AI Skills
llms.txt lists every page for an agent
The Kubernetes lexicon ships an AI skill called chant-k8s that teaches AI coding agents how to build, validate, and deploy Kubernetes manifests from a chant project.
What are skills?
Section titled “What are skills?”A skill is a markdown file shipped with a lexicon. An AI agent working in a chant project finds and loads the relevant skills itself, so it knows the build, lint and apply steps without being told.
Installation
Section titled “Installation”When you scaffold a new project with chant init --lexicon k8s, the skill is installed to skills/chant-k8s/SKILL.md for automatic discovery by Claude Code.
