Claude Skills
The CLI is the mechanical half of Eidos and works with any agent that has a shell. For Claude Code and Claude Desktop, the standard’s own repository ships a plugin of skills for the parts that take judgment: questioning a rough idea until it holds still, reshaping a draft, changing the framework with the owner.

Where the CLI is installed, a skill hands the mechanical steps to it. What a skill adds is the conversation: the questions, the pressing on scope, the decisions brought back to the owner. Nothing in a skill is required to use Eidos.
