Skills

A skill is an AgentSkills-standard bundle — a folder with a SKILL.md carrying name and description frontmatter — that teaches an agent a repeatable task. Coffer keeps one canonical copy of each skill and delivers it into the agents you choose, so you manage skills once instead of copying folders between ~/.claude, ~/.codex, and the rest.

Import a skill

Add a skill to your master library from a local folder or a public Git URL:

coffer skill import ./my-skill                                      # copy a local folder in
coffer skill fetch https://github.com/acme/skills --ref main --subpath foo
coffer skill list                                                  # → my-skill | local_import
coffer skill show my-skill                                          # metadata + files

• import takes a point-in-time copy; fetch records the Git source so you can refresh it later with coffer skill update <name>.
• The master copy lives at ~/.coffer/skills/<name>/.

Deliver a skill to an agent

Enabling a skill for an agent creates a symlink from the agent's skills/ directory to the master copy:

coffer skill enable my-skill --agent claude-code     # deliver it (symlink)
coffer skill disable my-skill --agent claude-code    # remove the link
coffer skill verify                                  # report drift; non-zero exit if any

• Coffer never auto-remediates. verify reports missing, tampered, or orphaned links; you fix them explicitly (re-enable, or coffer skill update).
• coffer skill rm <name> removes a skill and tears down all of its bindings.

In the app

The Skills page lists your master library; import via a file picker or a Git URL, and open a skill to see its metadata and a read-only file tree. Per-agent delivery lives on each agent's Skills tab — toggle a skill on or off for that agent. See Agents.
