# tzst
Use this skill for the `tzst` command-line interface. Default to execution when the user clearly wants a real archive action and the required paths or archive names are already known.
This skill is CLI-only. If the user is asking about Python code such as `from tzst import ...`, treat that as a general Python library or API documentation task instead of using this skill as the main guide.
## When to Use
Use this skill when the user:
- mentions `.tzst` or `.tar.zst` archives
- wants to create, extract, flatten, list, or test a `tzst` archive
- needs help installing `tzst` or choosing CLI flags
- wants machine-readable `tzst` output for scripting or automation
- needs safe conflict handling or extraction filter guidance
Do not use this skill for generic `tar`, `zip`, or Python API questions unless `tzst` is actually part of the request.
## Preflight
1. Check whether `tzst` is available with `tzst --version` or `tzst --help`.
2. If it is missing, prefer one of these installation paths:
- `uv tool install tzst`
- `pip install tzst`
- a standalone release binary from <https://github.com/xixu-me/tzst/releases/latest> when the user does not want a Python installation
3. Re-run `tzst --version` or `tzst --help` before doing real work.
## Workflow
1. Decide whether the request is execution or guidance.
Requests like "archive these files", "extract this backup", "list what is inside", "test this archive", or "install tzst" are execution intent.
2. Choose th
