Available operations
Search skills
Search the registry for skills matching a query:
bash .agents/skills/skills-manager/scripts/skills-manager.sh search <query> [agent_id]
query — keyword to search for (e.g. "seo", "pdf", "browser")agent_id — optional; agent whose workspace to run the search from (defaults to current agent via settings)
Install a skill
Install a skill from the registry to an agent's workspace:
bash .agents/skills/skills-manager/scripts/skills-manager.sh install <skill_ref> <agent_id>
skill_ref — skill reference from search results (e.g. "@anthropic/seo" or a GitHub URL)agent_id — the agent to install the skill to
List installed skills
List skills currently installed in an agent's workspace:
bash .agents/skills/skills-manager/scripts/skills-manager.sh list [agent_id]
If agent_id is omitted, lists skills for all agents.
Workflow
- Search the registry to find a skill:
skills-manager.sh search "image editing"
- Review the results — note the skill reference string
- Install it to the target agent:
skills-manager.sh install <ref> <agent_id>
- Verify with list:
skills-manager.sh list <agent_id>
Notes
- The TinyAGI API must be running (
tinyagi start) for search and install via API
- Search uses the
skills CLI under the hood (auto-installed via npx)
- Install places skills into the agent's
.agents/skills/ directory
- Installed skills are automatically available to the agent on its next invocation
