manage-skills

Manage the user's shared agent-skill library via skills-manager-cli — install, update, remove, deploy or undeploy skills per agent, manage presets, organize tags, search, and adopt existing skills. Use this whenever the user wants Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or another agent to gain or lose a skill, wants to organize the central library, or asks what is installed or deployed. Prefer this over direct agent-folder installs because Skills Manager preserves source metadata, preset membership, updates, and cross-agent deployment state.

Quality

Content

85%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A dense, highly actionable CLI skill: copy-paste-ready commands throughout, strong safety validation and feedback loops around destructive and batch operations, and almost no filler. Its one structural weakness is that the whole command reference lives inline in SKILL.md with no bundle files, so the context cost is paid on every invocation.

Suggestions

Split low-frequency command detail (tags, presets, adopt/set-source variants, legacy sync) into references/ files (e.g. references/presets.md, references/sources.md), keeping SKILL.md to the CLI resolution step, mental model, and the common install/deploy/remove workflows.

Trim the safety prose in 'Before doing anything' and the set-source --force section to their operative instructions — the behavior rules are essential but several sentences explain the same refusal twice.

Deduplicate the --agent-required rule and the pitfalls that restate guidance already given in their command sections, keeping the Pitfalls section for cross-cutting failure modes only.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Command blocks dominate and nearly all prose conveys CLI semantics Claude cannot know (BRIDGE_BROKEN resolution, held_back_removals, --force semantics), so it is well past anchor 3. It falls just short of anchor 5 because a few passages are discursive beyond necessity — e.g. "that binary may predate a safety fix, and the machine has a desktop app whose version nothing here can match" — and the --agent-required and pitfalls points are each restated more than once.

4 / 5

Actionability

Every section gives copy-paste-ready commands ("$SM" skills install https://github.com/foo/bar/tree/main/skills/baz, the full CLI-resolution script, exact JSON error shapes), and the $SM placeholder is handled with an executable resolution step plus an explicit warning not to carry it across shells. Concrete examples cover the common cases.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

"Typical workflows" sequences steps with explicit validation checkpoints ("Always verify after install" via skills status, --dry-run previews before batch operations, check before update), and destructive operations get real feedback loops (held-back paths shown and escalated to the user, TARGET_CONFLICT paths reported, never auto-confirm removes). The destructive/batch validation cap does not bite — validation is thorough.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The body is well-structured with clear section headers, but there are no bundle files at all and the entire CLI reference (~350 lines: ref-resolution rules, adopt, set-source, tags, presets, legacy sync, pitfalls) is inlined in SKILL.md. That matches anchor 3 — good structure, but content that clearly belongs in separate reference files is inline — rather than anchor 2 (structure itself is good, not minimal) or anchor 4 (a reference this size should be split out).

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

An exemplary description: comprehensive concrete actions, explicit 'use when' triggers with natural user phrasing including synonyms, third-person voice, and a distinctness rule that prevents mis-triggering. Both 'what' and 'when' are answered at the level of the rubric's best examples.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

"install, update, remove, deploy or undeploy skills per agent, manage presets, organize tags, search, and adopt existing skills" lists seven-plus concrete actions covering every capability domain of the CLI, matching the comprehensive-coverage anchor rather than the minor-gaps one. Third-person voice ("Manage") throughout, so no voice penalty applies.

5 / 5

Completeness

The 'what' is explicit and exhaustive (named tool plus full verb list) and the 'when' is an explicit "Use this whenever the user wants… to gain or lose a skill, wants to organize the central library, or asks what is installed or deployed" with concrete trigger scenarios, structurally matching the anchor-5 example.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Natural user phrasings are well covered: agent names ("Claude Code, Codex, Cursor"), "gain or lose a skill" as a synonym-catcher for add/remove, "organize the central library", and "asks what is installed or deployed". It fits the comprehensive anchor better than anchor 4 because synonyms for the core verbs are present and file extensions are not applicable to this domain.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear niche (shared agent-skill library management via a named CLI) with distinct triggers, plus a routing rule ("Prefer this over direct agent-folder installs") that separates it from generic skill-installation help. Overlap risk with neighboring skills is minimal.
