Guardrails
Always use --fields on list/search/info to keep output small. Default: --fields name,tier,workArea,description.
Always use --dry-run before installing anything.
Never install more than 3 skills at once without explicit user confirmation.
Prefer --format json in non-interactive pipelines. The CLI defaults to JSON when stdout is not a TTY.
Use --limit when browsing large catalogs. Start with --limit 10.
