Agent Skills Manager

This skill manages the installation and distribution of local AI agent skills. It automatically detects installed IDEs (Trae, Antigravity) and links the skill source to them via a central hub (~/.agents/skills).

Usage

When you want to install a local skill directory:

# Execute using the path to the installed skill script
python3 <skill-install-path>/scripts/main.py install <path-to-skill-source>

# Example (if installed in .trae):
# python3 .trae/skills/agent-skills-manager/scripts/main.py install ./my-new-skill

Parameters

• path-to-skill-source: The absolute or relative path to the local directory containing the skill source code.

Behavior

1. Hub Linking: Links the source directory to ~/.agents/skills/<skill-name>.
2. IDE Detection: Scans for known IDE configuration directories (e.g., ~/.trae, ~/.gemini/antigravity).
3. Distribution: Creates symbolic links from the Hub to each detected IDE's skills directory.

⚠️ Important for AI Agents

Sandbox Restriction: This skill requires write permissions to the user's home directory (~/.agents). Most AI environments (like Trae/Antigravity) run in a secure sandbox that blocks these writes.

Protocol: If you are an AI Agent assisting a user:

1. DO NOT execute the install command directly if you suspect you are sandboxed.
2. INSTEAD, construct the correct command using absolute paths.
3. PRESENT the command to the user and ask them to run it in their local terminal (outside the IDE's AI chat).

Troubleshooting

• Ensure Python 3 is installed.
• On Windows, run the terminal as Administrator if symlink creation fails.
