garden skill

Manage the garden agent skill (teaches AI agents to use garden)

Terminal window
garden skill

Install or remove garden’s “use garden, not git” guide for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) plus a canonical copy. The guide is embedded in the CLI, so it tracks the CLI version and is refreshed on ‘garden update’. It also installs automatically during ‘garden setup’ and is added to a repo’s global agent configuration (opt out with GARDEN_NO_SKILL). Use ‘garden skill install –repo .’ to also add it to a repo’s AGENTS.md.

Install the skill into detected agents (and optionally a repo)

Terminal window
garden skill install
Flag Type Default Description
--repo string Also write the skill to AGENTS.md at this repo path

Check where the garden agent skill is installed

Terminal window
garden skill status
Flag Type Default Description
--json bool Output status as JSON

Remove the garden skill from agent configs

Terminal window
garden skill uninstall
