       <p><a href="https://github.com/traverse-framework/claude-skills" target="_blank" rel="noopener">traverse-framework/claude-skills</a> hosts Claude Skills for building apps with Traverse — starting with <code>traverse-app-builder</code>, which checks the registry for a capability that already fits, authors a new one as a real JSON-Schema contract only when nothing does, compiles it to genuinely executable, ABI-compliant WASM, composes several into a multi-node workflow, and validates and runs all of it against the real <code>traverse-cli</code>. It also states this platform's current limitations plainly, since a skill that overclaims what Traverse can run today is worse than no skill at all.</p>

+      <p>An author runs <code>traverse-cli capability publish</code>, which validates the contract locally and opens a PR automatically. CI then runs deterministic checks — schema validation, semver correctness, digest integrity, namespace-collision detection. A human still has to approve it: automated checks alone can never merge a publish. Once merged, a published version is immutable — fixes go through yanking or deprecating a version, never an in-place edit.</p>
