Adds SKILL.md -- an installable agent skill for AI-powered IDEs (e.g. IBM Bob) that gives the agent deep expertise in deploying and managing IBM Cloud Code Engine workloads.

Updates README.md with a new AI Skill for Agentic IDEs section covering:

  • Install command: npx skills add IBM/CodeEngine
  • Two example prompts (generate & deploy a new project, deploy existing code)
  • A note to log in to IBM Cloud before use

Files changed:

  • SKILL.md (new) — Code Engine specialist skill definition
  • README.md — new section documenting the skill and how to use it

LGTM - Looks good.

Only Remark I have: Shall we move the skills folder into the ai folder and let it appear under /ai/skills/?

Overall, LGTM but the main concern is the size of the skill file. It's a one 1,175-line file. Best practice is keeping the SKILL.md body under 500 lines for optimal performance due to progressive disclosure.

Thus, the skill could be splitted into multiples files, e.g., moving troubleshooting/patterns/CLI-reference into references/*.md.:

  • references/troubleshooting.md (Common Issues + Diagnostic Patterns)
  • references/patterns.md (Deployment Patterns 1–8 + Dockerfiles)
  • references/cli-reference.md (Quick Reference CLI)

Or a similar structure while keeping the SKILL.md to the workflow + pointers.
