For end users

Can I add my own skills or apps?

Yes. That’s the whole design. Skills live at skills/<name>/ and apps at apps/<name>/, both following a stable folder shape (manifest, schema, optional helpers). The make-it skill scaffolds either one for you: npx pectus make-it skill or npx pectus make-it app.

Edit them, fork them, share them. Pectus is fully local — what you write stays yours. npx pectus update updates the CMS, runner, connectors, and migrations; the skills and apps you’ve added or edited aren’t overwritten. If you build something useful, share it: bundle the folder, hand it to someone, they drop it into their own skills/. A one-shot pectus skill install <repo-url> for installing third-party packages is on the roadmap.
