vercel skills

The vercel skills command surfaces agent skills relevant to your project. When run without arguments, it detects the project's framework (via @vercel/fs-detectors) and scans the package.json file for a curated set of notable dependencies (e.g. ORMs, auth libraries, payment SDKs, testing frameworks). It then recommends matching skills from the catalog. When given a search term, it searches the catalog for that keyword instead.
