Use local Markdown skills, optional Vercel Skills discovery, and SOUL.md persona files to make Libre Claw reuse project workflows safely.
Skills are Markdown playbooks loaded from bundled, external, global, and project-local directories.
~/.libre-claw/skills/
<project>/.libre-claw/skills/
~/.libre-claw/skills/catalogs/
src/libre_claw/skills/Project skills override global, external, and bundled skills. External catalogues stay read-only until copied locally.
Libre Claw supports AgentSkills-style packages with a SKILL.md file.
