Teaching agents: gloss skill#

gloss skill has no options of its own. gloss carries a skill that teaches an agent its headless surface, so it always matches the flags this binary has. gloss skill prints help; gloss skill show prints the skill; gloss skill install, or gloss skill install agent, writes it where the agents on this machine look, or into the skills folder named. gloss skill install rex writes the Lua that joins gloss to the Rex terminal multiplexer into Rex’s config folder: the gloss_companion action (cmd+shift+g), a gloss split that follows the shell and editor beside it over --socket, and gloss_push; it adds require("gloss") to init.lua once and has Rex reload.

Examples#

# Install it for the agents found on this machine
gloss skill install

# Or into the skills folder named
gloss skill install agent ~/.claude/skills

# Print it, to place by hand
gloss skill show

# Join gloss to Rex: a split that follows your shell and editor
gloss skill install rex
