What it does
Skills Manager is an agent skill from TinyAGI/tinyagi. Search for and install skills from the skills registry to agent workspaces. Use when the agent needs to: find available skills, search for skills by keyword, install a skill to a specific agent's workspace, list skills installed on an agent, or manage skill availability across agents. Triggers: 'search skills', 'find a skill', 'install skill', 'add skill to agent', 'what skills are available', 'skill registry', 'browse skills'.
Its SKILL.md is about 530 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/skills-manager.sh`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Skill management. The repository describes itself as: TinyAGI is the agent teams orchestrator for One Person Company. (fka TinyClaw). The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The agent needs to: find available skills
- Search for skills by keyword
- Install a skill to a specific agents workspace
- List skills installed on an agent
Example prompts
- “search skills”
- “find a skill”
- “install skill”
- “/skills-manager”
Requirements
- A Bash shell
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Search the registry to find a skill: skills-manager.sh search "image editing"
- Review the results — note the skill reference string
- Install it to the target agent: skills-manager.sh install
- Verify with list: skills-manager.sh list
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2db3a03. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
bash
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
Skills Manager loads about 528 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 112 tokens; SKILL.md has 188 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 Manager
Search the skills registry and install skills to agent workspaces.
Available operations
Search skills
Search the registry for skills matching a query:
bash .agents/skills/skills-manager/scripts/skills-manager.sh search <query> [agent_id]query— keyword to search for (e.g. "seo", "pdf", "browser")agent_id— optional; agent whose workspace to run the search from (defaults to current agent via settings)
Install a skill
Install a skill from the registry to an agent's workspace:
bash .agents/skills/skills-manager/scripts/skills-manager.sh install <skill_ref> <agent_id>skill_ref— skill reference from search results (e.g. "@anthropic/seo" or a GitHub URL)agent_id— the agent to install the skill to
List installed skills
List skills currently installed in an agent's workspace:
bash .agents/skills/skills-manager/scripts/skills-manager.sh list [agent_id]If agent_id is omitted, lists skills for all agents.
Workflow
- Search the registry to find a skill:
skills-manager.sh search "image editing" - Review the results — note the skill reference string
- Install it to the target agent:
skills-manager.sh install <ref> <agent_id> - Verify with list:
skills-manager.sh list <agent_id>
Notes
- The TinyAGI API must be running (
tinyagi start) for search and install via API - Search uses the
skillsCLI under the hood (auto-installed via npx) - Install places skills into the agent's
.agents/skills/directory - Installed skills are automatically available to the agent on its next invocation
