What

  • Restores CLAUDE.md as a pointer to AGENTS.md, the same file Remove the bundled LiveKit agent skills #106 removed.
  • Changes the LiveKit agent skills section of AGENTS.md so a coding agent installs the skills with lk skills install --yes when they're missing, instead of recommending that the developer do it. It also checks for a global install, and falls back to asking the developer when it can't run commands or the CLI predates lk skills (v2.19.0).

Why

Coding agents started from this template don't pick up the LiveKit skills (DEVX-840). Claude Code doesn't read AGENTS.md on its own, so without CLAUDE.md it never sees the skills section. And an agent that does read it only suggests the install, so the skills aren't there for that session.

This partly reverts #106: the bundled skills stay removed, and only the pointer file comes back.

How to verify

  1. Run lk agent init with this template, and skip the skills install it offers (or remove .agents/ and .claude/ afterward).
  2. Open the project in a fresh Claude Code session and ask it to add a feature to the agent.
  3. It should run lk skills install --yes (or ask you to) before it starts, then use the LiveKit skills.

The same change for the Node starter: livekit-examples/agent-starter-node#75

Documentation only. No code or test changes.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Restore CLAUDE.md so Claude Code reads AGENTS.md, and have coding agents
run `lk skills install --yes` when the LiveKit skills are missing instead
of only recommending it.
