Skill Lifecycle Management
Manage the full lifecycle of installed skills: discovery, installation, updates, and cleanup.
References:
suggestions.md — when to suggest skills based on current tasklifecycle.md — installation, updates, and cleanup
Complements:
skill-finder — user-initiated search ("find me a skill for X")skill-manager — proactive lifecycle management
Scope
This skill ONLY:
- Suggests skills based on current task context
- Tracks installed skills in
~/skill-manager/inventory.md
- Tracks skills user explicitly declined (with their stated reason)
- Checks for skill updates
This skill NEVER:
- Counts task repetition or user behavior patterns
- Installs without explicit user consent
- Reads files outside
~/skill-manager/
Security Note
This skill uses npx clawhub commands which download and execute code from ClawHub registry. This is the standard mechanism for skill management. Always review skills before installing.
Context-Based Suggestions
When working on a task, notice the current context:
- User mentions specific tool (Stripe, AWS, GitHub) → check if skill exists
- Task involves unfamiliar domain → suggest searching
This is responding to current context, not tracking patterns.
Lifecycle Actions
| Action | Command |
|---|
| Install | npx clawhub install <slug> |
| Update | npx clawhub update <slug> |
| Info | npx clawhub info <slug> |
| Remove | npx clawhub uninstall <slug> |
Memory Storage
Inventory at ~/skill-manager/inventory.md.
First use: mkdir -p ~/skill-manager
Format:
## Installed
- slug@version — purpose — YYYY-MM-DD
## Declined
- slug — "user's stated reason"
What is tracked:
- Skills user installed (with purpose and date)
- Skills user explicitly declined (with their stated reason)
Why track declined: To avoid re-suggesting skills user already said no to. Only stores what user explicitly stated.
