skill-store

name	skill-store
version	1
description	On-demand skill loading from a local skill registry. Trigger on: "skill store", "load skill", "find a skill", "list skills", "import skill", "skill-store", "browse skills", "search skills", or any request to fetch a skill that is NOT currently loaded in the active context. This skill is NOT for managing the already-loaded skills in your prompt. It is for accessing the much larger skill storage (~100s to 1000s) that you only bring into context when you need them. Think of it as a lazy loader: the skills here stay on disk until you explicitly call for them via CLI.

Skill Store

Your active context holds ~10 skills. The skill store holds everything else.

Use this CLI to browse, search, and pull skills on demand from ~/.skill-store/ — without polluting your context window.

Quick Start

skill-store list          # what's available (not what's loaded)
skill-store search web    # find by keyword
skill-store load <slug>   # read a skill into context

Commands

Command	What it does
list	Paginated list (pinned first). --json for machine output
search <query>	Full-text search names + descriptions
load <slug>	Print path, SKILL.md path, tree. --json for machine output
preview <slug>	Print first 100 lines of SKILL.md
pin <slug> / unpin <slug>	Move to top / back to alphabetical
