Skills

Skills give coding agents reusable workflows for the Entire CLI. Each Skill tells an agent when to use Entire, which commands to run, and how to interpret the result.

What Skills Do

Skills turn requests in natural language into repeatable CLI workflows. They can search checkpoints and transcripts, trace code to its original session, review changes with recorded intent, and package context for another agent. Skills use the history Entire has already recorded. Start with a repository that contains at least one agent session and checkpoint.

Choose a Skill

The Entire Skills repository ships these Skills:

Skill	Use It to	Example Request
`address-findings`	Fix open review findings on an Entire trail and resolve the findings you addressed.	`Address the findings for this trail: TRAIL_URL`
`explain`	Find the session that explains why a function, file, or line exists.	`Explain why parseConfig exists`
`recall`	Find similar prior work and turn the closest session into a task playbook.	`Have we done a migration like this before?`
`replay`	Walk through a feature’s checkpoints in chronological order.	`Replay how authentication was built`
`review`	Read recorded intent, then review the current branch for defects.	`Review this branch before merging`
`search`	Find prior work by topic, repository, branch, author, or time window.	`Search past work for rate limiting`
`session-crosslink`	Attach a session to affected repositories when the agent started outside them.	`Link this session to the repositories it changed`
`session-handoff`	Package active or saved session context for another agent.	`Hand off this session`
`session-to-skill`	Turn session history or a repeated workflow into a reusable Skill draft.	`Turn this session into a Skill`
`teach`	Build a lesson focused on a topic from canonical checkpoints.	`Teach me how this repository handles authentication`
`using-entire`	Route codebase exploration through the relevant Entire Skill and recorded history.	`Explore how authentication works in this codebase`
`what-happened`	Trace the latest change to a file range or pasted snippet.	`What happened at src/auth.ts:42?`

Install Skills

Use the Skills CLI to install the complete collection:

npx skills add https://github.com/entireio/skills --all

To install the Skill you found in the table, pass its name:

npx skills add https://github.com/entireio/skills --skill address-findings

The installer detects supported agents and their Skill directories. See the Skills tutorial for Codex, Claude Code, and Gemini CLI installation commands.

Install CLI Managed Helpers

The Entire CLI can add two helpers to a repository for Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI:

--search-skill installs a focused helper for entire search --json.
--agent-help-skill installs a helper that directs the agent to the command map from the installed Entire CLI.

Install them while enabling Entire:

entire enable --agent codex --search-skill --agent-help-skill

You can also add them with an agent integration:

entire agent add codex --search-skill --agent-help-skill

These flags install the two helpers for the selected repository and agent. Install the twelve Skills that work across agents through the Skills CLI or your agent’s package flow.

Install a CLI Plugin

Some agent workflows depend on commands that an Entire CLI plugin supplies. Search the plugin index, inspect a result, and install it by name:

entire plugin search QUERY
entire plugin info NAME
entire plugin install NAME

A CLI plugin is an entire-<name> executable that adds an entire NAME command. It differs from an entire-agent-<name> agent integration, which teaches Entire to capture sessions from another coding agent. Install a plugin’s agent Skill separately when the workflow also ships a Skill.
