## What it does

This plugin provides skills and guidance for developing and using Grafana Assistant. It bundles `rules/grafana-assistant.mdc`, which outlines best practices for running Grafana MCP tools. The package also includes `skills/grafana-assistant-cli/SKILL.md` to run the `grafana-assistant` command-line utility through the A2A API.

This package does not bundle the 40+ tools for Loki, Prometheus, dashboards, and alerts. Those live in the separate `grafana-mcp` plugin. You also need the `grafana-assistant` CLI installed locally before triggering command-line operations.
