vd is a single-binary vendoring package manager for coding-agent skills plus a local observability suite over the transcripts Claude Code and Codex already write. One manifest (skills.toml), one lock, one build for every agent target — and vd obs turns the local session logs into sessions, cost, per-skill health, and ranked error clusters. Observability is read-only: it never touches agent-owned files, and its cache (~/.vd/obs/obs.sqlite) is derived — safe to delete, rebuilt on next run.
Vd CLI is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/vd-cli/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when the user asks to vendor/sync/build skills across Claude Code and Codex, inspect agent sessions, tokens, or API-equivalent cost, find which skills or tools are erroring, or run the self-heal loop over `vd obs health --json` to diagnose and fix a failing skill from evidence.
The Vd CLI Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 178,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/vd-cli curl -L https://claudskills.com/skills/vd-cli/SKILL.md \ -o ~/.claude/skills/vd-cli/SKILL.md
Or just download SKILL.md directly and drop it into ~/.claude/skills/vd-cli/. Claude Code auto-discovers it on next session.
Skills live at ~/.claude/skills/vd-cli/SKILL.md on macOS/Linux, or %USERPROFILE%\.claude\skills\vd-cli\SKILL.md on Windows. See the full install guide for step-by-step instructions.

The ClaudSkills desktop app installs any skill directly into ~/.claude/skills/ with one click — no terminal required. Pro starts at $9/mo or $149 lifetime.
For the full experience including quality scoring and one-click install features for each skill — upgrade to Pro.
SKILL.md from the source repository to ~/.claude/skills/vd-cli/SKILL.md and restart Claude Code. Both flows are detailed at claudskills.com/install/.SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Vd CLI is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the General category.
