kongctl Skills

This directory contains human-maintained skills for coding agents that work with kongctl.

Included Skills

• kongctl-declarative
  • Generate declarative config and manage plan/apply/sync/delete/adopt flows.
• kongctl-extension-builder
  • Create, validate, and test local kongctl CLI extensions.

Install in Agent Tooling

Use kongctl install skills from the root of the repository where your agent will work:

kongctl install skills

To preview the files and symlinks before writing them, run:

kongctl install skills --dry-run

By default, the installer writes skill files to .kongctl/skills/ and creates symlinks for supported agent tooling:

• .agents/skills/kongctl-declarative
• .agents/skills/kongctl-extension-builder
• .claude/skills/kongctl-declarative
• .claude/skills/kongctl-extension-builder

Use --path to choose a different directory for installed skill files:

kongctl install skills --path .tools/kongctl/skills

Keep the skill folder names unchanged so each SKILL.md is discoverable.

Manual Install

If the installer is unavailable, copy or symlink each skill directory into your tool's skills directory.
