On 0.8, install the last release that supported it from this repository instead: ```bash paseo plugin add gpambrozio/paseo-plugins --path skills ``` This repository holds five plugins, hence `--path`. The daemon clones it under `$PASEO_HOME/plugins` and runs no package manager — the plugin is source only, and everything it imports at runtime the host provides. Pin a release with `--ref `; later, `paseo plugin status` and `paseo plugin update skills` follow the branch. To hack on it instead, install from a clone of your own: ```bash git clone https://github.com/gpambrozio/paseo-plugins.git cd paseo-plugins/skills npm install npm run typecheck && npm test paseo plugin install "$PWD" ``` `install` records the directory, so keep that clone where it is — the daemon loads the plugin from that path every time it starts. `npm install` is for the typecheck and the tests; installing needs none of it. The daemon needs `"pluginsEnabled": true` in its `config.json`. Run `paseo reload` after changing it. Plugin code is trusted and unsandboxed: the server half reads the daemon machine's filesystem and the client half runs inside th… ### Source README #### paseo-skills A Paseo plugin that lists the agent skills available to an agent session, shows where each one comes from, renders its `SKILL.md`, and invokes it. Works with every provider. Claude, Codex, and Hermes additionally get their skill files scanned off disk, which is what gives a skill a source, a path, and a rendered body; every other provider shows what its running session reports. ##### Install Requires the [Paseo](https://paseo.sh) CLI and a running daemon, both **0.9.0 or newer** — as well as the app you view the panel in, which checks the version itself. ```bash paseo plugin install npm:@gpambrozio/paseo-skills ``` That is the shortest route on **Paseo 0.9 or newer**, which installs plugins straight from npm; add `@` to pin one.

It opens a popover over the composer with the agent's skills: pick one to read it and invoke it with arguments, or press **Open tab** at its top right for the full Skills panel. The Command Center reaches the same panel: focus a workspace tab holding an agent, press ⌘K, and pick **Skills**. ##### Demo https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cbb0166e-d981-4367-a5b4-5b12d2e7c14c ##### Develop ```bash npm test # vitest, resolvers only npm run typecheck paseo plugin reload skills # after any source change paseo plugin logs skills # load errors and stderr ``` A failed reload stays failed; Paseo does not restore the previous code. ##### Layout | File | Owns | | ----------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | | `index.client.tsx` | Client wiring: the panel, the Command Center item, the pills. | | `index.server.ts` | Server wiring: the two RPC handlers. | | `shared/skills.ts` | zod RPC contracts, imported by both runtimes. | | `server/skills.ts` | RPC handlers; resolves the agent, dispatches by provider. | | `server/resolve/claude.ts` | Claude project, repository, personal, and plugin skills. | | `server/resolve/codex.ts` | Codex project, repository, personal, and admin skills. | | `server/resolve/repo-root.ts` | Walks up for `.git`, and lists the directories in between. | | `server/resolve/skill-directory.ts` | Scans one `skills` directory, and a whole search path. | | `server/resolve/skill-entry.ts` | Entry types, skill id construction, first-wins dedupe. | | `server/resolve/frontmatter.ts` | `SKILL.md` frontmatter parsing. | | `server/resolve/reported.ts` | Splits session-reported entries discovery did not find. | | `client/browser.tsx` | List, search, detail, invoke — drawn by the panel and the popover. | | `client/panel.tsx` | The panel: the browser as a whole tab. | | `client/popover.tsx` | The pill's popover: the browser, plus a button to the panel. | | `client/pill.tsx` | The composer pill and the registration loop that owns it. | | `client/skills-query.tsx` | The `skills.list` query the panel and the pill share. | `docs/design.md` records why it is shaped this way.
