# Skillbox

Use `skillbox` to manage AI agent skills. All commands support `--json` for machine-readable output.

## Core Workflow

```bash
skillbox list              # see installed skills
skillbox status            # check for outdated skills
skillbox update [name]     # update all or specific skill
```

## Adding Skills

| Command                                | Description                    |
| -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| `skillbox add owner/repo`              | Install all skills from a repo |
| `skillbox add owner/repo --list`       | List skills in a repo first    |
| `skillbox add owner/repo --skill name` | Install specific skill         |
| `skillbox add <url>`                   | Install from direct URL        |

## Removing Skills

```bash
skillbox remove <name>
```

## JSON Output

Always use `--json` when running programmatically:

```bash
skillbox list --json
skillbox status --json
skillbox update <name> --json
skillbox add <url> --json
```

## Tips

- Run `skillbox --help` or `skillbox <command> --help` to see all available options
- Run `skillbox status` periodically to check for updates
- Use `skillbox list` to see available skills and their subcommands
- GitHub API has a 60 req/hr limit for unauthenticated requests
