Manage the Axiom authoring Skills for Claude Code

Install the Axiom authoring Skills for Claude Code.

Claude Code reads "Skills" (SKILL.md files under a .claude/skills/ directory) to
learn how to drive a tool. Axiom ships two:

```text
axiom-package-authoring   the create→validate→dev→push→publish loop for a node package
axiom-flow-authoring      the new→validate→compile→run→publish loop for a flow
```

"axiom skills install" writes them into your Claude Code skills directory so your
agent is oriented the moment you open a project.

## Usage

```sh
axiom skills [flags]
axiom skills [command]
```

## Flags

| Flag | Shorthand | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `--help` | `-h` | bool |  | help for skills |
