and contributor routes.
• Start with Skillset routes from installation into a first build, adoption, daily work, and deliberate shipping workflows.
• Build versus activation explains what Skillset writes and what remains a separate user or provider decision.

I need to look something up

• Generated reference routes to contract-owned CLI commands, feature support, schemas, and examples.
• Configuration explains workspace settings, source frontmatter, target overrides, and tools policy.
• Source reference documents the canonical workspace layout, rules, and preprocessing.
• CLI reference lists every public command and its generated route pages.
• Feature reference defines exact authoring, output, error, example, and caveat contracts by feature or workflow.
• Feature support matrix shows registry-owned support across canonical provider targets.
• Glossary defines the source, build, destination, provider, and activation vocabulary.

Something failed

• Troubleshooting starts from source, drift, import, recovery, watch, CI, and activation symptoms.

I need to ship or distribute work

• Continuous integration adds branch-aware readiness checks and bounds automatic generated-output repair.
• Publishing separates workspace releases, downstream distribution planning, and npm package publication.
• Marketplaces verifies curated plugin entries and writes supported provider catalog indexes deliberately.
• Generated-state rebuild gives the owner-reviewed, recoverable path from pre-v4 locks to current projection roles.

I am contributing

• Contributing covers setup, checks, source ownership, Changesets, and review expectations.
• Development documentation routes maintainers to documentation, schema, package, feature-system, and evidence guidance.
• Project documentation routes to the design tenets and active or archived plans.
• Documentation system defines authored and generated ownership, validation, migrations, and review.
• Security policy gives the private vulnerability-reporting path.

Detailed guides

These pages cover common author and maintainer workflows:

• Build Your First Skill walks through the current first-author scaffold and build.
• Import Existing Work separates whole-repository adoption from one explicit source import.
• Development Loop covers preview, write, watch, reconciliation, and recovery.
• Interactive CLI defines prompt eligibility and controlled-terminal behavior.
• Package ownership explains the compiler package boundaries used by maintainers.

Generated output does not grant runtime authority. Skillset renders files. It does not install, trust, activate, symlink, or mutate user-level provider configuration. See Build Versus Activation.
