Akash Skill — Deprecated (See README)

This standalone skill has been split into three skills and repackaged as a Claude Code plugin:

• akash-network:akash — Deploy workloads (SDL, Console API, CLI, SDKs)
• akash-network:akash-provider — Run an Akash provider
• akash-network:akash-node — Run a full node or validator

How to migrate

1. Remove the standalone install. If this skill was installed by symlinking or cloning into ~/.claude/skills/akash/, remove that directory.

2. Install the plugin. From the repo root (where you found this file):

   claude --plugin-dir /path/to/this/repo
   

   Or, if the plugin is published to a Claude Code marketplace your client is configured for:

   /plugin install akash-network
   

3. The three skills will then be available as akash-network:akash, akash-network:akash-provider, and akash-network:akash-node. The triggers in their descriptions are the same as before, just with the namespace prefix.

Why the split?

The original skill mixed three distinct personas (deployer, provider operator, validator operator) into one description, which made it hard for Claude to pick the right skill for the right task. Splitting them sharpens trigger precision and lets each skill stay focused.

See README.md for the full changelog and rationale.
