## Description

Drive the Skills Manager CLI (`skm`) to initialize the hub, adopt unmanaged skills, list/enable/disable skills per AI tool, and doctor/fix symlink sync. Use whenever the user or an agent needs to manage skills from a terminal, SSH session, CI job, or headless machine; when a skill is missing in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, OpenCode, or any other supported tool; when asked to run skm / Skills Manager CLI; or when setting up Skills Manager without the GUI. Do not use for `npx skills` / skills.sh search (different CLI), for writing SKILL.md content (skill-creator), or for marketplace browse/install (not in skm).

# Skills Manager CLI (`skm`)

**New here?** This skill drives `skm`, the command-line tool that ships with
[**Skills Manager**](https://skillsmanager.freeourdays.com), a desktop app
(macOS / Windows / Linux) that installs one copy of a skill into a central hub
and symlinks it into every AI coding tool you use (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor,
Gemini, and ~30 more), so you write a skill once and it shows up everywhere.

If you found this skill on ClawHub but don't have Skills Manager yet, that is
the missing piece: `skm` is not a standalone binary you `npm install`. Get it
by installing the app from the [official website](https://skillsmanager.freeourdays.com/?ref=clawhub#download)
(then Settings → Command Line Tool, or run `skm init`), or grab a
`skm-<target>.tar.gz` / `.zip` from the
[GitHub Releases page](https://github.com/jiweiyeah/skills-manager/releases).
Source and docs: <https://github.com/jiweiyeah/skills-manager>.

`skm` is the terminal front-end of Skills Manager. It reads and writes the
same `~/.skills-manager/config.json` and the same hub/tool symlinks as the
desktop app, so GUI and CLI are interchangeable.

It does **not** create, edit, search, translate, tag, or marketplace-install
skills. Those stay in the GUI (or you write files into the hub yourself, then
`skm enable`).
