man pages for machines — Senior engineer CLI expertise for AI coding agents. 20+ CLIs across cloud, IaC, containers, databases, dev tools & platforms. Works with AdaL, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and more.
SaferSkills independently audited swe-cli-skills (Agent Skill) and scored it 100/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 0 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
man pages for machines — Your agent knows the commands. We teach it the workflows.
This skill provides expert-level CLI knowledge for the tools software engineers use daily. Each guide encodes senior engineer judgment — not reference docs, but operational workflows, safety guardrails, flag gotchas, error recovery, and composition patterns.

These are the highest-impact mistakes — check the full guide for details:
