feat: --beta skills — pre-install MCP servers on remote VMs#3162
Conversation
Adds a new beta feature that shows a skills picker during interactive setup, letting users select MCP servers (GitHub, Playwright, Fetch, Context7, PostgreSQL) to pre-install on the remote VM. - Add "skills" to VALID_BETA_FEATURES in index.ts - Add skill catalog to manifest.json with per-agent MCP configs - Add SkillDef/McpServerConfig types to manifest.ts - New shared/skills.ts module: filtering, picker prompt, MCP config merge for Claude Code (~/.claude/settings.json) and Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json) - Wire skills picker into interactive.ts (after setup options) - Wire skill installation into orchestrate.ts (after agent configure) - Export uploadConfigFile from agent-setup.ts for reuse - Version bump 0.30.10 → 0.31.0 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Extends the skills catalog beyond MCP servers to include instruction
skills (SKILL.md files) that work with agents supporting the shared
YAML frontmatter + markdown format.
New instruction skills:
- Git Workflow (default on) — branching, conventional commits, PR workflow
- Web Search (default on) — search the web, fetch URLs, extract content
- Docker — container management, compose, best practices
- Deploy — SSH, Docker, pm2, systemd deployment patterns
Supported agents: Claude Code, OpenClaw, Codex CLI (all share the
~/.{agent}/skills/{name}/SKILL.md format)
