manage-skills SKILL.md skillA
This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.
manage-skills from xingkongliang/skills-manager is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add xingkongliang/skills-manager/manage-skills@git:20261021.b25f68aPins git:20261021.b25f68a in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Manage the user's shared agent-skill library via skills-manager-cli — install, update, remove, deploy or undeploy skills per agent, manage presets, organize tags, search, and adopt existing skills. Use this whenever the user wants Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or another agent to gain or lose a skill, wants to organize the central library, or asks what is installed or deployed. Prefer this over direct agent-folder installs because Skills Manager preserves source metadata, preset membership…
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
## Before doing anything
1. **Resolve the CLI first, then use the path it prints.** Run this once (POSIX
shell):
```bash
D="$HOME/.skills-manager/bin"
B="$D/skills-manager-cli"; [ -e "$B" ] || B="$B.exe" # .exe on Windows
if [ -s "$D/.version" ] && [ -x "$B" ]; then
echo "$B"
elif [ -s "$D/.version" ] || [ -e "$B" ]; then
echo BRIDGE_BROKEN
else
P="$(command -v skills-manager-cli 2>/dev/null || true)"
[ -x "$P" ] && echo "$P"
fi
```
**Substitute the printed path into every command below**, wherever the
examples write `$SM`. Do not carry `$SM` as a shell variable: each command
you run is a new shell, so an assignment made here is gone by the next one.
The three outcomes:
- **A path under `~/.skills-manager/bin`** — the desktop app published this
copy, and the `.version` stamp appears only after it has been verified, so
it always matches the app the user is running. Use it.
- **`BRIDGE_BROKEN`** — something the app left behind is here but does not
add up: an unstamped binary, or a stamp with no binary beside it. Either is
what a copy that failed half-way leaves. **Stop.** Do not go looking

How to install
mdr add xingkongliang/skills-manager/manage-skills@sha256:5b991143dfed26d9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.b25f68a, 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.
