The skill assumed `container` was already installed and had no concrete setup path. Add install guidance across SKILL.md, the workflows and troubleshooting references, and the diagnostic script: - Homebrew (`brew install container`) as the simplest path. - Apple's signed `.pkg` installer as the fallback when Homebrew is absent, including the official double-click flow and a headless `installer` equivalent for agents driving a terminal. - Upgrade/downgrade/uninstall helper scripts under /usr/local. - First-run `container system start` and verification steps. - Note that `brew install container` can succeed on macOS 15 even though the runtime needs macOS 26, so a clean install is not proof the host is supported. Link the user guide (apple.github.io/container/documentation), the Homebrew formula page, and the releases page from SKILL.md and metadata.json.

Summary
Add an
apple-containeragent skill for using thecontainerCLI as a native Linux container runtime on Apple silicon Macs.The skill covers:
container machinefor persistent Linux environmentsIt also includes a small diagnostic script for collecting host, service, network, and container smoke-test output, and adds the skill install command to the README.
Notes
The skill is CLI-first, but it points agents toward
apple/containerizationwhen the user asks to build Swift software directly against the lower-level container, image, and process management APIs.The skill structure was built using the skills.sh documentation and Anthropic’s
skill-creatorskill.This contribution was AI-assisted; I reviewed the generated content and validation output.
