What it does

Skill Flow is an agent skill from VintLin/skill-flow. Use when the user asks Codex to inspect, import, enable, disable, deploy, update, repair, migrate, or uninstall Skill Flow skill groups through the skill-flow CLI or bridge protocol.

Its SKILL.md is about 950 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/bridge-commands.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Install, manage, and share skills across every major coding agent — Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and more. The licence is Apache-2.0.

Workflow steps

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

Classify the task as read-only, normal mutation, or destructive.
Read current state with list or a narrower inspect command.
For imports, run preview or prepare first; build draft from returned skill selectors.
For enable/disable/deploy, call apply with full selectedLeafIds and enabledTargets.
For updates or repairs, run doctor before and after.
Report ok, warnings, errors, changed source ids, and any blocked actions.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 443fec8. 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:
- npm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, 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

Skill Flow loads about 950 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 411 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~950
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~2.3k

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.

Skill Flow

Overview

Operate Skill Flow through its CLI without editing state files directly. Prefer the machine-readable bridge protocol for agent work; use the human CLI only for simple commands that already emit usable output.

Core Rules

Use skill-flow bridge --json for structured operations and parse the JSON response.
Never edit ~/.skillflow, target skill directories, manifests, locks, or source checkouts directly.
Inspect before mutating: run list, inspect, doctor, or preview-import-source first.
Default imports to OFF by using enabledTargets: [] unless the user explicitly asks to deploy immediately.
Treat skill enablement and deployment as draft state: use apply, not direct filesystem edits.
Explain impact before state-changing operations; require explicit confirmation for destructive operations.

Command Entry

Use installed CLI:

bash

skill-flow bridge --json --request '{"protocolVersion":"1.0","command":"list"}'

Inside this repository, use the workspace CLI:

bash

npm run -w skill-flow dev -- bridge --json --request '{"protocolVersion":"1.0","command":"list"}'

For payload details, read references/bridge-commands.md before crafting a bridge request.

Workflow

Classify the task as read-only, normal mutation, or destructive.
Read current state with list or a narrower inspect command.
For imports, run preview or prepare first; build draft from returned skill selectors.
For enable/disable/deploy, call apply with full selectedLeafIds and enabledTargets.
For updates or repairs, run doctor before and after.
Report ok, warnings, errors, changed source ids, and any blocked actions.

Safety Levels

Level	Operations	Rule
Read-only	`list`, `doctor`, `inspect`, `inspect-enrichment`, `search-import-groups`, `scan-local-import-groups`, `preview-import-source`, `inspect-state-migration`	Execute directly when useful.
Normal mutation	`bootstrap`, `commit-import-source`, `import-source`, `apply`, `update`, `toggle-pin`, `rename-source`, collections, `save-settings`	Summarize impact; proceed if the user requested that exact change.
Destructive/high-risk	`uninstall`, non-dry-run `migrate-state`, broad repairs such as `repair-state --all`	Require explicit confirmation after identifying exact ids and scope.

Common Tasks

User asks	Do
"What groups do I have?"	Bridge `list`.
"Search for a skill"	Human CLI `skill-flow find <query> --json`, or bridge import search for remote groups.
"Import this repo, keep skills off"	`preview-import-source`, then `import-source` or `prepare-import-source` + `commit-import-source` with `enabledTargets: []`.
"Turn these skills on for Codex"	`inspect`, map names to leaf ids, then `apply` with `enabledTargets: ["codex"]`.
"Disable a skill"	`inspect`, remove its leaf id from `selectedLeafIds`, then `apply` with remaining ids.
"Why did deployment fail?"	`doctor`, then `inspect` for the affected source.
"Remove this group"	`list`/`inspect`, ask for confirmation, then `uninstall`.

Common Mistakes

Using interactive config or add when bridge JSON can do the same job.
Omitting protocolVersion: "1.0" from bridge requests.
Passing skill names to apply; it requires leaf ids such as source-id:skills/review.
Importing with non-empty enabledTargets when the user did not request deployment.
Running uninstall or migration based on display names instead of exact source ids.
