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
