The official meta-skill for understanding and customizing Trellis. Current Trellis projects get this skill automatically from trellis init, so AI can help you:
  • Add specialized agents for your workflow
  • Change how context gets injected
  • Add project-specific commands
  • Adapt local .trellis/ and platform files to your project

​
Install

Works with all Trellis platform skill roots: Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, Codex, Kilo, Kiro, Gemini CLI, Antigravity, Windsurf, Qoder, CodeBuddy, GitHub Copilot, Factory Droid, and Pi Agent. For Trellis-managed projects, initialize or update the platform you use: 
trellis init --claude
trellis init --codex
trellis update
trellis init writes trellis-meta into the selected platform’s skill directory and trellis update keeps it hash-tracked with the rest of the built-in templates. For non-Trellis projects or older Trellis installs, use the marketplace compatibility path: 
npx skills add mindfold-ai/marketplace --skill trellis-meta
Or install all available skills: 
npx skills add mindfold-ai/marketplace
Options:
FlagDescription
-gInstall globally (~/.claude/skills/)
-a claude-codeTarget a specific agent
-yNon-interactive mode

​
Verify Installation

Check if the skill is available: 
What skills do you have access to?
Your AI tool should list trellis-meta in the response.

​
Usage

After installation, tell AI what you want: 
I want to add a deploy agent to handle deployment workflow

Help me modify the check hook to add a custom verification command

I want to add a new workflow phase called review
AI will automatically use the skill’s documentation and give you the correct modification steps.
