skills

List and install DAC agent skills into a project.

Agent skills are local instructions that help coding agents create and modify DAC dashboards correctly. DAC currently ships a bundled create-dashboard skill for dashboard authoring.

dac init installs bundled skills automatically for new projects. Use dac skills install for existing projects or to refresh a skill with --force.

List Skills

dac skills list

This prints the bundled skills and their install targets.

Install Skills

dac skills install --dir .

By default, this installs every bundled DAC skill into the target project:

.claude/skills/create-dashboard/SKILL.md
.codex/skills/create-dashboard -> ../../.claude/skills/create-dashboard

Claude gets the real skill file. Codex gets a symlink to the same skill directory so both agents use one shared copy.

Install a specific skill:

dac skills install create-dashboard --dir .

Overwrite an existing customized skill:

dac skills install create-dashboard --dir . --force

Restart your agent session after installing skills so the agent can discover the new local instructions.

Flags

Flag	Alias	Description
--dir	-d	Target project directory
--force	-f	Overwrite existing skill files

Notes

• Installing skills does not change dashboard behavior at runtime.
• Skills are optional; they improve agent authoring and review workflows.
• Existing files are not overwritten unless --force is provided.
