### wads.install_skills.install_skills(, force=False, copy=False, verbose=True)

Install wads Claude Code skills to ~/.claude/skills/.

By default, creates symlinks so skills stay in sync with the wads package.
Use `copy=True` to copy files instead (not recommended — updates won’t
propagate, and the skills depend on wads being installed anyway).

* **Parameters:**
  * **force** ([`bool`](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/functions.html#bool)) – If True, overwrite existing skill entries.
  * **copy** ([`bool`](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/functions.html#bool)) – If True, copy files instead of creating symlinks.
  * **verbose** ([`bool`](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/functions.html#bool)) – If True, print progress.
* **Return type:**
  [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/stdtypes.html#list)[[`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/stdtypes.html#str)]
* **Returns:**
  List of installed skill names.

### wads.install_skills.list_available_skills()
