skills-manager

A manager for finding and installing skills from a skills registry into agent workspaces. It also lists installed skills and manages which agents can use them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search the registry, install a skill for an agent, list installed skills, or manage skill access.
Why use it?
It avoids manually locating and copying skill packages and provides one workflow for checking availability and installation.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Per session 94 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.
When invoked 493 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

skills-manager 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/skills-manager.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

Skills Manager

Search the skills registry and install skills to agent workspaces.

Available operations

Search skills

Search the registry for skills matching a query:

bash .agents/skills/skills-manager/scripts/skills-manager.sh search <query> [agent_id]
  • query — keyword to search for (e.g. "seo", "pdf", "browser")
  • agent_id — optional; agent whose workspace to run the search from (defaults to current agent via settings)

Install a skill

Install a skill from the registry to an agent's workspace:

bash .agents/skills/skills-manager/scripts/skills-manager.sh install <skill_ref> <agent_id>
  • skill_ref — skill reference from search results (e.g. "@anthropic/seo" or a GitHub URL)
  • agent_id — the agent to install the skill to

List installed skills

List skills currently installed in an agent's workspace:

bash .agents/skills/skills-manager/scripts/skills-manager.sh list [agent_id]

If agent_id is omitted, lists skills for all agents.

Workflow

  1. Search the registry to find a skill: skills-manager.sh search "image editing"
  2. Review the results — note the skill reference string
  3. Install it to the target agent: skills-manager.sh install <ref> <agent_id>
  4. Verify with list: skills-manager.sh list <agent_id>

Notes

  • The TinyAGI API must be running (tinyagi start) for search and install via API
  • Search uses the skills CLI under the hood (auto-installed via npx)
  • Install places skills into the agent's .agents/skills/ directory
  • Installed skills are automatically available to the agent on its next invocation
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
