What

  • SKILL.md at the repo root: a user-facing guide to the openhue CLI (install, pairing, lights and rooms, scenes, switch controls, live events, MCP server, troubleshooting).
  • openhue install-skill: the root SKILL.md is embedded in the binary (//go:embed in main.go) and written to ~/.claude/skills/openhue/SKILL.md ($CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/skills when set).
    • --project → ./.claude/skills, --dir <skills dir> → custom location, --print → stdout (mutually exclusive)
    • Overwrites on re-run and reports installed / updated / already up to date, so running it after brew upgrade refreshes the skill
    • Added to CommandsWithNoConfig, so it works before setup
  • .gitignore: the openhue-cli rule (meant for the go build output) also matched .claude/skills/openhue-cli/, so the CLI reference skill was never committed. Anchored to /openhue-cli and added the skill.
  • Docs: README.md install section, AGENTS.md and the CLI reference skill mention the new command.

Why

The skill under .claude/skills/ only loads inside this repo. install-skill lets any user give Claude Code a guide that matches their installed CLI version.

Notes for reviewers

  • cmd.Execute now takes the skill content as a second argument.
  • Tests in cmd/skill/install_test.go cover install / update / up to date, --dir, --print and CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR. go test ./... passes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added openhue install-skill to install the bundled Claude Code skill in the default or a selected directory, or print its contents. The command can run without an existing CLI configuration.
    • Added guidance for installing and using the CLI, including controlling lights, managing scenes, and connecting through MCP.
  • Documentation

    • Updated Homebrew setup instructions with the skill installation command.
    • Added contributor guidance to keep CLI references up to date.

Covers installation, bridge pairing, controlling lights and rooms,
scenes, switch controls, live events and the MCP server. AGENTS.md
now asks to keep both skills in sync with command changes.

Walkthrough

Adds CLI usage guides and contributor maintenance instructions. Embeds the root guide in the binary and adds an install-skill command to print or install it in a selected skills directory.

Changes: CLI skill guides and installation

Layer / File(s) Summary
CLI guides and maintenance
SKILL.md, .claude/skills/openhue-cli/SKILL.md, AGENTS.md, README.md, .github/workflows/skills-sh.yml
SKILL.md documents CLI setup, bridge pairing, resource selection, controls, scenes, events, MCP, and troubleshooting. The CLI reference documents commands and options. AGENTS.md describes how to keep the reference and user guide current. The Homebrew instructions add openhue install-skill. The workflow checks that the repository skill listing includes openhue.
Bundled skill installer
main.go, cmd/root.go, cmd/skill/install.go, cmd/skill/install_test.go, openhue/config.go, .gitignore
The binary embeds SKILL.md and passes its content to the registered install-skill command. The command supports default, project, custom-directory, and print modes. Installation creates or updates openhue/SKILL.md, reports when content is current, and returns errors for empty content and file operation failures. Tests cover these modes and status results. The command does not require configuration, and .gitignore now anchors the CLI ignore rule at the repository root.

The 'openhue-cli' ignore rule meant for the go build output also matched
.claude/skills/openhue-cli/, so the skill AGENTS.md points to was never
committed. Anchor the rule to the repo root.
Embeds the root SKILL.md in the binary and writes it to
~/.claude/skills/openhue/SKILL.md (or $CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/skills).
--project installs into ./.claude/skills, --dir into a custom skills
directory, --print writes it to stdout. Re-running after an upgrade
refreshes the skill. Runs without a bridge configuration.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @AGENTS.md:
- Line 61: The AGENTS.md instruction references a CLI skill that is absent from
a fresh checkout. Either add `.claude/skills/openhue-cli/SKILL.md` to the
repository so contributors can consult and update it, or remove the instruction
in AGENTS.md until the skill is available.

Review comments at @SKILL.md:
- Line 32: Update the setup guidance around the mDNS discovery description to
document that Docker’s default bridge network may prevent discovery of the Hue
Bridge. Explain that if online discovery also fails, users can run the container
with Linux host networking or provide the bridge IP using the existing `-b
<bridge-ip>` option.
- Around line 20-23: Update the Docker alternative in the setup instructions to
show how Docker users run `openhue setup` and subsequent commands such as `get
lights` through the container, keeping the config-folder mount for both commands
so setup does not depend on a host-installed executable.
- Around line 97-101: Add a scene-copy example alongside the existing YAML
workflow using openhue create scene "Cozy Copy" -r "Living Room" --from-file
cozy.yaml; keep the existing update example to distinguish copying from updating
the original scene.
- Line 23: Add an XDG-specific Docker example alongside the existing `get
lights` command that mounts the host’s `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/openhue` directory and
sets `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` inside the container to the matching mounted config root.
Preserve the existing home-directory example.

Show the config mount for setup and every command (with an alias), the
XDG mount, passing -b or using host networking when mDNS can't reach
the bridge, and installing the skill from the container. Add a create
--from-file example to copy a scene.
