amctl skills

Manage AI assistant skill files — SKILL.md instruction packs that extend tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf with Agent Manager-aware behavior.

Skills are fetched from the wso2/agent-skills repository, extracted under ~/.agents/skills/, and symlinked into any supported assistant directories that exist locally:

ToolDetected directory
Claude Code~/.claude/skills
Cursor~/.cursor/skills
Windsurf~/.windsurf/skills

amctl skills install

Fetch the latest skills bundle, extract under ~/.agents/skills/, and link each skill into every detected assistant directory. Re-running the command updates skills in place.

amctl skills install

Example

amctl skills install

After installation, restart your AI assistant so it picks up the new skill.


amctl skills list

Show the skills available in the published bundle, including which ones are installed locally and where they are linked.

amctl skills list

Example

amctl skills list

amctl skills remove

Remove installed skills from ~/.agents/skills/ and clean up symlinks that point at them. Symlinks whose target is outside the managed directory are left alone — safe to run if some skills were placed manually.

amctl skills remove

Example

amctl skills remove
