Skills

AI agent skills for deployment automation. These are used by Cursor and other AI coding assistants.

Available Skills

Skill	Description
deploy.md	Deploy current project to the platform
restart.md	Rolling restart backend deployment
check-setup.md	Verify project structure before deployment
agents.md	Instructions for AI agents

How Skills Work

When you run chrono init in your project, the skills are copied to .chrono/skills/. AI agents read these files to understand how to help you deploy.

Using Skills in Cursor

Simply ask Cursor to deploy, restart, or check your project setup:

• "Deploy this project"
• "Restart the backend"
• "Check if my project is ready for deployment"

The AI will read the relevant skill and follow the steps.
