skill-managerManage skills: create, install, modify, or delete skills. An agent skill from AFK-surf/OpenBridge.
Skill Manager is an agent skill from AFK-surf/OpenBridge. Manage skills: create, install, modify, or delete skills. Trigger when user asks to: "create a skill", "save this as a skill", "install this skill" (from URL/link), "edit/modify a skill", "delete a skill". User skills live under ~/.openbridge/skills/.
Its SKILL.md is about 750 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/create-from-conversation.md`, `references/install-from-npx-skills.md` and `references/install-from-url.md`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Skill management and Skill authoring. The repository describes itself as: A free, safe and open agent for everything. Alternative to Claude Cowork & Codex. Open Bridge, the AI bridge between your intention and get the job done. The licence is MIT.
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a9ca905. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npxFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Skill Manager loads about 749 tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 293 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

.claude/skills/skill-manager/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 6 other files; get the full folder from GitHub.This skill provides guidance for all skill-related operations: creating, installing, modifying, and deleting skills.
Skills are modular, self-contained packages that extend the agent by providing specialized workflows and bundled resources. Think of them as an "onboarding guide" for a specific task category.
User skills live under ~/.openbridge/skills/:
| Directory | Purpose |
|---|---|
custom/ | User-created skills |
imported/ | Skills imported from the OpenBridge skill library |
Synced local skills may also appear through configured sync folders. Those stay at their original locations and are not installed into ~/.openbridge/skills/.
IMPORTANT: When creating or installing managed local skills, always use ~/.openbridge/skills/custom/<skill-slug>/ unless the flow explicitly targets imported/.
When the user provides a URL to a skill (e.g., https://example.com/dot_claude/skills/xxx/SKILL.md) and asks to "install this skill".

When the user asks to modify, edit, or update an existing skill:
~/.openbridge/skills/ (check custom/ and imported/) or in a configured sync folderNote: System skills are read-only. To customize behavior, create a new skill under ~/.openbridge/skills/custom/.
When the user asks to delete or remove a skill:
~/.openbridge/skills/custom/ or ~/.openbridge/skills/imported/ skills can be deletedrm -rf ~/.openbridge/skills/custom/<skill-slug>/Cannot delete: system skills, synced skills (manage at original location)

Manage skills: create, install, modify, or delete skills. An agent skill from AFK-surf/OpenBridge. Skill Manager is an agent skill from AFK-surf/OpenBridge. Manage skills: create, install, modify, or delete skills.
Skill Manager fits situations like: user asks to: create a skill; save this as a skill; install this skill (from URL/link); edit/modify a skill.
Run `npx skills add AFK-surf/OpenBridge --skill skill-manager -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (macos/OpenBridge/Resources/SystemSkills.bundle/skill-manager in AFK-surf/OpenBridge) into .claude/skills/skill-manager in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add AFK-surf/OpenBridge --skill skill-manager -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (macos/OpenBridge/Resources/SystemSkills.bundle/skill-manager in AFK-surf/OpenBridge) into .agents/skills/skill-manager in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add AFK-surf/OpenBridge --skill skill-manager -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/skill-manager, .gemini/skills/skill-manager, .github/skills/skill-manager and .opencode/skills/skill-manager in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Skill Manager needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (npx). Our summary lists: Python 3; Node.js.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Skill Manager is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 749 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 4k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Skill Manager: Darwin Skill Optimizer (alchaincyf/darwin-skill, 6.2k stars), Skill Creator (zhayujie/CowAgent, 47k stars), Open-Science Skill Creator (aipoch/open-science, 5.5k stars) and Skill Quality Reviewer (Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar, 5.7k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
