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.
  • 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 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
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-0.6.0-macos-arm64.tar.gz
install -m 0755 \
  skill-manager-cli-0.6.0-macos-arm64/skill-manager \
  "$HOME/.local/bin/skill-manager"
skill-manager --version

The expected version output is skill-manager 0.6.0.

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

Link every recorded source to a newly managed tool without reinstalling each
source:

skill-manager extend --tool muse --dry-run
skill-manager extend --tool grok --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.
  • 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.
