Manage AI Agent Skills Across Coding Tools

This skill teaches the directory layout, file format, and operations needed to inspect, create, edit, enable, disable, copy, move, or delete local AI-agent skills and rule files across ten supported coding tools. Directory-based tools (Agents, Cursor, Claude) store each skill in its own subdirectory with a SKILL.md file using YAML frontmatter (name, description); Windsurf, Cline, Continue, and Roo Code use plain .md rule files (frontmatter optional); single-file tools (Copilot, Codex, Aider, Augment) hold all instructions in one file per scope. Each tool has both a global path (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md) and a project-scoped path (e.g. .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md), with project-scoped skills overriding global ones of the same name. Cursor plugin skills are cached read-only and should not be edited directly.

# Disable a skill (renames to preserve content, tool ignores it)
mv ~/.cursor/skills/my-skill/SKILL.md ~/.cursor/skills/my-skill/SKILL.md.disabled

# Copy a skill from one tool to another (adapting format if needed)
cp -r ~/.cursor/skills/my-skill ~/.claude/skills/my-skill

Documented operations include listing all skills per tool (and a total count across tools), reading a skill's content, creating a new skill with the correct frontmatter format, enabling/disabling (via a .disabled filename suffix that preserves content), copying or moving a skill between tools or from global to project scope (adapting file format/naming as needed between directory-based and single-file conventions), deleting a skill, and searching across all skill directories by name or by content (grep -rl).

Use it when the user wants to inspect, create, edit, enable, disable, copy, move, or delete AI-agent skill or rule files across any of the supported tools, or asks to "manage skills", "list my skills", "create a skill", or "copy a skill to X". The skill's own guidance is to always confirm before deleting skills (since rm -rf on a skill directory is destructive), use kebab-case for new skill directory names, and note that editing a single-file tool (Copilot, Codex, Aider, Augment) means replacing that file's entire content rather than appending.

Input is a skill-management request (list, create, read, enable/disable, copy, move, delete, or search) naming the target tool(s) and skill. Output is the corresponding filesystem operation - a created/modified SKILL.md or rule file, a listing of existing skills, a renamed .disabled file, or a deletion - using the correct path and format convention for the target tool.

Covers Agents, Cursor, Claude, Windsurf, Cline, Continue, and Roo Code (directory-based, multi-skill) plus Copilot, Codex, Aider, and Augment (single-file) skill/rule storage conventions.

Developers managing their AI coding tool configurations across multiple assistants who need to inspect, create, migrate, or clean up skill/rule files from the terminal rather than each tool's own UI.
