What it does

Launches an animated interactive menu to install, update, remove, and inspect Claude Code skills — the prompt files that teach Claude how to perform specialised tasks in your projects.

Skills are installed into:

| Scope | Path | |---------|------------------------------------| | Global | ~/.claude/skills/ + ~/.agents/skills/ | | Project | .claude/skills/ in current dir |

A lockfile (~/.claude/claude-skills-lock.json or .claude/claude-skills-lock.json) tracks every installed skill with a SHA-256 hash so updates and drift can be detected.

Menu options

| Option | Description | |--------|-------------| | Add Skill(s) | Pick from 54 bundled skills. Dependencies are resolved and installed automatically. | | Update Existing Skill(s) | Detect and apply updates for skills that have a newer bundled version. | | Remove Existing Skill(s) | Uninstall skills from disk and remove them from the lockfile. | | List Installed Skill(s) | Show all installed skills with status, link type, and hash. | | Sync/Restore Skills from Lockfile | Re-materialize any missing or broken skills from the lockfile. | | Check Skill(s) | Health check — ok / update available / locally modified / missing / broken symlink. | | Quit | Exit. |

Press Escape at any sub-prompt to go back to the main menu.
