Why should I use wash instead of cargo component?

wash is the native CLI for the wasmCloud ecosystem and handles specific requirements, interfaces, and configurations that cargo component does not address.

Can I use this for local development?

Absolutely. The skill excels at using 'wash dev' to create a fast iteration cycle with automatic rebuilding and monitoring for your local environment.

Does this skill support the latest wasmCloud features?

Yes, it is specifically designed for wash version 2.0.0 and later, supporting the modern component model and advanced CLI capabilities.

How do I fix WIT version mismatches with this skill?

The skill provides guidance on using 'wash wit update' to automatically synchronize and resolve conflicting WebAssembly Interface Types definitions.
