## What it 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`.

## When to use it
- Update legacy cargo-cdk setups to point to cargo-project

- Redirect agent workflows to current cargo-project instructions

## Example prompts
- Run cargo-ai project to initialize the workspace.
- Execute cargo-ai cdk to verify the alias still works.

# cargo-cdk is now cargo-project

Load [`cargo-project`](../cargo-project/SKILL.md) instead. It is this skill under its new name, following the CLI: `cargo-ai cdk` is now `cargo-ai project`, and `cdk` still works as an alias.

This directory holds no instructions. It is a redirect, and will be removed in a later release.
```
