# Using bgs-archive

`bgs-archive` is the agent-native CLI for Bethesda BA2/BSA archives. It detects archive family/version, lists entries, extracts assets, and packs supported BSA/BA2 outputs for MO2 overlay workflows.

Use this skill for:

- unpacking or extracting BA2/BSA assets;
- repacking supported BA2/BSA archives;
- inspecting archive contents, format, version, compression, or entry counts;
- preparing packed assets for a mod overlay.

Do not use it for plugin records (`.esp/.esm/.esl`) or load-order edits. Route those through xEdit / load-order skills.
