Skills Manager
Vesta's skills come from a registry on GitHub (agent/skills/).
Search the registry
~/agent/skills/skills-registry/scripts/skills-search
~/agent/skills/skills-registry/scripts/skills-search email
Install a skill
~/agent/skills/skills-registry/scripts/skills-install <name>
After installing, restart yourself with the restart_vesta tool to load the new skill into context.
Check what's installed
ls ~/agent/skills/
Installing or updating a skill's CLI
Many skills ship a command line tool in cli/. Install it, or reinstall it after
you edit it, as an editable uv tool. That links the command to its source, so
your edits and upstream updates take effect on the command's next run:
uv tool install --editable ~/agent/skills/<name>/cli
Never install a skill's CLI with uv pip install -e or pip install -e. Run from
~/agent those resolve the engine venv, dropping the skill's command into
~/agent/.venv/bin, which leads your PATH and shadows the real tool: the command
and its daemon then break with an import error. uv tool install keeps the CLI
isolated and on ~/.local/bin, so use it every time.
Notes
- Skills are installed via git sparse checkout from the upstream repo
- Installed skills receive updates automatically during upstream sync
- Core skills ship pre-installed; optional skills are checked out on demand
- After installing a skill that requires setup, read its
SETUP.md
