Agent skills

  • Find installations across projectsNew#255

    dxs skills doctor inspects user and current-project skills and scans the parent directory for nearby project installations. Use --scan PATH to choose workspaces, --user or --project to limit inspection, and --max-depth / --max-directories to control scanning.

  • Migrate legacy Datex skillsNew#255

    dxs skills doctor --fix adopts verified npx skills installations from datex/skills into Quartermaster management, installs required dependencies, and repairs unhealthy managed skills. Claude Code and Codex placement is preserved, as are unrelated installer records. dxs skills update also adopts legacy installs and repairs missing files or links in the selected scope.

  • Contributor checkouts are protectedNew#255

    Recognized datex/skills Git checkouts, worktrees, and installation paths pointing into them are never written to, even with --force. Unmanaged skills are reported without being adopted; retired skills stay in place.

  • Clearer health reportsNew#255

    Results show installation scope, location, provenance, agent placement, health and the repair command to run. Directory conflicts stay visible until resolved, and reports include scan limits and access errors. Inspection is offline; repairs authenticate only when needed.

Before you upgrade

What might need a change on your side

  • Repair scope. Plain dxs skills doctor --fix can repair nearby projects found by its parent-directory scan. Use --user --fix or --project --fix to target one scope.
  • Doctor exit status. Unhealthy or legacy Datex installations, corrupt records, scan access errors and an exhausted directory budget exit 1. Unmanaged skills, protected checkouts and an empty inventory do not.
  • Refresh skills after upgrading. Run dxs skills update, then dxs skills doctor to check local health.
