A skill your agent uses when retrieving the most relevant skills from a local or private skill library instead of relying on network-based skill discovery.

What it does
Skills Vote Local is an agent skill from MemTensor/skills-vote. Use when retrieving the most relevant skills from a local or private skill library instead of relying on network-based skill discovery.
Its SKILL.md is about 370 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 16 other files, including scripts (for example `docs/config-schema.md`, `docs/handoff.md` and `scripts/check_env.py`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Skill management. The repository describes itself as: SkillsVote: Lifecycle Governance of Agent Skills from Collection, Recommendation to Evolution. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Retrieving the most relevant skills from a local
- Private skill library instead of relying on network-based skill discovery
Example prompts
- “/skills-vote-local”
Requirements
- Python 3
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 55ea783. 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
Ships 10 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
uv
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Skills Vote Local loads about 372 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 176 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.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Skills Vote Local
Read only this file first. Do not read scripts/, docs/, or any other files in this skill unless this file or a script output explicitly tells you to do so.
Use this skill when the current task needs skill discovery from a local or private skill library instead of a network service.
All paths mentioned in this file are relative to this skill root. cd to this root directory before running any command here.
Run:
uv run -qq scripts/route_prompt.py --role mainThen follow the rendered stdout exactly.
If routing.mode selects a subagent route, the user configuration explicitly requests subagent-based skill lookup. The main agent should use subagent delegation when the current host/tooling permits it.
Do not use fallback merely because the current user message did not repeat "use subagent".
If the current host, tool policy, runtime, or authorization model cannot create a subagent in this turn, run:
uv run -qq scripts/route_prompt.py --role main --fallbackThen follow the fallback stdout exactly.
If you are a subagent and you read this file directly, do not run this command with --role main. Run:
uv run -qq scripts/route_prompt.py --role subagentThen follow the rendered stdout exactly.
