A CLI for managing AI agent skills across harnesses

Project description

Agent Skill Bridge

Agent Skill Bridge is a CLI for managing AI agent skills across different harnesses such as Codex, Claude Code, Crush, and DeepAgents.

It keeps a shared skill store, copies or links skills into harness-level global and project-level skill folders, tracks project usage, and can sync skills between harnesses.

Features:

  • skill list/remove
  • skill link/copy
  • skill sync
  • harness config management
  • shell completion

The manager files are stored under:

os.getenv("XDG_CONFIG_HOME", "~/.config") + "/" + project_name

The shared skill store is:

os.getenv("XDG_CONFIG_HOME", "~/.config") + "/agents/skills"

A harness is an agent tool that consumes skills, such as Codex or Claude Code. Global and project storage are the harness's own global-level and project-level configuration paths.

Agent Skill Bridge maintains the skills folder and a usage file for tracking:

os.getenv("XDG_CONFIG_HOME", "~/.config") + "/" + project_name + "/usage.json"

Usage tracking (the must exist in the mapper):

<harness>: {
    "projects": {
        <proj>: {
            <skill>: <mode>
        }
    }
}

Install

uv sync --python 3.10 --link-mode copy

The package name is agent-skill-bridge. Run the CLI with asb:

uv run --python 3.10 asb --help

The long command agent-skill-bridge is also available.

List

Show skills of the current project.

By default, list detects harnesses used by the current project. A harness is considered used when its project prefix exists in the current project; the skills folder does not need to exist yet. It then shows both project and global levels for those harnesses. Be quiet if there is nothing to show.

asb list [<harness>] [--global | --project]
  • -g/--global: global only (any folder)
  • -p/--project: project only
  • By default, we list project level and global level with level title
  • list -g shows global skills for the detected project harnesses and the default global skills

Example:

Project:
- <skill-name>
...

Global (<harness>):
- <skill-name>

Remove

asb remove <skill-name | skill-folder> [<harness>] [--global] [--link] [--all]

For

  • -g/--global: global only
  • -l/--link: remove the symlink and its linked shared-store skill
  • -a/--all: requires a skill name, removes it from the default global store and from project paths recorded in usage
  • By default, we just remove the skill from current project

For (absolute path or relative path)

  • For global skill, we do as remove <skill-name> -a
  • For project skill, we do as remove <skill-name>

For unknown name/folder, just show error message

Link/Copy

asb copy <skill-names> [<harness>] [-p | -g]
asb link <skill-names> [<harness>] [-p | -g]

Copy/Link skill from the shared skill store into a harness global or project path.

  • no argument: open a terminal UI picker for the shared skill store
  • -p/--project: operation on project level
  • -g/--global: operation on global level
  • By default, operation on project level
  • trailing <harness>: use that harness instead of default

Sync

asb sync <src_harness> <dst_harness> [--copy] [--all] [-p | -g]

Sync all skills from the Agent Skill Bridge shared store into another harness global or project path. The source harness is used to detect skills that exist in the source global path but are missing from the shared store.

  • By default, sync in link mode from the shared store
  • -c/--copy: sync in copy mode
  • -a/--all: copy source-only skills into the shared store before syncing
  • Without -a, source-only skills are reported as warnings and are not synced
  • If the source harness has no global skills, sync completes without changing the destination and reports that the source has no skills
  • When sync runs, it reports the number of skills synced to the destination
  • -p/--project: operation on project level
  • -g/--global: operation on global level
  • By default, operation on project level

Completion

asb completion zsh
asb completion bash

Output the completion script in stdout

Config

asb config list
asb config add <harness> [-p <project>] [-g <global>]
asb config remove <harness> [-p | -g] [-a]

config list shows every harness config except default.

config add adds the fields that are provided. If neither -p nor -g is provided, the harness is stored as an empty object. If the harness already exists, Agent Skill Bridge asks whether to overwrite it and defaults to no.

config remove removes the whole harness config by default. With -p or -g, it removes only that field. By default, Agent Skill Bridge asks whether to delete the related global and recorded project skill folders. With -a, it deletes them without asking.

Default storage:

  • project: .agents/skills
  • global: os.getenv("XDG_CONFIG_HOME", "~/.config") + "/agents/skills"

For different harness, the mapper file is:

os.getenv("XDG_CONFIG_HOME", "~/.config") + "/" + project_name + "/map.json"

The default entry is always provided by Agent Skill Bridge and is not shown by config list.

<harness> : {
    "project": <prefix>,
    "global": <prefix>
}

Then we get the folder by:

harness = mapper.get(name, mapper["default"])
project_folder = harness.get("project", mapper["default"]["project"]) / "skills"
global_folder = harness.get("global", mapper["default"]["global"]) / "skills"
