manage-skills

manage-skills is a skill for Codex from umutbozdag/agent-skills-manager. It costs 57 tokens per session (1,707 once invoked), scanned D, original, MIT.

A management tool for discovering, listing, creating, editing, enabling, copying, moving, and deleting AI-agent skills and rules across several coding tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to maintain project or global skills and rules for tools such as Cursor, Claude, Codex, Windsurf, Copilot, Cline, Aider, Continue, Roo Code, and others.
Why use it?
It provides one way to handle skills stored in different folders and configuration formats instead of managing each tool separately.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: reads ~/.codex or $CODEX_HOME. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Codex.

Good fit Use it to maintain project or global skills and rules for tools such as Cursor, Claude, Codex, Windsurf, Copilot, Cline, Aider, Continue, Roo Code, and others.

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 D, and why

manage-skills scanned grade D with 2 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 188 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Manage AI Agent Skills

You can manage skills and rules for all major AI coding tools directly from the terminal. This skill teaches you the directory layout, file format, and operations for each tool.

Supported Tools & Paths

Directory-based tools (multiple skills)

Each skill lives in its own subdirectory with a SKILL.md file containing YAML frontmatter.

Tool Global Path Project Path
Agents ~/.agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md .agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md
Cursor ~/.cursor/skills/<name>/SKILL.md .cursor/skills/<name>/SKILL.md
Claude ~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md
Windsurf ~/.windsurf/rules/<name>/<name>.md .windsurf/rules/<name>/<name>.md
Cline ~/.cline/rules/<name>/<name>.md .cline/rules/<name>/<name>.md
Continue ~/.continue/rules/<name>/<name>.md .continue/rules/<name>/<name>.md
Roo Code ~/.roo/rules/<name>/<name>.md .roo/rules/<name>/<name>.md

Single-file tools (one config file)

Tool Global Path Project Path
Copilot ~/.github/copilot-instructions.md .github/copilot-instructions.md
Codex ~/.codex/AGENTS.md .codex/AGENTS.md
Aider ~/.aider.conf.yml .aider.conf.yml
Augment ~/augment-guidelines.md augment-guidelines.md

Cursor plugins (read-only)

Plugin skills are cached at ~/.cursor/plugins/cache/<org>/<plugin>/<version>/skills/<name>/SKILL.md. These are managed by Cursor and should not be edited directly.

Skill File Format

For directory-based tools (Agents, Cursor, Claude), skills use YAML frontmatter:

---
name: skill-name
description: Brief description of what this skill does
---

# Skill Name

Skill instructions go here. The AI agent reads this content
when the skill is activated.

For Windsurf, Cline, Continue, and Roo Code, skills are plain .md files (frontmatter optional).

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.
