-The flagship generator: `openkb skill new` distills a portable [agent skill](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/skills) from your wiki that Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini can install and load natively. Drop in a book's worth of papers; out comes a specialist other agents can call on. → A real generated skill, plus install / share / `eval` / rollback, is walked through in **[`examples/skills/`](examples/skills/)**.
