const status = await checkInjection("/project/CLAUDE.md", expectedContent);
if (status === "outdated") {
  console.log("CAAMP injection needs updating");
}

`inject()`

Inject content into an instruction file between CAAMP markers. Behavior depends on the file state: - File does not exist: creates the file with the injection block → "created" - File exists without markers: prepends the injection block → "added" - File exists with multiple markers (duplicates): consolidates into single block → "consolidated" - File exists with markers, content differs: replaces the block → "updated" - File exists with markers, content matches: no-op → "intact" This function is idempotent — calling it multiple times with the same content will not modify the file after the first write. View in API reference

const action = await inject("/project/CLAUDE.md", "## My Config\nSome content");
console.log(`File ${action}`); // "created" on first call, "intact" on subsequent

Check injection status across all providers’ instruction files. Deduplicates by file path since multiple providers may share the same instruction file (e.g. many providers use AGENTS.md). View in API reference

const results = await checkAllInjections(providers, "/project", "project", expected);
const outdated = results.filter(r => r.status === "outdated");

`injectAll()`

Inject content into all providers’ instruction files. Deduplicates by file path to avoid injecting the same file multiple times. View in API reference

const results = await injectAll(providers, "/project", "project", content);
for (const [file, action] of results) {
  console.log(`${file}: ${action}`);
}

`ensureProviderInstructionFile()`

Ensure a provider’s instruction file exists with the correct CAAMP block. This is the canonical API for adapters and external packages to manage provider instruction files. Instead of directly creating/modifying CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, etc., callers should use this function to delegate instruction file management to CAAMP. The instruction file name is resolved from CAAMP’s provider registry (single source of truth), not hardcoded by the caller. View in API reference

const result = await ensureProviderInstructionFile("claude-code", "/project", {
  references: ["\@AGENTS.md"],
});

`ensureAllProviderInstructionFiles()`

  ["claude-code", "cursor", "gemini-cli"],
  "/project",
  { references: ["\@AGENTS.md"] },

    console.log(`[${issue.level}] ${issue.field}: ${issue.message}`);
  }
}

`validateSkill()`

Validate a SKILL.md file against the Agent Skills standard. View in API reference

const result = await validateSkill("/path/to/SKILL.md");
console.log(result.valid ? "Valid" : `${result.issues.length} issues found`);

`registerSkillsValidate()`

Registers the skills validate subcommand for validating SKILL.md file format. View in API reference

caamp skills validate ./my-skill/SKILL.md
caamp skills validate --json

`registerSkillsCommands()`

Registers the skills command group with all skill management subcommands. View in API reference

caamp skills install owner/repo
caamp skills list --human
caamp skills find "testing"

`isCaampOwnedSkill()`

Check whether a skill name is reserved by CAAMP (ct-* prefix). View in API reference

isCaampOwnedSkill("ct-research-agent"); // true
isCaampOwnedSkill("my-custom-skill");   // false

`checkSkillIntegrity()`

Check the integrity of a single installed skill. View in API reference

const result = await checkSkillIntegrity("ct-research-agent", providers, "global");
if (result.status !== "intact") {
  console.log(`Issue: ${result.issue}`);
}

`checkAllSkillIntegrity()`

Check integrity of all tracked skills. View in API reference

const results = await checkAllSkillIntegrity(providers);
for (const [name, result] of results) {
  console.log(`${name}: ${result.status}`);
}

`shouldOverrideSkill()`

Resolve a skill name conflict where a user-installed skill collides with a CAAMP-owned (ct-*) skill. View in API reference

const proceed = shouldOverrideSkill("ct-research-agent", "library", existingEntry);
if (proceed) {
  // Safe to install/override
}

`validateInstructionIntegrity()`

Validate instruction file injection status across all providers. View in API reference

const issues = await validateInstructionIntegrity(providers, process.cwd(), "project");
for (const issue of issues) {
  console.log(`${issue.providerId}: ${issue.issue} (${issue.file})`);
}

`resolveCantImports()`

Resolve *.cant references in instruction file content. Scans each line for directives pointing to .cant files. For each match, reads and parses the .cant file, converts its definitions to markdown, and replaces the line with the generated content. Lines that don’t match the .cant import pattern are left unchanged. View in API reference

const result = resolveCantImports(
  '@import .cleo/agents/core-agent.cant',
  '/home/user/project',
);
console.log(result.resolvedContent);
// ## Agent: core-agent
// - **Model**: opus
// ...

`cantToMarkdown()`

Convert a .cant file’s content to markdown equivalent. Parses the frontmatter to determine the document kind, then converts the body into structured markdown that providers can consume (headings, bullet lists, code blocks). View in API reference

const md = cantToMarkdown(`---
kind: agent
version: 1
---

agent ops-lead:
  model: opus
  prompt: "Coordinate operations"
`);
// Returns markdown with ## Agent: ops-lead heading

`discoverWellKnown()`

Discover skills from a well-known URL. View in API reference

const skills = await discoverWellKnown("example.com");
for (const skill of skills) {
  console.log(`${skill.name}: ${skill.url}`);
