Manage Skill Packs

Purpose

Provide a safe, script-driven way to switch skill packs by updating .ai/skills/_meta/sync-manifest.json and re-syncing provider wrappers.

When to use

Use this skill when you need to:

• •enable a pack (for example context-core) so its skills become discoverable
• •disable a pack to reduce scope and noise
• •re-sync wrappers after changing SSOT skills or selection rules

Do NOT use this skill if:

• •you intend to directly edit .codex/skills/ or .claude/skills/ (those are generated wrappers)

Inputs

• •Pack id (a JSON file name under .ai/skills/_meta/packs/, without .json)
• •Provider selection (optional): codex, claude, or both

Outputs

• •Updated .ai/skills/_meta/sync-manifest.json (effective selection)
• •Updated .ai/skills/_meta/skillsctl-state.json (enabled packs + last sync)
• •Regenerated wrappers under provider skill roots (via sync-skills.mjs)

Steps

1. •

   List available packs:

   • •node .ai/skills/_meta/ctl-skillpacks.mjs list-packs
2. •

   Enable a pack and sync wrappers:

   • •node .ai/skills/_meta/ctl-skillpacks.mjs enable-pack <packId> --providers both
3. •

   Disable a pack and sync wrappers:

   • •node .ai/skills/_meta/ctl-skillpacks.mjs disable-pack <packId> --providers both
4. •

   Inspect current selection:

   • •node .ai/skills/_meta/ctl-skillpacks.mjs status
5. •

   Re-sync wrappers (without changing packs):

   • •node .ai/skills/_meta/ctl-skillpacks.mjs sync --providers both

Verification

node .ai/skills/_meta/ctl-skillpacks.mjs status
node .ai/skills/_meta/ctl-skillpacks.mjs list-packs

Boundaries

• •You MUST NOT edit .ai/skills/_meta/sync-manifest.json directly.
• •You MUST NOT edit provider wrapper directories directly (.codex/skills/, .claude/skills/).
• •You SHOULD treat packs as additive bundles of capabilities and keep the enabled set minimal.
