name: skills description: This skill should be used when the user asks to "install a skill", "add a skill", "remove a skill", "list skills", "update skills", "find skills", "search for skills", or mentions "npx skills", skill management, or agent skill installation.

Agent Skills Management

Manage agent skills using the npx skills CLI from vercel-labs/agent-skills.

Commands Overview

Command	Purpose
`npx -y skills add <repo>`	Install skills from repository
`npx -y skills remove [names]`	Remove installed skills
`npx -y skills list`	List installed skills
`npx -y skills find [query]`	Search for skills interactively
`npx -y skills update`	Update all skills to latest
`npx -y skills check`	Check for available updates
`npx -y skills init [name]`	Initialize a new skill

Note: The npx -y flag is for npx itself (auto-install the skills package). The -y flag on skills add/remove commands skips confirmation prompts — omit it in interactive contexts to let the user confirm before changes.
