Skills Manager

A Silo extension for Agent Skills — see what's installed in the current workspace at a glance, then search, install, and remove more from skills.sh without ever leaving the editor.

What you get

• A Skills panel — every skill installed in the current workspace and your user scope, grouped and filterable, so you always know what's already available to your agents without digging through .claude/skills folders by hand

• Browse skills.sh from a dock sheet — trending / hot / all-time / installed, or search across skills.sh's full catalog, without a browser tab pulling you out of Silo

• Rich detail pages — install counts, an Official badge for maintainer-published skills, and a full summary before you commit to installing anything

  

• One-click install, project or user scope — copies (and can run) the exact npx skills add command for you, with a checkbox to target user scope instead of the current workspace

• Uninstall the same way — no dropping to a terminal to remember the right flags

• Confirm once, skip it forever — install/uninstall prompts have a "Don't show this again" checkbox

• Live-updating inventory — the panel watches your skill root directories, so installing or removing a skill anywhere (even outside Silo) shows up immediately

Commands

Requirements

Silo 0.53.0 or newer — this extension depends on three ctx surfaces added in that release (RFC 0029): ctx.layout.openPanelSheet, ctx.ui.confirmWithDontShowAgain, and ctx.system.homeDir().

Permissions

• fs:read — scanning project/user skill directories and reading SKILL.md frontmatter
• network — fetching skill listings and descriptions from skills.sh
