Using twill with AI coding agents
The documentation is also provided in a form suitable for LLMs and coding agents as llms.txt and llms-full.txt.
The repository contains an agent skill that teaches coding agents how to write, run and debug twill scripts. In Claude Code, you can install it as a plugin with:
/plugin marketplace add twill-tools/twill
/plugin install twill@twill-tools
For other coding agents, copy the directory skills/twill into their skills directory, or use a skill installer that supports GitHub repositories.
