- Create a skill that combines `builtin/read_file` with a custom inline tool
- Use `--format json` output with `jq` to extract specific fields:
```bash
python -m cleveragents resource list --format json | jq '.data[].name'
agents resource list --format json | jq '.data[].name'
```
- Register an MCP-backed skill using a local MCP server
- Use `skill tools --format json` to get a machine-readable tool inventory
