This release adds one user-facing feature to ChatWalaʻau: Skills Management -- runtime control of which Agent Skills the agent advertises. It is the Skills counterpart of the MCP Tool Management shipped in v0.82.0.

Highlights

Skills Management (v0.83.0)

  • New Skills (book) button next to the model controls opens a management modal where you can enable or disable Agent Skills while the server is running -- no file edit, no restart.
  • Skills are organized by folder group: A/B/SKILL.md shows as group A / skill B, and a skill placed directly under the skills directory is "ungrouped". A group checkbox bulk-toggles every skill under it, and each skill shows its description as an overview.
  • Disabling skills you are not using reduces token usage: each advertised skill's name and description are sent to the model on every turn, so a smaller set means cheaper turns (and steadier prompt caching). Disabling every skill removes the skill tooling entirely.
  • The modal opens large (about 90% of the window) with the group list on the left and a per-skill detail pane on the right. Save is enabled only after a change, asks for confirmation, and shows a "rebuilding agents" indicator while the change is applied. Closing with unsaved changes prompts you to save or discard. A warning appears when the same skill name exists in more than one group.
  • Saving rebuilds the agents so your next message advertises only the selected skills. The selection is in-memory only -- a restart re-enables every skill -- and skill files on disk are never modified.
  • The manager is an operator function protected by the same authentication as other write endpoints (localhost is exempt).

Included in this release

This release includes implementation work from:

  • v0.83.0 through v0.83.0

Notes

  • No breaking changes. With no selection made (and after any restart) behavior is byte-for-byte unchanged -- every discovered skill stays advertised. No new configuration is required.
  • Internal design management content and architecture control artifacts are intentionally omitted from this release note.

Installation

See the repository README for setup and usage instructions.
