Use installed Skills

The cmdop skill commands manage Skills on the one machine you run them on: list, show, and dir to inspect what is there, install <slug> and uninstall <name> to change it, and cmdop run <skill-name> to invoke one. The distinction worth holding onto is that a Skill being listed in the marketplace says nothing about whether it is installed here — cmdop skill list is the authority.

cmdop skill manages the Skills installed on the machine you run it on.

Inspect what is installed

cmdop skill list cmdop skill show <name> cmdop skill dir

list shows installed Skills, show prints one Skill’s details, and dir prints the directory they live in.

Install and remove

cmdop skill install <slug> cmdop skill install <slug> --version 1.2.0 cmdop skill uninstall <name>

install takes the marketplace slug and fetches that Skill; --version pins a specific release instead of the latest. uninstall takes the installed Skill’s name and removes it along with the environment it created.

Run one

cmdop run <skill-name> "your request"

Two things people conflate

  • Marketplace listing is not installation. A Skill being publicly listed does not mean it is installed on this machine or available to an agent at runtime. cmdop skill list is the authority for that.
  • cmdop skills is a deprecated alias of the singular cmdop skill. Use the singular form in anything you write down.

See Skills for the lifecycle boundary, and Write your first Skill to author one.

Common questions

How do I install a Cmdop Skill?

Use cmdop skill install <slug> on the machine where the Skill should be available. Add --version when you need a specific release instead of the latest.

How do I know which Skills are installed?

Run cmdop skill list on that machine. Marketplace listings show what exists; they do not prove that a Skill is installed or available at runtime.

How do I run an installed Skill?

Use cmdop run <skill-name> "your request". The singular cmdop skill command is the supported management surface; cmdop skills is only a deprecated alias.
