cargo-cdk — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
A redirect skill that points to cargo-project. It updates legacy installations following the cargo-ai CLI command rename.
npx skills add getcargohq/cargo-skills --skill cargo-cdk -a claude-codeWhat cargo-cdk does
The cargo-cdk skill serves as a redirect pointer to cargo-project. The underlying tool renamed cargo-ai cdk to cargo-ai project, while keeping cdk as a working alias. This entry exists solely to overwrite older installations with a pointer to the new skill name.
There are no operational instructions inside this directory. It links to cargo-project/SKILL.md and requires @cargo-ai/cli from npm for compatibility. The author plans to remove this directory entirely in a future release.
Because this directory contains no instructions, the author explicitly advises skipping it in favor of cargo-project.
What it helps with
- Update legacy cargo-cdk setups to point to cargo-project
- Maintain compatibility when invoking the cdk alias
- Redirect agent workflows to current cargo-project instructions
Example prompts for the agent
- Run cargo-ai project to initialize the workspace.
- Execute cargo-ai cdk to verify the alias still works.
