  Modal PUBLISHES its own Agent Skill. It is not something this pipeline
  authored: the skill ships inside the `modal` PyPI distribution at
  py/modal/skills/modal/SKILL.md, and Modal exposes a dedicated CLI command
  group — `modal skills install|show|update` — to install it into a project's
  .agents/ or .claude/ directory, optionally bundling the docs as local
  references. Saved verbatim.
distribution:
  cli: modal skills install
  cli_docs: https://modal.com/docs/cli/latest/skills
  installs_to:
  - .agents/
  - .claude/ (with --claude)
  global_flag: -g / --global installs to the user home directory
  bundled_docs: >-
    By default the installer also downloads Modal documentation into
    references/; --no-docs skips it.

    Foundational skill for working with the Modal cloud platform. Triggers when
    a user mentions Modal, imports the `modal` SDK in Python/Go/JavaScript, or
    needs scalable compute, GPUs, or a sandbox for untrusted code.
