skilljack-docs

Documentation for Skilljack, an MCP server that makes a catalogue of agent skills available to a language model. It explains the server's tools, configuration, skill discovery, and internal design.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure Skilljack, choose how skills are discovered, understand its MCP tools and resources, and integrate it with an MCP client.
Why use it?
It helps developers understand how Skilljack delivers and refreshes skills, including the difference between automatically updated and fixed skill lists. This reduces guesswork when setting up or troubleshooting the server.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

skilljack-docs scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Skilljack MCP Documentation

An MCP server that jacks Agent Skills directly into your LLM's brain.

Recommended: For best results, use an MCP client that supports tools/listChanged notifications (e.g., Claude Code). This enables dynamic skill discovery - when skills are added or modified, the client automatically refreshes its understanding of available skills. Alternatively, use --static mode for predictable behavior with a fixed skill set.

Tool search / deferred tools. By default, skilljack delivers its skill catalog via MCP server instructions, which arrive in the initialize handshake and reach the model even when tool search / deferred tool loading is enabled (the default on modern Claude Code, ~2.1.x) — automatic skill activation works out of the box. The legacy --catalog=tool-description mode (not recommended) delivers the catalog inside the load-skill tool description instead, but tool-search clients defer MCP tool descriptions out of context, so that mode requires disabling tool search (e.g. ENABLE_TOOL_SEARCH=false) for auto-activation. See Catalog Delivery.

Features

  • Dynamic Skill Discovery - Watches skill directories and automatically refreshes when skills change
  • Multiple Sources - Local directories, GitHub repositories, and .well-known/agent-skills/ publishers (both allowlisted)
  • Tool List Changed Notifications - Sends tools/listChanged so clients can refresh available skills
  • load-skill Tool - Load full skill content on demand (progressive disclosure)
  • MCP Prompts - Load skills via /skill prompt with auto-completion or per-skill prompts
  • MCP Resources - Access skills via skill:// URIs aligned with SEP-2640
  • Resource Subscriptions - Real-time file watching with notifications/resources/updated
  • Configuration UI - Manage skill directories through an interactive UI in supported clients

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

skilljack-docs is a skill published in the GitHub repository olaservo/skilljack-mcp (16 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 5,630 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
