Install agent skills from the faros repository into Claude Code and Codex

## Synopsis

Fetch the skills/ directory of github.com/faroshq/faros (or another
repository with the same layout) and install each skill where Claude Code
and Codex discover them:

```bash
Claude Code   ~/.claude/skills/<name>   (--scope user, the default)
              .claude/skills/<name>    (--scope project)
Codex         ~/.agents/skills/<name>
              .agents/skills/<name>
```

The skills are read from GitHub at install time, so you always get the
current main branch (or the --ref you name) regardless of the CLI version.
Re-run install to update. Directories that faros installed are replaced;
directories you wrote yourself are left alone unless you pass --force.

Skills load when an agent session starts, so restart Claude Code or Codex
after installing.

## Options

```
