Add `glean generate-skills` command that deterministically generates SKILL.md files (following the agentskills.io spec) from the CLI's own schema registry. This ensures skills stay in sync with commands — when a flag or subcommand changes, re-running the generator updates the corresponding skill. What's included: - `internal/skills/generator.go` — template-based renderer that reads from the schema registry and produces per-command SKILL.md files - `cmd/generate_skills.go` — hidden `generate-skills` command - 17 generated skills + 1 shared skill covering all namespace commands - `.github/workflows/generate-skills.yml` — CI workflow that regenerates skills on push to main when cmd/ or schema code changes - Updated README with `npx skills add` installation instructions Replaces the previous hand-written flat skill files with structured, folder-based skills installable via: npx skills add https://github.com/gleanwork/glean-cli Inspired by Google Workspace CLI's generate-skills approach.

git diff --quiet only sees modifications to tracked files. New skills (from new commands) would be untracked and silently ignored. Add git status --porcelain check to catch both cases. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
glean generate-skillscommand that deterministically generates Agent Skills from the CLI's schema registry.github/workflows/generate-skills.yml) that auto-regenerates skills on push to main when command or schema code changesnpx skills addinstallation instructionsHow it works
The generator reads from the same schema registry that powers
glean schema, ensuring skills are always in sync with the CLI's actual flags, subcommands, and examples. When someone adds a new command or changes a flag, re-runningglean generate-skillsupdates the corresponding SKILL.md.Inspired by Google Workspace CLI's approach.
