sl (skill-loop)
Route the user's request to the skill_loop MCP tool. This skill is a convenience wrapper -- all actions are handled by the MCP server.
Usage
/sl <action> where action is one of:
| Action | What it does |
|---|
scan | Scan for SKILL.md files and register them |
status | Health dashboard: skill count, runs, failure rate |
review | Analyze all skills for failure patterns and staleness |
fix | Propose amendments for broken skills (creates a git branch) |
fix --dry-run | Preview fixes without modifying anything |
list | Show all registered skills with metadata |
runs | Show recent skill run activity |
history | List past amendments and their status |
detection | Show detection stats and active sessions |
gc | Prune old run data |
How to handle
- Parse the action from the user's input (everything after
/sl)
- Call the
skill_loop MCP tool with action set to the parsed action
- Present the results to the user
If no action is provided, default to status.
If the MCP server is not connected, tell the user to add this to their .mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"skill-loop": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "-p", "@stylusnexus/skill-loop-cli", "skill-loop-mcp"]
}
}
}
Note: npx-based MCPs may fail handshake in some envs (see startup diagnostics). Alternatives or local installs can be configured in .mcp.json. After editing MCP config, restart the Grok session/TUI.
CLI vs MCP: There is no in-repo skill-loop binary. The CLI ships as
@stylusnexus/skill-loop-cli (repo pins @0.3.3 in .mcp.json). Bare
skill-loop on PATH is optional — use
npx -y -p @stylusnexus/skill-loop-cli@0.3.3 skill-loop <cmd> or
npm i -g @stylusnexus/skill-loop-cli@0.3.3. CLI subcommands differ from the
MCP /sl actions above: rescan is init (not scan); analysis is inspect;
logging is skill-loop log <skill-name> <outcome>.
Maintenance
During 2026-07-06 "do all" / hygiene pass, used skill-loop MCP directly for review + amend + apply_fixes on registered skills (fixed broken file refs in sl and abbey-assistant). Full-check now passes (45/45). Added cross-refs in other skills. Re-scan after adding new SKILL.md. See ~/CLEANUP-2026-07-06.md.
