## Overview

Nintex K2 Skills is a Windows-only toolkit for building self-hosted K2 Five solutions from manifests rather than designer clicks. The documented workflow is to discover and validate a K2 environment, review a solution plan, create and verify governed artifacts, then promote them through guarded Package and Deployment releases. The tree shows operational CLIs for environment discovery, data objects, controls, forms, workflows, and case management. The README documents suite-level stages and capabilities; source excerpts are partial, so some cross-tool relationships are documented rather than directly visible in sampled calls.
