"""Skill loader for CLI commands.

This module provides filesystem-based skill loading for CLI operations (list, create, info). It wraps the prebuilt middleware functionality from deepagents.middleware.skills and adapts it for direct filesystem access needed by CLI commands.

For middleware usage within agents, use deepagents.middleware.skills.SkillsMiddleware directly. """

This is a CLI-specific wrapper around the prebuilt middleware's skill loading
functionality. It uses FilesystemBackend to load skills from local directories.

When both directories are provided, project skills with the same name as
user skills will override them (project skills take precedence).

Args:
    user_skills_dir: Path to the user-level skills directory.
    project_skills_dir: Path to the project-level skills directory.

Returns:
    Merged list of skill metadata from both sources, with project skills
    taking precedence over user skills when names conflict.
