Expert guidance on requesting, renewing, and revoking certificates in the Wendy ecosystem via pki-core. Use when developers mention: (1) requesting or issuing a certificate, (2) operator or service identity certs, (3) entitlement-bearing certs or field/USB access, (4) CSR, proof-of-possession, or cnf.jkt binding, (5) cert renewal or revocation, (6) service accounts, machine users, or CI credentials, (7) ML-DSA or post-quantum signing, (8) SPIFFE URIs or tenant_uuid.

From the source SKILL.md

How principals in the Wendy ecosystem get, renew, and lose certificates. pki-core is the sole issuer — every cert it mints binds a client-held key, never a bare identity claim. Which cert type a flow needs depends on where authorization will be enforced: the cloud-facing cert stays identity-only because cloud authorizes live against its own mutable state, while any cert used where there is no live authority to consult offline — an operator's cert for direct field/USB device access — must carry entitlements; device certs are identity-only, and entitlements ride on operator certs only (§4.2).…
