+ - **๐Ÿค– Your agents run it.** One small skill teaches Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Zed and Grok to use the skilllib CLI. Ask them what's loaded here, what to add, what's out of date, or to move a global skill into the repos that use it. Every command has `--json` output shaped for agents, and they ask before changing anything.
46
49
  - **๐Ÿ“š Your skills: one versioned library.** Every skill has a single master copy in `~/.skilllib/library`, and each change becomes a new version.

  - **๐Ÿ“ฆ Per-repo installs, pinned like dependencies.** Each repo lists its skills and versions in `skilllib.json`. `sync` reproduces them exactly, and `update` moves to the newest.

51
  - **๐Ÿค One copy, every agent.** skilllib puts one real copy in the repo and links it into whichever folders your other agents read.
49
- - **๐Ÿงน Health: one list of what to fix.** Global skills you haven't decided about, skills loaded twice, duplicate copies, updates, broken links, each with its fix. For a global skill: move it to the repos that need it, keep it global, or delete it. Usage numbers and descriptions help you decide.

100
+ `skilllib agent-skill install` puts a small `skilllib` skill in `~/.claude/skills` (Claude Code, Cursor and Grok read it there), with a link in `~/.agents/skills` (Codex and Zed). This is the one skill that should be global, because it's about every repo. Upgrading skilllib keeps it up to date, and `skilllib agent-skill remove` takes it out. Agents use it from their next session.
101
+
102
+ Then ask in plain words. A few examples, with what the agent runs:
103
+
104
+ | Ask | The agent runs |
105
+ |---|---|
106
+ | *Which skills can you use here, and where does each come from?* | `status --json`, which Claude Code gets as the skill loads, so it answers in one step |
107
+ | *Which of my skills should this repo use?* | `list --json`, then reads the README and manifests, and gives a reason for each pick |
108
+ | *Which skills do I use most? Which ones never?* | `usage --json` (Claude Code usage only, so "never" is a hint) |
109
+ | *Move my global skills into the repos that actually use them.* | `usage --json` to see where each is used, then `global move <name> --to <repo>`, or `global keep <name>` for the ones you want everywhere |
110
+ | *Is anything broken or out of date? Fix it.* | `status --json` or `doctor --json`, then `doctor --fix` for the safe repairs and `apply <id> <choice>` for each decision you approve |
111
+ | *Add the skill from github.com/acme/skills to my library.* | Clones the repo into a temporary folder, then `import <dir>` and `add <name>`. skilllib itself downloads nothing |
112
+
113
+ The agent asks before it changes anything, unless you asked for that exact change. Anything skilllib removes can be restored: see [Backups](#backups).

  The same skill often reaches your agents more than once: a copy in `.claude/skills` *and* in `.agents/skills`, a global copy *and* a repo copy, a plugin *and* your skill. skilllib keeps **one real copy per skill, plus only the links your agents need**. **Health** lists each case on the skill it's about, with its fix. From the command line, `skilllib doctor` lists them and `skilllib tidy` fixes the folder ones.
