show-skills-meta
Use this skill when the user asks to classify skills, add Chinese descriptions, add notes, query skill metadata, or improve skill searchability in the Skills Explorer extension.
Data is stored outside original skill files:
~/.pi/show-skills/skill-meta.json
The real extension path may be user-level, project-level, npm, or git installed. Do not hardcode it. The extension writes a stable wrapper here:
~/.pi/show-skills/show-skills-meta.mjs
That wrapper forwards to the real extension CLI path recorded in:
~/.pi/show-skills/extension.json
Matching key is always the skill name, not file path.
Commands
Run from any working directory:
node ~/.pi/show-skills/show-skills-meta.mjs list
node ~/.pi/show-skills/show-skills-meta.mjs list --all
node ~/.pi/show-skills/show-skills-meta.mjs query <skill-name>
node ~/.pi/show-skills/show-skills-meta.mjs set <skill-name> --description "中文描述" --category "分类" --notes "备注"
Workflow
- Use
list --all to see discoverable skill names.
- Use
query <skill-name> before changing an entry.
- Use
set to add or update:
--description: custom display description, often Chinese translation.
