Skills tab

The Skills tab shows agent skills that the local CLI can discover. It defaults to the repo-local Memory Layer bundle under .agents/skills/, then lets you switch to repo-local custom skills, home-directory skills, Codex skills, plugin skills, unmanaged skills, or the full inventory.

Use it when the status bar reports stale skills, when you want to inspect the exact SKILL.md instructions, or when you need to confirm where a skill came from.

Inventory

Each row shows:

• skill name and short description
• source such as memory, repo local, home local, codex, codex system, or plugin
• installed version
• freshness status such as up-to-date, missing, outdated, unversioned, invalid-version, or unmanaged
• repair action such as Skip, Install, or Replace
• installed path and source/template path in the detail pane

The default Memory filter shows only Memory-owned repo-local skills. Use Repo local, Home, Codex, Plugins, Needs repair, Unmanaged, or All to narrow the inventory.

Detail pane

Selecting a skill opens a detail pane with the description, source, repairability, installed path, template path, versions, and rendered SKILL.md content. This is the fastest way to verify the instructions a local agent will actually read.

Controls

Repair

The repair action uses the same implementation as memory doctor --fix. It downloads the current GitHub skill bundle when available, falls back to the installed local template when offline, backs up replaced files, and only mutates Memory-owned skill directories under .agents/skills/.

Home-directory, Codex, plugin, and custom repo-local skills are visible for inspection only. They are marked unmanaged and are not changed by u.
