Glaicer Skill Picker
Link only the collection skills that the target project needs. .agents/skills is the sole default target; additional targets are opt-in configuration, never inferred from installed harnesses.
Workflow
Run from the target project root. Locate this skill's base directory and run:
python3 <skill-base>/scripts/pick_skills.py --show-configRead
DATABASE.mdin the reportedsource_root. Treat it as the catalog for names, paths, descriptions, categories, and applicability. If it is missing, stop and report that the configured collection is incomplete.If the user named skills or a bundle, resolve those names. If the user asks what to pick, inspect the project, shortlist the smallest relevant set from
DATABASE.md, explain the recommendation, and wait for approval.Run the picker with the approved names and target project. Do not add harness-specific targets unless the user requested them or they are present in configuration.
Verify every resulting link and confirm that no unconfigured skill directories were created.
The task is complete when each requested skill resolves to its collection source from every configured target and no unrelated target directory changed.
Configuration
Default configuration:
{
"source_root": "~/Skills",
"targets": ["agents"]
}
Store overrides in ~/.config/skill-picker/config.json, or set SKILL_PICKER_CONFIG to another JSON file. SKILL_PICKER_SOURCE_ROOT overrides only the collection path. Command-line flags override both environment and config.
Target aliases:
agents→.agents/skillsclaude→.claude/skillscline→.cline/skills
--target is repeatable and may also contain another project-relative directory. Supplying any --target values replaces the configured target list for that run.
Commands
Use configured defaults—only .agents/skills unless changed:
python3 <skill-base>/scripts/pick_skills.py typescript-best-practices --project-root .
Override the source collection:
python3 <skill-base>/scripts/pick_skills.py impeccable \
--source-root /path/to/Skills --project-root /path/to/project
Opt into Claude Code as an additional target for one run:
python3 <skill-base>/scripts/pick_skills.py impeccable \
--target agents --target claude
Names match hyphens and underscores equivalently. A bundle selects every descendant skill recursively. A nested skill name selects only that skill. Existing non-symlink paths are preserved and reported as errors.
