Skills

Agent Skills Management

Manage agent skills using the npx skills CLI from vercel-labs/agent-skills.

Commands Overview

| Command | Purpose | |---------|---------| | npx -y skills add | Install skills from repository | | npx -y skills remove [names] | Remove installed skills | | npx -y skills list | List installed skills | | npx -y skills find [query] | Search for skills interactively | | npx -y skills update | Update all skills to latest | | npx -y skills check | Check for available updates | | npx -y skills init [name] | Initialize a new skill |

> Note: The npx -y flag is for npx itself (auto-install the skills package). The -y flag on skills add/remove commands skips confirmation prompts — omit it in interactive contexts to let the user confirm before changes.
