## Install
```bash
pip install aider-skills
```
## Quickstart
```bash
# Inside an aider session:
/run aider-skills to-prompt ./my-skills
# Or at startup:
aider --read $(aider-skills tmpfile ./my-skills)
```
The model receives structured metadata about available skills and reads
individual `SKILL.md` files on demand — exactly as the
[agentskills.io spec](https://agentskills.io/integrate-skills) describes
for filesystem-based agents.
## Why
Aider has no plugin or hook system. `aider-skills` uses aider's own
`/run` command and `--read` flag as integration points, requiring no
fork and no changes to aider's internals.
## Documentation
See [docs/aider-integration.md](docs/aider-integration.md) for full usage,
all three integration patterns, and skill authoring guidance.
## Commands
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| `to-prompt DIR...` | Print `` XML — use with `/run` |
| `to-conventions DIR...` | Print markdown block — use with `CONVENTIONS.md` |
| `tmpfile DIR...` | Write to temp file, print path — use with `--read` |
| `list DIR...` | Human-readable list of discovered skills |
| `validate DIR` | Validate a single skill directory |
