Skill Manager 0.10.0 Public Preview

This feature preview installs sources that ship one skill name from several
directories, installs a skill under another name when another source already
owns its name, and adds optional TypeSafe recommendations to the Skill Advisor
with your own API key. It supersedes v0.9.0 for Apple Silicon Macs running
macOS 13 or newer.

Downloads

  • skill-manager-desktop-0.10.0-macos-arm64.zip — Skill Manager.app with the
    Dashboard, Skills, Skill Sets, Sources, and Advisor interfaces.
  • skill-manager-cli-0.10.0-macos-arm64.tar.gz — the skill-manager CLI/TUI,
    advisor API, README, MIT license, and third-party notices.
  • SHA256SUMS.txt — SHA-256 digests for both archives.

Download SHA256SUMS.txt with the artifacts and verify both archives from the
same directory:

shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS.txt

What Changed

  • Duplicate skill names inside one source. A source that ships the same
    skill name from several directories no longer fails to install. Identical
    copies install from one canonical copy, and the output names it. Copies with
    differing content are never guessed: the CLI lists every copy as a pasteable
    --skill <name>=<path> form, and the desktop install matrix shows a copy
    picker.

    skill-manager install https://github.com/example/agent-skills --tool codex \
  --skill example-skill=plugin/skills/example-skill

  • Install a skill under another name. When another installed source already
    owns a skill's name, the blocked install now suggests an install name you can
    paste with --as. In the desktop install dialog, the row asks for an install
    name prefilled with the suggestion and is never preselected.

    skill-manager install https://github.com/example/tools --tool claude \
  --as 'alpha=alpha-example'

    The second skill is an independent entry that you toggle, favorite, or add to
    a Skill Set by its install name. Reinstall, update, and extend keep it.
    SKILL.md is never edited, so Claude Code shows /alpha-example while Codex
    and Grok may list both installs under the same label.

  • Optional TypeSafe recommendations for the Skill Advisor. Local ranked
    search remains the default and sends nothing off the machine. Selecting
    TypeSafe on the new desktop Advisor screen, or with
    skill-manager advisor provider use typesafe, together with your own
    TypeSafe API key from the macOS keychain or TYPESAFE_API_KEY, lets
    skill-manager advisor recommend send the task brief plus skill names and
    descriptions to TypeSafe for a model-ranked selection. A stored key alone
    never enables cloud use. See PRIVACY.md for the data flow.

  • Strict dry-runs no longer let git status rewrite a managed checkout's
    .git/index.

Upgrade Note

state.json is now written as manifest version 3 to record install names.
Skill Manager 0.9.0 and earlier refuse a version 3 file. To go back to an
older release, restore a pre-upgrade copy of state.json from
~/.skill-manager/backups/.

Desktop Installation

  1. Expand skill-manager-desktop-0.10.0-macos-arm64.zip.
  2. Move Skill Manager.app to /Applications.
  3. Control-click the application, choose Open, and confirm Open.

The application is ad-hoc signed but not Developer ID signed or notarized. If
macOS does not offer Open, try a normal launch once, then use System
Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway after verifying the checksum and
that this release came from the expected repository.

CLI Installation

tar -xzf skill-manager-cli-0.10.0-macos-arm64.tar.gz
install -m 0755 \
  skill-manager-cli-0.10.0-macos-arm64/skill-manager \
  "$HOME/.local/bin/skill-manager"
skill-manager --version

The expected version output is skill-manager 0.10.0.

The Skill Advisor remains opt-in. After installing the CLI, install the
first-party skill from this repository:

skill-manager install https://github.com/dees91/agent-skill-manager \
  --tool both --skill skill-advisor

Preview Limitations

  • This is a public preview, not a stable release.
  • Only Apple Silicon macOS 13 or newer is supported by these binaries.
  • There is no Developer ID signature, notarization, universal binary, DMG,
    auto-update, telemetry, SBOM, or build provenance attestation.
  • Skill Manager uses fixed provider paths under the current user's home
    directory. Custom Claude, Codex, Muse, or Grok skill roots, GROK_HOME,
    project-level skill directories, and provider plugin skills are out of scope.
  • An install name is chosen once per source. To change it, uninstall the source
    and install it again with a different --as. Claude settings.json skill
    overrides are keyed by folder name and do not follow an install name.
  • Codex and Grok read the name inside SKILL.md, so two installs of one skill
    may show the same label there. Muse behavior with install names is
    unverified.
  • TypeSafe recommendations need network access and a user-owned key; failures
    fall back to local candidates. Ad-hoc-signed builds may prompt for keychain
    access after each update.
  • New skills are never installed automatically, and there is no way to dismiss
    one you do not want. A skill stops being reported only after it is installed.
  • Install as OFF applies to the whole selection; --off never turns an already
    installed skill OFF.
  • Repair clears worktree changes only. A checkout with local commits, a detached
    HEAD, a changed origin, or managed link drift is diagnosed but not resolved.
  • Muse and Grok have no provider diagnostic, so their context-budget figures
    are always filesystem estimates against an assumed context window.
  • Experimental skills.sh Discover code is not exposed in this build.
  • Already running Claude Code, Codex, Muse, or Grok sessions may need to be
    restarted after skill visibility changes.
  • Third-party skills contain instructions that Skill Manager does not audit or
    sandbox. Review their source before installing them.

v0.9.0

Skill Manager 0.9.0 Public Preview

This feature preview lets you install skills without making them visible to any
tool, and toggle a Skill Set for any combination of tools. It supersedes
v0.8.0 for Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 13 or newer.

Downloads

  • skill-manager-desktop-0.9.0-macos-arm64.zip — Skill Manager.app with the
    Dashboard, Skills, Skill Sets, and Sources interfaces.
  • skill-manager-cli-0.9.0-macos-arm64.tar.gz — the skill-manager CLI/TUI,
    advisor activation API, README, MIT license, and third-party notices.
  • SHA256SUMS.txt — SHA-256 digests for both archives.

Download SHA256SUMS.txt with the artifacts and verify both archives from the
same directory:

shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS.txt

What Changed

  • Install skills as OFF. Add a source for every tool without any tool
    seeing its skills until you turn them ON. In the desktop install dialog, turn
    on Install as OFF (available in both Install source and Install new). In
    the terminal, add --off:

    skill-manager install https://github.com/example/agent-skills --off --dry-run
skill-manager install https://github.com/example/agent-skills --off
skill-manager enable --tool claude example-skill

    Links are created directly in Skill Manager's disabled directory and never
    appear in a tool's skills directory, even briefly. The result is identical to
    installing and then turning each skill OFF. Skills that are already installed
    keep their current state.

  • Toggle a Skill Set for any combination of tools. The Skill Set toggle
    dialog now treats Claude, Codex, Muse, and Grok as independent choices, so
    one use can target, for example, Claude and Grok. All selects or clears
    every tool.

  • If saving the install state fails, the links that install created are now
    removed for Git sources too, as they already were for local folders.

Desktop Installation

  1. Expand skill-manager-desktop-0.9.0-macos-arm64.zip.
  2. Move Skill Manager.app to /Applications.
  3. Control-click the application, choose Open, and confirm Open.

The application is ad-hoc signed but not Developer ID signed or notarized. If
macOS does not offer Open, try a normal launch once, then use System
Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway after verifying the checksum and
that this release came from the expected repository.

CLI Installation

tar -xzf skill-manager-cli-0.9.0-macos-arm64.tar.gz
install -m 0755 \
  skill-manager-cli-0.9.0-macos-arm64/skill-manager \
  "$HOME/.local/bin/skill-manager"
skill-manager --version

The expected version output is skill-manager 0.9.0.

The Skill Advisor remains opt-in. After installing the CLI, install the
first-party skill from this repository:

skill-manager install https://github.com/dees91/agent-skill-manager \
  --tool both --skill skill-advisor

Add a repository's skills disabled, then turn on only what you need:

skill-manager install https://github.com/example/agent-skills --off
skill-manager enable --tool claude example-skill

Preview Limitations

  • This is a public preview, not a stable release.
  • Only Apple Silicon macOS 13 or newer is supported by these binaries.
  • There is no Developer ID signature, notarization, universal binary, DMG,

  • Skill Manager uses fixed provider paths under the current user's home
    directory. Custom Claude, Codex, Muse, or Grok skill roots, GROK_HOME,
    project-level skill directories, and provider plugin skills are out of scope.
  • New skills are never installed automatically, and there is no way to dismiss
    one you do not want. A skill stops being reported only after it is installed.
  • New skills are matched by name. A recorded skill that moved to another path
    in the repository is not reported as new.
  • Install as OFF applies to the whole selection; there is no per-skill ON/OFF
    choice inside one install. --off never turns an already installed skill OFF.
  • Repair clears worktree changes only. A checkout with local commits, a detached
    HEAD, a changed origin, or managed link drift is diagnosed but not resolved.
  • Muse and Grok have no provider diagnostic, so their context-budget figures
    are always filesystem estimates against an assumed context window.

v0.8.0

Skill Manager 0.8.0 Public Preview

This feature preview reports skills that a managed Git repository gained after
you installed it and makes them one step to install. It supersedes v0.7.0 for
Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 13 or newer.

Downloads

  • skill-manager-desktop-0.8.0-macos-arm64.zip — Skill Manager.app with the
    Dashboard, Skills, Skill Sets, and Sources interfaces.
  • skill-manager-cli-0.8.0-macos-arm64.tar.gz — the skill-manager CLI/TUI,
    advisor activation API, README, MIT license, and third-party notices.
  • SHA256SUMS.txt — SHA-256 digests for both archives.

Download SHA256SUMS.txt with the artifacts and verify both archives from the
same directory:

shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS.txt

What Changed

  • update reports new skills. When a repository you installed later adds
    skills, update still installs nothing, but it now lists the skills that are
    not installed and prints the exact command that adds them for the tools the
    repository already uses:

    new skills in example/agent-skills (not installed): new-skill, other-skill
  install: skill-manager install https://github.com/example/agent-skills --skill new-skill --skill other-skill

    update --dry-run lists new skills already in the local checkout; it still
    does not fetch.

  • The Sources screen shows new skills on a healthy Git source, with an
    Install new action. It opens the install matrix on the existing checkout
    with only those skills preselected for the tools the source already uses.
    Already installed skills keep their current ON or OFF state.

  • Skill names come from upstream directory names, so every argument in the
    suggested command is shell-quoted. A name containing control characters is
    shown quoted and the command is left out.

  • If new skills cannot be checked, for example because two skills share a name,
    the update still succeeds and both interfaces show the reason.

  • The README is now a short desktop-first introduction, and the complete CLI,
    TUI, source, and troubleshooting guide lives in docs/usage.md.

Desktop Installation

  1. Expand skill-manager-desktop-0.8.0-macos-arm64.zip.
  2. Move Skill Manager.app to /Applications.
  3. Control-click the application, choose Open, and confirm Open.

The application is ad-hoc signed but not Developer ID signed or notarized. If
macOS does not offer Open, try a normal launch once, then use System

  skill-manager-cli-0.8.0-macos-arm64/skill-manager \
  "$HOME/.local/bin/skill-manager"
skill-manager --version

The expected version output is skill-manager 0.8.0.

The Skill Advisor remains opt-in. After installing the CLI, install the
first-party skill from this repository:

skill-manager install https://github.com/dees91/agent-skill-manager \
  --tool both --skill skill-advisor

Check a repository for skills added since you installed it without fetching:

skill-manager update https://github.com/example/agent-skills --dry-run

Preview Limitations

v0.7.0
70002c1

Skill Manager 0.7.0 Public Preview

This feature preview turns a blocked repository update into a named diagnosis
and adds one confirmed repair for the only repairable cause. It supersedes
v0.6.0 for Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 13 or newer.

Downloads

  • skill-manager-desktop-0.7.0-macos-arm64.zip — Skill Manager.app with the
    Dashboard, Skills, Skill Sets, and Sources interfaces.
  • skill-manager-cli-0.7.0-macos-arm64.tar.gz — the skill-manager CLI/TUI,
    advisor activation API, README, MIT license, and third-party notices.
  • SHA256SUMS.txt — SHA-256 digests for both archives.

Download SHA256SUMS.txt with the artifacts and verify both archives from the
same directory:

shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS.txt

What Changed

  • Added skill-manager repair <git-url> [--dry-run]. When a skill writes
    generated files into its own managed checkout, update stops; repair lists the
    offending checkout-relative paths, moves them into ~/.skill-manager/trash,
    restores tracked files from the last fetched commit, and then deletes the
    staged copy. An explicit Git URL is always required.
  • update now explains why it stopped. Every checkout blocker is classified
    and reported with a readable cause. Repairable failures print the exact
    repair command; detached HEAD, local commits, a changed origin, and link
    drift are explained and left for you to decide.
  • The Sources screen reports Needs repair before any update is attempted,
    with a per-source Repair action. A failed update offers the same repair from
    its dialog, and the confirmation lists every path that will be removed.
  • Repair only clears worktree changes. It never runs git clean or
    reset --hard, never leaves the managed checkout root, never writes
    state.json or moves symlinks, and refuses to move an installed skill
    directory or a SKILL.md that the last fetched commit cannot restore.
  • A failed repair restores the exact pre-operation state: staged paths are moved
    back, the Git index is restored, and files the repair recreated are removed.
    If any part of that cannot be completed, the recovery data is kept and the
    error names what failed.

Desktop Installation

  1. Expand skill-manager-desktop-0.7.0-macos-arm64.zip.
  2. Move Skill Manager.app to /Applications.
  3. Control-click the application, choose Open, and confirm Open.

The application is ad-hoc signed but not Developer ID signed or notarized. If
macOS does not offer Open, try a normal launch once, then use System
Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway after verifying the checksum and
that this release came from the expected repository.

CLI Installation

tar -xzf skill-manager-cli-0.7.0-macos-arm64.tar.gz
install -m 0755 \
  skill-manager-cli-0.7.0-macos-arm64/skill-manager \
  "$HOME/.local/bin/skill-manager"
skill-manager --version

The expected version output is skill-manager 0.7.0.

The Skill Advisor remains opt-in. After installing the CLI, install the
first-party skill from this repository:

skill-manager install https://github.com/dees91/agent-skill-manager \
  --tool both --skill skill-advisor

Preview a repair before it moves anything:

skill-manager repair https://github.com/example/agent-skills --dry-run

Preview Limitations

  • This is a public preview, not a stable release.
  • Only Apple Silicon macOS 13 or newer is supported by these binaries.
  • There is no Developer ID signature, notarization, universal binary, DMG,
    auto-update, telemetry, SBOM, or build provenance attestation.
  • Skill Manager uses fixed provider paths under the current user's home
    directory. Custom Claude, Codex, Muse, or Grok skill roots, GROK_HOME,
    project-level skill directories, and provider plugin skills are out of scope.
  • Repair clears worktree changes only. A checkout with local commits, a detached
    HEAD, a changed origin, or managed link drift is diagnosed but not resolved,
    and a checkout whose installed SKILL.md was deleted locally stays blocked by
    the ownership audit that also guards update and uninstall.
  • Files cleared by repair are removed once the checkout verifies clean. The
    trash staging exists so a failed repair can roll back, not as a recycle bin.
  • Muse and Grok have no provider diagnostic, so their context-budget figures
    are always filesystem estimates against an assumed context window.
  • Experimental skills.sh Discover code is not exposed in this build.
  • Already running Claude Code, Codex, Muse, or Grok sessions may need to be
    restarted after skill visibility changes.

v0.6.0

Skill Manager 0.6.0 Public Preview

This feature preview adds Muse and Grok as independently managed tools, so one
local inventory now covers four agent hosts. It supersedes v0.5.0 for Apple
Silicon Macs running macOS 13 or newer.

Downloads

  • skill-manager-desktop-0.6.0-macos-arm64.zip — Skill Manager.app with the
    Dashboard, Skills, Skill Sets, and Sources interfaces.
  • skill-manager-cli-0.6.0-macos-arm64.tar.gz — the skill-manager CLI/TUI,
    advisor activation API, README, MIT license, and third-party notices.

Download SHA256SUMS.txt with the artifacts and verify both archives from the
same directory:

shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS.txt

What Changed

  • Added Muse as a third managed tool. Skill Manager scans, toggles, and
    installs skills under ~/.config/muse/skills, honoring $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
    when it is set.
  • Added Grok as a fourth managed tool at ~/.grok/skills, with the same
    reversible move-based ON/OFF contract as the other hosts.
  • Extended every surface to four tools: CLI and TUI columns and filters, the
    Dashboard metrics and context-budget rows, the Skills workspace grid, Skill
    Set tool scopes, and Sources install and Extend to tool actions.
  • Reported Muse and Grok context budgets as labeled filesystem estimates. Only
    Claude and Codex expose a provider diagnostic; the Dashboard says so per row.
  • Taught the first-party Skill Advisor to select and activate skills for a
    Muse or Grok host, in addition to Claude Code and Codex.
  • Refreshed the README screenshots, demo animation, and social preview so the
    public media shows all four managed tools.

Desktop Installation

  1. Expand skill-manager-desktop-0.6.0-macos-arm64.zip.
  2. Move Skill Manager.app to /Applications.
  3. Control-click the application, choose Open, and confirm Open.

The application is ad-hoc signed but not Developer ID signed or notarized. If

Skill Manager 0.5.0 Public Preview

This feature preview adds reusable task recipes, temporary task-specific skill
activation, and favorites for large local skill catalogs. It supersedes
v0.4.2 for Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 13 or newer.

Downloads

  • skill-manager-desktop-0.5.0-macos-arm64.zip — Skill Manager.app with the
    Dashboard, Skills, Skill Sets, and Sources interfaces.
  • skill-manager-cli-0.5.0-macos-arm64.tar.gz — the skill-manager CLI/TUI,
    advisor activation API, README, MIT license, and third-party notices.
  • SHA256SUMS.txt — SHA-256 digests for both archives.

Download SHA256SUMS.txt with the artifacts and verify both archives from the
same directory:

shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS.txt

What Changed

  • Added Skill Sets to the macOS app. Save reusable, tool-agnostic skill
    recipes, preview their impact for Claude, Codex, or both, and stage them
    through the existing Pending/Apply workflow.
  • Added the optional first-party Skill Advisor and a path-free CLI
    inventory API. The advisor can activate the smallest relevant set of local
    inactive skills for one task and return an opaque receipt for explicit,
    drift-safe cleanup.
  • Added Favorites to the macOS Skills workspace. Star managed skills, find
    them with the Favorites filter, and keep them ahead of other skills without
    changing their ON/OFF state.
  • Preserved missing Skill Set members and favorite names so they reconnect when
    a skill with the same basename is installed again.
  • Refreshed the public demo and dashboard imagery to reflect the current
    interface.

Desktop Installation

  1. Expand skill-manager-desktop-0.5.0-macos-arm64.zip.
  2. Move Skill Manager.app to /Applications.
  3. Control-click the application, choose Open, and confirm Open.

The application is ad-hoc signed but not Developer ID signed or notarized. If
macOS does not offer Open, try a normal launch once, then use System
Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway after verifying the checksum and
that this release came from the expected repository.

CLI Installation

tar -xzf skill-manager-cli-0.5.0-macos-arm64.tar.gz
install -m 0755 \
  skill-manager-cli-0.5.0-macos-arm64/skill-manager \
  "$HOME/.local/bin/skill-manager"
skill-manager --version

The expected version output is skill-manager 0.5.0.

The Skill Advisor remains opt-in. After installing the CLI, install the
first-party skill for either provider from this repository:

skill-manager install https://github.com/dees91/agent-skill-manager \
  --tool both --skill skill-advisor

Preview Limitations

  • This is a public preview, not a stable release.
  • Only Apple Silicon macOS 13 or newer is supported by these binaries.
  • There is no Developer ID signature, notarization, universal binary, DMG,
    auto-update, telemetry, SBOM, or build provenance attestation.
  • Experimental skills.sh Discover code is not exposed in this build.
  • Already running Claude Code or Codex sessions may need to be restarted after
    skill visibility changes.
  • Third-party skills contain instructions that Skill Manager does not audit or

macOS 13 or newer. It refreshes the application toolchains and dependencies,
including the Go standard library used by both binaries, and fixes startup on
profiles that do not yet contain any Skill Manager-owned sources.

Downloads

  • skill-manager-desktop-0.4.2-macos-arm64.zip — Skill Manager.app with the
    Dashboard, Skills, and Sources interfaces.
  • skill-manager-cli-0.4.2-macos-arm64.tar.gz — the skill-manager CLI/TUI,
    README, MIT license, and third-party notices.
  • SHA256SUMS.txt — SHA-256 digests for both archives.

Download SHA256SUMS.txt with the artifacts and verify both archives from the
same directory:

shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS.txt

What Changed

  • Raised both Go modules to Go 1.26.6 so the distributed CLI and desktop
    binaries contain the current standard-library security fixes.
  • Upgraded Wails to 2.14, Bubble Tea to 1.3.10, and Lip Gloss to 1.1.0.
  • Updated React, TypeScript, Vite, and the related frontend test/build stack;
    source builds now require Node.js 22.12 or newer and npm 10 or newer.
  • Fixed the desktop Sources view on an empty profile by serializing an empty
    managed-source collection as [] instead of null.
  • Regenerated the dependency notices embedded in both release archives.

Desktop Installation

  1. Expand skill-manager-desktop-0.4.2-macos-arm64.zip.
  2. Move Skill Manager.app to /Applications.
  3. Control-click the application, choose Open, and confirm Open.

The application is ad-hoc signed but not Developer ID signed or notarized. If
macOS does not offer Open, try a normal launch once, then use System
Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway after verifying the checksum and
that this release came from the expected repository.

CLI Installation

tar -xzf skill-manager-cli-0.4.2-macos-arm64.tar.gz
install -m 0755 \
  skill-manager-cli-0.4.2-macos-arm64/skill-manager \
  "$HOME/.local/bin/skill-manager"
skill-manager --version

The expected version output is skill-manager 0.4.2.

Preview Limitations

  • This is a public preview, not a stable release.
  • Only Apple Silicon macOS 13 or newer is supported by these binaries.
  • There is no Developer ID signature, notarization, universal binary, DMG,
    auto-update, telemetry, SBOM, or build provenance attestation.
  • Experimental skills.sh Discover code is not exposed in this build.
  • Already running Claude Code or Codex sessions may need to be restarted after
    skill visibility changes.
  • Third-party skills contain instructions that Skill Manager does not audit or
    sandbox. Review their source before installing them.
