What it does

Dotagents is an agent skill from getsentry/dotagents, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Manage dotagents dependencies and runtime config. Use when asked to "add a skill", "install skills", "remove a skill", "configure plugins", "configure subagents", "dotagents init", "agents.toml", "agents.lock", "sync skills", "list skills", "set up dotagents", "configure trust", "add MCP server", "add hook", "wildcard skills", "global scope", "project scope", "dotagents doctor", or any dotagents-related task.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 16 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/cases/add-plugins-through-dotagents.yaml`, `evals/cases/add-skills-through-dotagents.yaml` and `evals/cases/choose-management-scope.yaml`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Skill management and Subagents. It works with Model Context Protocol. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 75a89fd. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
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.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- npx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- github.com
- git.corp.dev
- cli.sentry.dev
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Dotagents loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 690 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~106
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~8.6k

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

name: dotagents
description: Manage dotagents dependencies and runtime config. Use when asked to "add a skill", "install skills", "remove a skill", "configure plugins", "configure subagents", "dotagents init", "agents.toml", "agents.lock", "sync skills", "list skills", "set up dotagents", "configure trust", "add MCP server", "add hook", "wildcard skills", "global scope", "project scope", "dotagents doctor", or any dotagents-related task.
spec_hash: 98920b9b8a05

Manage dependencies declared in agents.toml. dotagents resolves skills, subagents, plugins, MCP servers, and hooks so agent tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Grok, VS Code, OpenCode, Pi) can use shared global or project config.

Running dotagents

Always use npx @sentry/dotagents to run commands. Unqualified commands are global by default. Add --project whenever the user asks to manage the current repository. Do not infer project intent merely because the current directory contains agents.toml.

Apply this literally: “add this skill” with no repository-local wording means npx @sentry/dotagents add ..., even inside a repository that has agents.toml. “Add this skill to this repository/project” means npx @sentry/dotagents --project add ....

Global add bootstraps ~/.agents/agents.toml when it is missing. Do not run a separate global init or install before or after add unless the user independently requested it.

References

Read the relevant reference when the task requires deeper detail:

Document	Read When
references/cli-reference.md	Full command options, flags, examples
references/configuration.md	Editing agents.toml, source formats, trust, MCP, hooks, wildcards, scopes
references/config-schema.md	Exact field names, types, and defaults

Quick Start

bash

# Initialize global state (interactive TUI)
npx @sentry/dotagents init

# Add a skill from GitHub
npx @sentry/dotagents add getsentry/skills find-bugs

# Add multiple skills at once
npx @sentry/dotagents add getsentry/skills find-bugs code-review commit

# Add all skills from a repo
npx @sentry/dotagents add getsentry/skills --all

# Add a plugin
npx @sentry/dotagents add getsentry/agent-plugins review-tools

# Add a pinned skill
npx @sentry/dotagents add getsentry/warden@v1.0.0

# Install or refresh all dependencies from agents.toml
npx @sentry/dotagents install

# List installed skills
npx @sentry/dotagents list

For repository-local management, keep --project on every command:

bash

npx @sentry/dotagents --project init
npx @sentry/dotagents --project add getsentry/skills find-bugs
npx @sentry/dotagents --project install
npx @sentry/dotagents --project list
npx @sentry/dotagents --project doctor --fix

Commands

Command	Description
`npx @sentry/dotagents init`	Initialize global config and managed directories
`npx @sentry/dotagents install`	Install all dependencies from `agents.toml`
`npx @sentry/dotagents add <specifier> [names...]`	Discover and add plugins, otherwise skills
`npx @sentry/dotagents remove <name>`	Remove a skill or plugin
`npx @sentry/dotagents sync`	Reconcile state (adopt orphans, prune stale managed artifacts, repair configs)
`npx @sentry/dotagents list`	Show declared skills, plugins, and status
`npx @sentry/dotagents mcp`	Add, remove, or list MCP server declarations
`npx @sentry/dotagents trust`	Add, remove, or list trusted sources
`npx @sentry/dotagents doctor`	Check global health and fix issues

All commands default to global scope (~/.agents/). --project selects the current repository (or current directory outside Git). --global is an explicit global spelling, and --user is its compatibility alias. Never combine --project with a global alias.

Adding Plugins

Use the same add command for plugins. Git and local sources are checked for plugins first; when any plugin is found, that source is treated as plugin-only. Well-known HTTPS sources remain skill-only.

bash

# Add a plugin to this repository
npx @sentry/dotagents --project add getsentry/agent-plugins review-tools

add installs immediately, so do not follow it with a redundant install. For plugins, --all records a snapshot of every plugin currently found. For skills, --all creates a wildcard that can include future skills. Re-adding an identical declaration refreshes its installation without changing agents.toml; conflicting declarations still fail.

For full options and flags, read references/cli-reference.md.

Safe Removal and Trust

Use remove instead of manually deleting managed files or editing agents.lock. For a project dependency, keep explicit scope: npx @sentry/dotagents --project remove <name>. When a wildcard provides the skill, let remove add the name to the wildcard's exclude list so the next install does not restore it.

When trust blocks a source, inspect syntax without mutation using npx @sentry/dotagents trust add --help. Then show the exact scoped command, such as npx @sentry/dotagents trust add git.corp.example.com, and explicitly ask approval before running it. Never enable allow_all or add a trusted source without explicit user intent.

Source Formats

Format	Example	Description
GitHub shorthand	`getsentry/skills`	Owner/repo (resolves to GitHub HTTPS)
GitHub pinned	`getsentry/warden@v1.0.0`	With tag, branch, or commit
GitHub SSH	`git@github.com:owner/repo.git`	SSH clone URL
GitHub HTTPS	`https://github.com/owner/repo`	Full HTTPS URL
Git URL	`git:https://git.corp.dev/team/skills`	Any non-GitHub git remote
Well-known HTTPS	`https://cli.sentry.dev`	HTTP source using `.well-known/skills/`
Local path	`path:./my-skills/custom`	Relative to the selected scope root

Key Concepts

Managed paths live under ~/.agents/ globally or .agents/ in project scope
agents.toml declares dependencies; agents.lock tracks managed skills, subagents, and plugins
Symlinks: agent skill directories point to the selected scope's managed skills directory
Wildcards: name = "*" installs all skills from a source, with optional exclude list
Trust: Optional [trust] section restricts which sources are allowed
Hooks: [[hooks]] declarations write tool-event hooks to each agent's config
Subagents: [[subagents]] declarations install portable or native subagent files
Plugins: [[plugins]] declarations install canonical bundles and generate runtime-specific plugin outputs
Gitignore: In project scope, managed skills, subagents, and plugin bundles are gitignored; custom in-place sources are tracked
Global scope: the default; manages dependencies in ~/.agents/ shared across projects, including plugins
Project scope: --project manages repository-local agents.toml, agents.lock, and .agents/
Updates: Run npx @sentry/dotagents install to refresh managed skills, subagents, and plugins; there is no update command
