-## Your AI agent skills are a mess
+**agent-skill-manager** (`asm`) is a scriptable CLI built for AI agents and automation — install, search, audit, and organize skills across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and 16 more tools. Every command supports `--json` and `--yes` for non-interactive use. An optional TUI (`asm`) is available for local browsing.
 
-You use Claude Code at work, Codex for side projects, and OpenClaw for experiments. Each tool keeps skills in its own hidden directory with its own conventions. Here's what that looks like in practice:
+[**Get Started**](#getting-started) · [**Browse 4,300+ skills**](https://luongnv.com/asm/#/skills) · [**Full docs**](#documentation)
 
-- **Skills scattered everywhere** — `~/.claude/skills/`, `~/.codex/skills/`, `~/.openclaw/skills/`, project-level `.claude/skills/`... you have the same skill installed three times and can't remember which version is where
-- **No visibility** — there's no quick way to see what's installed, what's duplicated, or what's outdated across all your agents
-- **Installing is manual and risky** — you clone repos, copy folders, hope the SKILL.md is valid, and pray you didn't just install something that exfiltrates your codebase
+## Problems `asm` solves
 
-The more AI agents you use, the worse this gets. Every new tool adds another skill directory to babysit.
+| Pain                    | Without `asm`                                                                                                           | With `asm`                                                                 |

+| No inventory            | `ls` through hidden dirs; no idea what is installed, duplicated, or outdated                                            | `asm search`, `asm inspect`, `asm stats`, `asm audit`                      |
+| Risky manual installs   | Clone repos, copy folders, hope `SKILL.md` is valid                                                                     | `asm install` validates frontmatter, scans security, pins registry commits |

+| New agent, new chore    | Every tool adds another skill directory to track                                                                        | Add or disable providers in one config file                                |
 
-## `asm` brings order to the chaos
+## At a glance
 
-**agent-skill-manager** is a single command that manages skills across every AI coding agent you use. One TUI. One CLI. Every agent.
-
-- **See everything at once** — List, search, and filter skills across all providers and scopes from one dashboard. No more `ls`-ing through hidden directories.
-- **Install from GitHub in one command** — `asm install github:user/repo` handles cloning, validation, and placement. Supports single-skill repos, multi-skill collections, subfolder URLs, and private repos via SSH.
-- **Catch problems before they bite** — Built-in security scanning flags dangerous patterns (shell execution, network access, credential exposure, obfuscation) before you install. Duplicate audit finds and cleans redundant skills across providers.
-- **Create, test, and publish skills** — Scaffold new skills with `asm init`, symlink them for live development with `asm link`, audit for security issues, verify metadata, and publish to the [ASM Registry](https://github.com/luongnv89/asm-registry) with a single command. [See the full local dev workflow &darr;](#build-test-and-ship-your-own-skills)
-- **Works with every major agent** — 19 providers built-in: Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Roo Code, Continue, GitHub Copilot, Aider, OpenCode, Zed, Augment, Amp, Gemini CLI, Google Antigravity, Pi, Hermes, and a generic Agents provider. Add custom providers in seconds via config.
-- **Two interfaces, one tool** — Full interactive TUI with keyboard navigation, search, and detail views. Or use the CLI with `--json` for scripting and automation.

 ## How it works
 
-1. **Install `asm`** — one command via npm or curl
-2. **Run `asm`** — it auto-discovers skills across all configured agent directories
-3. **Manage everything** — install, search, inspect, audit, and uninstall skills from the TUI or CLI
-4. **Stay safe** — security scan skills before installing, detect duplicates, and clean up with confidence

-## Build, Test, and Ship Your Own Skills
+## Getting started
 
-`asm` isn't just for consuming skills — it's the complete toolkit for **creating, developing, auditing, and testing skills locally** before you share them.
+Install (npm):
 
-### 1. Scaffold a new skill
+```bash
+npm install -g agent-skill-manager
+```
 
-Interactive mode — pick a target tool:
+List installed skills (JSON for agents):
 
 ```bash
-asm init my-skill
+asm list --json
 ```
 
-Scaffold directly into Claude Code:
+Install a skill:
 
 ```bash
-asm init my-skill -p claude
+asm install github:anthropics/skills --yes
 ```
 
-Scaffold in a custom directory:
+Search installed and catalog skills:
 
 ```bash
-asm init my-skill --path ./skills
+asm search "code review" --json
 ```
 
-This creates a `my-skill/SKILL.md` with valid YAML frontmatter and a markdown template ready to fill in.
+Alternative install: `curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/luongnv89/agent-skill-manager/main/install.sh | bash`
 
-### 2. Develop with live reload via symlink
+Node.js 18+ required. Optional TUI: run `asm` with no arguments.
 
-`asm link` creates a symlink from your local skill directory into an agent's skill folder. Because it's a symlink, every edit you make to the source is immediately visible to the agent — no reinstall needed.
+## Common tasks
 
-#### Target a specific tool
+| Task                       | Command                                          |
+| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
+| Machine-readable inventory | `asm list --json`                                |
+| Skill metadata for agents  | `asm inspect my-skill --json`                    |
+| Non-interactive install    | `asm install code-review -p claude --yes --json` |
+| Remove duplicates          | `asm audit --yes`                                |
+| Scan before install        | `asm audit security github:user/repo`            |
+| Scaffold a new skill       | `asm init my-skill -p claude`                    |
+| Live dev via symlink       | `asm link ./my-skill -p claude`                  |
+| Publish to registry        | `asm publish ./my-skill --yes`                   |
+| Install a bundle           | `asm bundle install frontend-dev --yes`          |
 
-```bash
-# Link into Claude Code
-asm link ./my-skill -p claude
+Full command reference, flags, and examples: [CLI Commands](#cli-commands). Catalog UI and bundles: [luongnv.com/asm](https://luongnv.com/asm/).
 
-# Link into Codex
-asm link ./my-skill -p codex
+## FAQ
 
-# Interactive — pick the tool from a prompt
-asm link ./my-skill
-```
+**Is it free?**
+MIT licensed. No accounts or paywalls.
 
-#### Link multiple skills at once
+**Is this built for AI agents?**
+Yes. Commands return structured JSON (`--json`), accept non-interactive flags (`--yes`, `--machine`), and map to discrete actions an agent can chain — list inventory, search catalog, install, audit, uninstall.
 
-Pass several paths in a single command to link them all in one step:
+**Which agents are supported?**
+19 providers: Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Roo Code, Continue, GitHub Copilot, Aider, OpenCode, Zed, Augment, Amp, Gemini CLI, Google Antigravity, Pi, Hermes, and a generic Agents provider. Disable any via `asm config edit`.
 
-```bash
-asm link ./skill-a ./skill-b ./skill-c -p claude
-```
+**What about the TUI?**
+Run `asm` with no args for an optional local browser. The CLI is the primary interface for scripts, CI, and agent tool calls.
 
-You can also point at a folder that contains multiple skills (each in its own subdirectory with a `SKILL.md`):
+**Private repos?**
+`asm install github:user/repo --transport ssh --yes`
 
-```bash
-# Link every skill found inside ./my-skills-folder
-asm link ./my-skills-folder -p claude
-```
+**SKILL.md format?**
+A directory with `SKILL.md` (YAML frontmatter + markdown body). Run `asm init my-skill` to scaffold one.
 
-#### Override the symlink name
+## Get started
 
 ```bash
-asm link ./my-skill --name my-alias -p claude
+npm install -g agent-skill-manager
 ```
 
-#### Force-overwrite an existing symlink
-
 ```bash
-asm link ./my-skill -p claude --force
+asm list --json
 ```
 
-Edit the source files — changes are reflected immediately in the agent. This is the fastest iteration loop for skill development.

-### 3. Audit your skill for security issues
+---
 
-Audit an installed skill by name:
+<details>
+<summary><strong>Build, test, and ship skills</strong></summary>
+
+### Scaffold
 
 ```bash
-asm audit security my-skill
+asm init my-skill
 ```
 
-Audit a local directory:
-
 ```bash
-asm audit security ./path/to/my-skill
+asm init my-skill -p claude
 ```
 
-Audit every installed skill:
-
 ```bash
-asm audit security --all
+asm init my-skill --path ./skills
 ```
 
-The security scanner flags dangerous patterns — shell execution, network access, credential exposure, obfuscation, and external URLs — so you can catch problems before users install your skill.
-
-### 4. Inspect and verify metadata
-
-Check name, version, description, file count:
+### Develop with live reload
 
 ```bash
-asm inspect my-skill
+asm link ./my-skill -p claude
 ```
 
-Machine-readable output for CI:
-
 ```bash
-asm inspect my-skill --json
+asm link ./skill-a ./skill-b ./skill-c -p claude
 ```
 
-### 5. Test the install flow locally
-
-Once your skill is on GitHub, verify that end users can install it cleanly.
-
-Install your own skill as a user would:
-
 ```bash
-asm install github:you/awesome-skill
+asm link ./my-skills-folder -p claude
 ```
 
-Install to a specific tool:
-
 ```bash
-asm install github:you/awesome-skill -p claude
+asm link ./my-skill --name my-alias -p claude --force
 ```
 
-Install a specific skill from a multi-skill repo:
+### Audit and inspect
 
 ```bash
-asm install github:you/skills --path skills/awesome-skill
+asm audit security my-skill
 ```
 
-Force reinstall to test upgrades:
-
 ```bash
-asm install github:you/awesome-skill --force
+asm audit security ./path/to/my-skill
 ```
 
-Non-interactive install (useful for CI):
-
 ```bash
-asm install github:you/awesome-skill -p claude --yes --json
+asm audit security --all
 ```
 
-This catches issues that local development misses — broken repo structure, missing files, invalid frontmatter in a clean install context.
-
-### 6. Publish to the ASM Registry
-
-Once your skill is ready and on GitHub, submit it to the [ASM Registry](https://github.com/luongnv89/asm-registry) so anyone can install it by name:
+```bash
+asm inspect my-skill
+```
 
 ```bash
-asm publish ./my-skill
+asm inspect my-skill --json
 ```
 
-This runs a security audit, generates a signed manifest, forks the registry, and opens a pull request automatically. Once merged, your skill is globally discoverable:
+### Test install flow
 
 ```bash
-# Anyone can install it by name — no URL needed
-asm install my-skill
+asm install github:you/awesome-skill
 ```
 
-Preview what the manifest will look like before submitting:
-
 ```bash
-asm publish --dry-run ./my-skill
+asm install github:you/awesome-skill -p claude --force --yes --json
 ```
 
-Override security warnings (caution: review findings first):
+### Publish to ASM Registry
 
 ```bash
-asm publish --force ./my-skill
+asm publish ./my-skill
 ```
 
-Skip confirmation in CI:
-
 ```bash
-asm publish --yes ./my-skill
+asm publish --dry-run ./my-skill
 ```
 
-> **Requires:** [`gh` CLI](https://cli.github.com) authenticated with `gh auth login`. The publish command uses `gh` to fork the registry, create a branch, write the manifest, and open the PR — all without leaving your terminal.
+Requires [`gh` CLI](https://cli.github.com) authenticated with `gh auth login`.

-
-## Skill Verification
-
-Skills indexed by `asm` are automatically evaluated against a set of verification criteria. Skills that pass all criteria receive a **verified** badge in the catalog and `"verified": true` in the index JSON. Skills that fail any criterion are still indexed but marked as unverified.
-
-### Verification Criteria
-
-A skill must satisfy **all four** of the following to be verified:
-
-1. **Valid frontmatter** -- The SKILL.md file must contain YAML frontmatter with both a `name` and a `description` field. Empty or whitespace-only values fail this check.
+9. `asm install github:you/awesome-skill`
+10. `asm publish ./awesome-skill`
 
-2. **Meaningful body content** -- The markdown body (everything after the frontmatter block) must contain at least 20 characters of instruction text. A SKILL.md that is only frontmatter with no real guidance for the agent will fail.
+</details>
 
-3. **No malicious patterns** -- The full SKILL.md content is scanned for dangerous code patterns:
-   - `atob()` calls (runtime base64 decoding / obfuscation)
-   - Suspicious base64-encoded strings (40+ character base64 blocks with padding)
-   - Hex-escape sequences (4+ consecutive `\xNN` escapes)
-   - Hardcoded credentials (`API_KEY`, `SECRET_KEY`, or `PASSWORD` assignments)
+<details>
+<summary><strong>Skill verification and quality eval</strong></summary>
 
-4. **Proper structure** -- The skill directory must exist and contain a `SKILL.md` file that the ingestion pipeline can read.
+Indexed skills are evaluated automatically. Skills passing all criteria get a **verified** badge in the catalog.
 
-### How to Reproduce Locally
+**Verification criteria (all required):**
 
-You can verify your skill before publishing:
+1. Valid frontmatter with `name` and `description`
+2. Body content with at least 20 characters of instruction text
+3. No malicious patterns (`atob()`, suspicious base64, hex escapes, hardcoded credentials)
+4. Directory contains a readable `SKILL.md`
 
 ```bash
-# Index your repo -- verification runs automatically during ingestion
 asm index ingest github:your-user/your-repo
+```
 
-# Check the output JSON for the verified field
+```bash
 asm index search "your-skill" --json
 ```
 
-Each indexed skill in the output JSON includes `"verified": true` or `"verified": false`. If verification fails, the ingestion debug log (set `ASM_DEBUG=1`) prints the specific reasons.
-
-### Quality Evaluation (`asm eval`)
-
-Static verification tells you the SKILL.md is well-formed. `asm eval` goes further: the built-in `quality` provider runs a scored rubric over structure, frontmatter, clarity, prompt engineering, context efficiency, safety, testability, and naming — and emits per-category scores plus concrete suggestions for improvement. Zero setup, zero API keys, zero external binaries.
+**Quality scoring** (`asm eval`) runs a rubric over structure, clarity, safety, and naming:
 
 ```bash
-# Score the skill and print recommendations
 asm eval ./my-skill
+```
 
-# CI-friendly machine-readable output
+```bash
 asm eval ./my-skill --machine
+```
 
-# Apply deterministic auto-fixes to SKILL.md
+```bash
 asm eval ./my-skill --fix
+```
 
-# List registered eval providers
+```bash
 asm eval-providers list
 ```
 
-The eval surface is a pluggable provider framework: each provider implements a common `EvalProvider` contract and resolves via semver range. See [`docs/eval-providers.md`](./docs/eval-providers.md) for the provider model.
+See [`docs/eval-providers.md`](./docs/eval-providers.md) for the provider model.

-## ASM Registry — Install and Publish Skills by Name
+</details>
 
-The [ASM Registry](https://github.com/luongnv89/asm-registry) is the curated index of community-published skills. Once a skill is listed, anyone can install it by name — no GitHub URL needed.
+<details>
+<summary><strong>ASM Registry</strong></summary>
 
-### Install from the registry
+The [ASM Registry](https://github.com/luongnv89/asm-registry) lists community-published skills. Install by name — no GitHub URL needed.
 
 ```bash
-# Install by bare name (searches the registry)
 asm install code-review
-
-# Install by scoped name (author/skill — always unambiguous)
-asm install luongnv89/code-review
-
-# Force a fresh registry fetch (bypasses the 1-hour cache)
-asm install code-review --no-cache
 ```
 
-`asm install` resolves the name against the registry index, downloads the manifest, clones the exact pinned commit, and installs the skill to your agent.
-
-### Publish your skill to the registry
-
 ```bash
-asm publish ./my-skill
-```
-
-The publish pipeline:
-
-1. **Validates** your `SKILL.md` frontmatter (name, description, version)
-2. **Security audit** — blocks dangerous skills automatically; warns on risky patterns
-3. **Generates a manifest** with the current commit SHA and a `skill_path` for multi-skill repos
-4. **Opens a PR** against [luongnv89/asm-registry](https://github.com/luongnv89/asm-registry) via the `gh` CLI
-
-The registry CI validates schema, checks author identity, runs a duplicate check, typosquat detection, and an independent security scan before any maintainer reviews. Once merged, the index rebuilds automatically and your skill is live.
-
-| Flag        | Description                                |
-| ----------- | ------------------------------------------ |
-| `--dry-run` | Preview the manifest without creating a PR |
-| `--force`   | Override warning-level security findings   |
-| `--yes`     | Skip the confirmation prompt               |

-1. `asm` fetches the registry index (cached for 1 hour at `~/.config/agent-skill-manager/registry-cache.json`)
-2. Finds the manifest for `code-review` — including the pinned `commit` and `skill_path`
-3. Clones the repository at that exact commit and navigates to the skill subdirectory
-4. Installs as if you had run `asm install github:author/repo#commit:skill_path`
-
-If multiple authors publish a skill with the same name, `asm` shows a disambiguation prompt. Use a scoped name (`author/skill`) to skip it.

-### One-liner install
-
 ```bash
-curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/luongnv89/agent-skill-manager/main/install.sh | bash
+asm install code-review --no-cache
 ```
 
-This installs `agent-skill-manager` globally. Then just run:
-
 ```bash
-asm
+asm publish ./my-skill
 ```

-### Shadowed installs
-
-If you have multiple `asm` binaries on `PATH` (for example, a leftover install from an older package manager), shells resolve whichever appears first and a fresh upgrade can be silently shadowed.
-
-**Diagnose:** `asm --version` detects and warns when it sees multiple `asm` binaries on `PATH`. For a full report, run `asm doctor` — it lists the resolved path and any shadowed installs.
-
-**Fix:** remove the stale install with your package manager, then re-run `asm --version` to confirm only one binary is left.

-## FAQ
-
-**Is it free?**
-Yes. `asm` is MIT licensed and free forever. No accounts, no telemetry, no paywalls.
-
-**Is it actively maintained?**
-Yes — actively developed with frequent tagged releases (46 and counting, latest v2.11.0). Check the [changelog](docs/CHANGELOG.md) for the full history.
-
-**Which AI agents does it support?**
-19 providers built-in: Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Roo Code, Continue, GitHub Copilot, Aider, OpenCode, Zed, Augment, Amp, Gemini CLI, Google Antigravity, Pi, Hermes, and a generic Agents provider. All 19 are enabled by default; disable any you don't need via `asm config edit`. You can also add any custom agent that stores skills as directories with a `SKILL.md` file.
-
-**How does it compare to managing skills manually?**
-Manual management means remembering where each agent stores skills, cloning repos by hand, checking for duplicates yourself, and having no security scanning. `asm` automates all of that with one command.

-  <img src="assets/screenshots/asm-audit.png" alt="asm audit — duplicate detection across providers" width="700" />
-  <br/><em>asm audit — finds duplicate groups and tells you exactly which to keep</em>
-</p>
-
-**Can I use it with private repos?**
-Yes. Use `--transport ssh` or `--transport auto` to clone private repos via SSH.
-
-**Is it safe to install skills from GitHub?**
-`asm` includes built-in security scanning that flags dangerous patterns (shell execution, network access, credential exposure, obfuscation) before installation. Run `asm audit security github:user/repo` to scan any skill before installing.

-  <br/><em>asm audit security oss-ready — flags external URLs, shell execution, and credential access</em>
-</p>
+</details>
 
-**What's the SKILL.md format?**
-Every skill is a directory containing a `SKILL.md` file with YAML frontmatter (name, description, version) followed by markdown instructions the AI agent loads at runtime. Run `asm init my-skill` to scaffold one.

-A bundle is a JSON file with a `name`, `description`, `author`, and a list of `skills` (each with `name` + `installUrl`).

You can also assemble a custom bundle visually on the website's [/bundles](https://luongnv.com/asm/#/bundles) page and export it as JSON.

Use `asm bundle install ios-release` for a curated SwiftUI, concurrency, testing, persistence, Xcode build, App Store, and release-management starter set, or search the catalog for `swift`, `swiftui`, `swift testing`, `uikit`, `swiftdata`, or `app store connect` to install individual skills. Sources that are private, landing-page-only, or do not expose discoverable `SKILL.md` content are not added as enabled catalog entries.

-**Multi-skill repo support:** `asm` scans for skills in subdirectories (up to 5 levels deep). Repos with only nested skills use that scan by default. Repos with **both** a root `SKILL.md` and nested skills install the root skill by default; use `--all` to install every discovered skill (root plus nested). In interactive mode, discovery shows a numbered picker. Use `--path` to target a specific skill.
-
-**Indexing (`asm index ingest` / `npm run preindex`):** Discovery always includes a root `SKILL.md` when present **and** any nested skills in subdirectories, so curated indexes do not silently drop skills when a repo adds a root-level skill.
-
-The install command clones the repository, validates `SKILL.md` files, scans for security warnings, previews skill metadata, and installs to the selected provider's global skill directory. Requires `git` on PATH.
+Multi-skill repos: scans up to 5 levels deep. Root `SKILL.md` installs by default; use `--all` for every skill. Requires `git` on PATH.
