Add skills bundle zip for Claude Desktop / Cowork - #8
Merged
Conversation
Claude Desktop / Cowork installs skills by uploading a zip (Customize > Skills), not by reading a filesystem dir like the CLIs. Add a builder, and fix the description to fit Cowork's limit. - `threads skills bundle [--out]` writes threads-skill.zip with a single top-level threads/ folder (SKILL.md + references; dev-only evals/state excluded), the structure Claude Desktop expects. - Shorten the SKILL.md description to 192 chars — Claude Desktop requires the skill description <= 200 chars (it was 377). Still a fine trigger description for the CLIs too. - Docs (README, cheatsheet) cover the Cowork upload path. Tests: zip structure (single threads/ root, SKILL.md present, evals excluded) and a guard that the description stays <= 200 chars. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
