Manage coding-agent skills and observe agent behavior through the Go `vd` CLI. Use when the user asks to vendor/sync/build skills across Claude Code and Codex, inspect agent sessions, tokens, or API-equivalent cost, find which skills or tools are erroring, or run the self-heal loop over `vd obs health --json` to diagnose and fix a failing skill from evidence. The repo's skill-catalog lifecycle wrapper is vd:skill-management.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# vd-cli `vd` is a single-binary vendoring package manager for coding-agent skills plus a local observability suite over the transcripts Claude Code and Codex already write. One manifest (`skills.toml`), one lock, one build for every agent target - and `vd obs` turns the local session logs into sessions, cost, per-skill health, and ranked error clusters. Observability is **read-only**: it never touches agent-owned files, and its cache (`~/.vd/obs/obs.sqlite`) is derived - safe to delete, rebuilt on next run. Check availability: `vd --version` (install: `brew install vanducng/tap/vd` or `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vanducng/vd-cli/main/install.sh | sh`; upgrade: `vd upgrade`). ## Skill management (the vendoring core) ```sh vd init # bootstrap skills.toml at the repo root vd add <source>/<path> --as name # track an upstream skill vd sync [skill...] # vendor + lock (SHA-pinned); runs vd build vd update [skill...] # bump tracked skills to upstream HEAD vd build [target...] # targets: claude, agents, droid, pi …

How to install
mdr add vanducng/skills/vd-cli@sha256:9f89046626b6fa50The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.2.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
