Skills CLI

Goal: manage Agent Skills from the CLI without guessing syntax.

Use for:

• bunx skills, npx skills, skills.sh, or skills-lock.json
• finding skills, installing one skill from a repo, or syncing agent targets
• backing up, restoring, updating, removing, or initializing skill packages

Current syntax:

• search: bunx skills find <query>
• install repo skill: bunx skills add <source> --skill <name>
• install direct path: bunx skills add https://github.com/org/repo/tree/main/skills/name
• inspect: bunx skills list, bunx skills check
• maintain: bunx skills update, bunx skills remove <name>
• start package: bunx skills init

Workflow:

1. Identify the target agent and install scope.
2. Prefer bunx; use npx when Bun is unavailable.
3. Use skills.sh for discovery, then verify source and repo health.
4. Install only after the user agrees.
5. Re-run list or check to confirm the result.

Quality checks:

• prefer official or source-author skills
• inspect low-install or unknown repos before recommending
• avoid old owner/repo@skill syntax

Rules:

• show the exact command and one expected confirmation
• keep CLI branches short and executable
• say what is unknown instead of adding flags by habit
• do not mutate user/global skill state without consent
• do not paste secrets from lockfiles or environment output
• when a command fails, report the exact command and error
