Core Commands¶
init¶
Initialize a collection or scaffold project deployment roots.
Syntax:
Options:
-n, --name TEXT- Collection name (default: 'default')--project-path PATH- Optional project path to scaffold deployment roots--profile [claude_code|codex|gemini|cursor]- Initialize a single profile root--all-profiles- Initialize all built-in profile roots
Examples:
# Create default collection
skillmeat init
# Create named collection
skillmeat init --name work
# Initialize Codex profile for a project
skillmeat init --project-path /path/to/project --profile codex
# Initialize all profile roots
skillmeat init --project-path /path/to/project --all-profiles
Output:
Notes:
- Creates collection directory structure (collection mode)
- Initializes empty collection.toml manifest
- In project mode, scaffolds profile roots like
.claude/,.codex/,.gemini/,.cursor/ - Safe to run multiple times (won't overwrite existing)

Security¶
SkillMeat displays security warnings before installing artifacts from any source. Artifacts can:
- Execute code
- Access system resources
- Read, create, and modify files
- Execute system commands
Best Practices:
- Only install from trusted sources
- Review artifacts before installation
- Use
verifycommand to inspect artifacts - Never use
--dangerously-skip-permissionsfor untrusted sources
