Fish shell configuration and PATH management.

From the source SKILL.md

Fish is not POSIX. Every pattern here targets Fish 3.0+ (supports $(), &&, ||). Fish 4.0 (Rust rewrite) has no syntax changes. All generated code must use Fish-native syntax exclusively — never emit Bash constructs (VAR=value, [[ ]], export, heredocs) in Fish contexts.

What this skill does

Fish Shell Config is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the dev-shells sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/fish-shell-config/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
