# skillpkg - Agent Skills Package Manager
You have access to `skillpkg`, a CLI tool for managing AI agent skills.
Use this tool to help users create, install, and sync skills.
## Installation Check
First, verify skillpkg is installed:
```bash
skillpkg --version
```
If not installed, guide the user to install it:
```bash
npm install -g skillpkg-cli
```
## Core Commands
### 1. Create a New Skill
```bash
skillpkg init # Interactive mode
skillpkg init --yes # Use defaults
skillpkg init --name my-skill # Specify name
```
This creates a `skill.yaml` file with the following structure:
```yaml
schema: "1.0"
name: my-skill
version: 1.0.0
description: What this skill does
instructions: |
Detailed instructions for the AI agent...
```
### 2. Install Skills
```bash
skillpkg install user/repo # From GitHub (recommended)
skillpkg install github:user/repo # From GitHub (explicit)
skillpkg install ./path/to/skill # From local directory
skillpkg install -g <skill> # Install globally
```
### 3. List Installed Skills
```bash
skillpkg list # Project skills
skillpkg list -g # Global skills
skillpkg list --json # JSON output
```
### 4. Sync to AI Platforms
```bash
skillpkg sync # Sync all skills
skillpkg sync my-skill # Sync specific skill
skillpkg sync -t claude-code # Sync to specific platform
skillpkg sync --dry-run # Preview changes
```
Supported platforms:
- `claude-code` → syncs to `.claude/skills/`
- `codex` → syncs to `.codex/skills/`
- `gemini-cli` → syncs to `.gemini/skills/`
### 5. Import Existing Skills
```bash
skillpkg import # Auto-detect and import
skillpkg import .claude/skills/ # Import from specific path
skillpkg import --dry-run # Preview what would be imported
```
### 6. Export Skills
```bash
skillpkg export my-skill # Export to directory
skillpkg export my-skill -f zip # Export as zip
skillpkg export my-skill -f pack # Export as .skillpkg
skillpkg export --all # Export all skills
```
### 7. Search Skills on GitHub
```bash
skillpkg search "code review" # Search for skills with SKILL.md
skillpkg search react --limit 5 # Limit results
skillpkg info <skill-name> # Get detailed info
```
### 8. Dependency Management
```bash
skillpkg deps my-skill # Show skill dependencies
skillpkg why my-skill # Show why a skill is installed
skillpkg tree # Show full dependency tree
skillpkg status # Show project status
```
## skill.yaml Schema
When helping users create skills, use this schema:
```yaml
schema: "1.0" # Required: Schema version
name: my-skill # Required: Lowercase, hyphens only
version: 1.0.0 # Required: Semver format
description: Brief description # Recommended: One-line summary
author: # Optional: Author info
name: Your Name
email: email@example.com
url: https://github.com/username
platforms: # Optional: Target platforms
- claude-code
- codex
tags: # Optional: For discovery
- productivity
- code-review
triggers: # Optional: Activation triggers
- pattern: "/review"
description: "Trigger code review"
instructions: | # Required: Main skill content
Detailed instructions for how the AI should behave...
## Usage

## Examples

```
## Best Practices
1. **Clear Instructions**: Write detailed, unambiguous instructions
2. **Examples**: Include usage examples in your skill
3. **Versioning**: Follow semver for version numbers
4. **Testing**: Test skills locally before publishing
5. **Documentation**: Include a README.md alongside skill.yaml
## Common Workflows
### Creating a Skill
```bash
mkdir my-new-skill && cd my-new-skill
skillpkg init --name my-new-skill
# Edit skill.yaml with your instructions
skillpkg sync --dry-run # Test locally
skillpkg sync # Sync to platforms
```
### Installing and Using a Skill
```bash
skillpkg search "what you need"
skillpkg info some-skill
skillpkg install some-skill
skillpkg sync
# Skill is now available in your AI platform!
```
### Importing Existing Claude Skills
```bash
skillpkg import .claude/skills/
skillpkg list
skillpkg export --all -f zip # Backup all skills
```
## Troubleshooting
- **Skill not syncing**: Check platform target directory permissions
- **Parse errors**: Validate YAML syntax, ensure schema is "1.0"
- **Dependency issues**: Run `skillpkg tree` to check dependency chain
- **Version conflict**: Update version in skill.yaml
