# Skill Management

Use this skill when the user wants to customize Yolop with skills.

## Ground Rules

- Installed skills are directories with a `SKILL.md`.

- Workspace skills live under `.agents/skills/<name>/`.

- System skills are built into Yolop and are read-only.

- Workspace skills shadow global skills; global skills shadow system skills.

- New or changed workspace/global skills are available immediately through

`list_skills` and `activate_skill`; do not ask the user to restart Yolop.

## Inspect

1. Call `list_skills` to see installed skills and scopes.

2. Call `read_skill` before modifying an existing skill.

3. Prefer editing the nearest scope that matches the user's intent:

workspace/local for project-specific behavior, global for cross-project

behavior.

## Install Or Modify

Use `write_skill` with:

- `scope`: `workspace`/`local` or `global`

- `name`: the skill directory name

- `skill_md`: the full `SKILL.md` contents

- `files`: optional bundled files keyed by relative path

`write_skill` validates the skill name, parses `SKILL.md`, rejects path

traversal in bundled files, and writes the skill atomically.

## Import From npx-Style Sources

If the user mentions an `npx skill add ...` command, reconstruct the install

without requiring `npx` or the package:

1. Identify the package, registry, or repository that command would fetch.

2. Fetch the relevant `SKILL.md` and bundled files from the source.

3. Preserve the upstream skill directory name unless the user asks to rename it.

4. Install with `write_skill`.

5. Call `list_skills` afterward and report the installed scope/path.

If the source is ambiguous or private and cannot be fetched, ask for the exact

repository, package, archive, or file contents.

## Search

For public skills, search in this order:

1. Known registry or site named by the user, such as `skills.sh`.

2. GitHub repositories and paths containing `SKILL.md`.

3. General web search for the skill topic plus `SKILL.md`.

Prefer source URLs that expose the actual files. Do not install from a summary

page unless you can retrieve the real `SKILL.md` and any referenced files.

## Upgrade

For one skill:

1. `read_skill` to capture the current scope, path, and any local changes.

2. Fetch the current upstream version.

3. Compare with the installed version when practical.

4. Use `write_skill` to update the same scope.

5. `activate_skill` or `list_skills` to verify it loads.

For all skills:

1. `list_skills`.

2. Upgrade only skills with an identifiable upstream source or enough user

context to locate one.

3. Skip read-only system skills unless Yolop itself is being updated.

4. Report skipped skills with the reason, especially when no source is known.

Never silently overwrite a clearly user-customized skill with unrelated

registry content. If the intended upstream is uncertain, ask first.
