What it does

Manage Local Skills is an agent skill from TencentCloudBase/CloudBase-AI-Toolkit. Analyze, standardize, validate, and sync locally maintained skills into agent skill directories with a skills CLI-aligned workflow. Use this skill when Codex needs to turn ad-hoc prompt or rules folders into reusable SKILL.md-based skills, install or sync one or more local skills from ./skills into Claude, Cursor, CodeBuddy, Codex, or similar agent directories, or manage local skill path mappings and symlink or copy installation behavior.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 14 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/cli-alignment.md`, `references/install-workflow.md` and `references/mapping-extension.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Backend for AI coding agents on CloudBase — database, auth, functions via Plugin, Skills & MCP. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Codex needs to turn ad-hoc prompt
  • Rules folders into reusable SKILL.md-based skills
  • More local skills from ./skills into Claude
  • Similar agent directories

Example prompts

  • “/manage-local-skills”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify whether the user wants analysis only, migration, validation, mapping changes, or installation.
  2. If the source is not obviously standard, read references/source-classification.md and run scripts/inspect-source.mjs first.
  3. If migration is needed, read references/migration-playbook.md and convert the source into a standard skill folder before installation.
  4. Before mounting a skill, read references/cli-alignment.md and references/install-workflow.md to preserve the source-first install model…
  5. Use scripts/validate-skill.mjs before and after installation when structure or path correctness is in doubt.
  6. If the target agent is new or unclear, read references/mapping-extension.md before adding or changing mappings.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5360dde. 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 6 files in scripts/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Manage Local Skills loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 117 tokens; SKILL.md has 519 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~117
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.2k

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.

description
Analyze, standardize, validate, and sync locally maintained skills into agent skill directories with a `skills` CLI-aligned workflow. Use this skill when Codex needs to turn ad-hoc prompt or rules folders into reusable `SKILL.md`-based skills, install or sync one or more local skills from `./skills` into Claude, Cursor, CodeBuddy, Codex, or similar agent directories, or manage local skill path mappings and symlink or copy installation behavior.

Manage Local Skills

Manage locally maintained skills as reusable, standard skill assets.

What this skill does

Use this skill to:

  • classify local sources as standard skills, non-standard skill-like folders, or mixed repositories
  • convert non-standard local materials into a standard SKILL.md-based structure
  • validate standard skill structure before installation
  • sync one or more local skills into one or more agent skill directories
  • maintain explicit agent and IDE path mappings for local skill installation

Do not use this skill for

  • publishing remote skills registries or package indexes
  • cloning skills from remote repositories
  • interactive marketplace search
  • generic documentation cleanup unrelated to local skill structure

Workflow

  1. Identify whether the user wants analysis only, migration, validation, mapping changes, or installation.
  2. If the source is not obviously standard, read references/source-classification.md and run scripts/inspect-source.mjs first.
  3. If migration is needed, read references/migration-playbook.md and convert the source into a standard skill folder before installation.
  4. Before mounting a skill, read references/cli-alignment.md and references/install-workflow.md to preserve the source-first install model used in this repo.
  5. Use scripts/validate-skill.mjs before and after installation when structure or path correctness is in doubt.
  6. If the target agent is new or unclear, read references/mapping-extension.md before adding or changing mappings.

Common requests

  • "Install this local skill into Claude and Cursor."
  • "Sync everything under ./skills to Codex and CodeBuddy."
  • "Turn this prompts folder into a reusable skill."
  • "Link my local skills into the agent directories for this project."

Operating rules

  • Treat skills CLI installation semantics as the baseline, but follow this repo's source-first project install model for locally maintained skills.
  • Prefer analysis first when the source structure is ambiguous.
  • Do not execute arbitrary scripts from the source folder while inspecting it.
  • In symlink mode, keep skills/ as the single maintained source of truth and expose .agents entries as links instead of extra copies.
  • Prefer symlinks when supported and safe. Fall back to copy when the user requests it or symlinks fail.
  • Make scope explicit: project means the current workspace, global means the user-level agent directory.
  • Ask the user to confirm before writing files, replacing existing installs, changing mappings, or converting a non-standard source into a standard skill.
  • If the user asks to sync multiple skills or multiple agents, summarize the planned batch operation before execution and wait for confirmation.
  • Call out differences whenever the requested behavior cannot fully match skills CLI.

Quick commands

bash
node skills/manage-local-skills/scripts/inspect-source.mjs --input <path> --json
node skills/manage-local-skills/scripts/validate-skill.mjs --skill-dir <path>
node skills/manage-local-skills/scripts/install-skill.mjs --source-dir skills --skill <name> --agent cursor --scope project --mode symlink

Minimum self-check

  • Is the source clearly classified as standard, nonstandard, or mixed?
  • Is the target skill structure valid before installation?
  • If symlink mode was requested, does the installed .agents entry resolve back to the maintained source?
  • Is the selected agent mapping explicit and correct for the requested scope?
  • If symlink mode is used, is there a defined fallback to copy mode?
  • If behavior differs from skills CLI, did you state the difference clearly?
