Skill Lifecycle Manager
This skill helps you maintain your library of GitHub-wrapped skills by automating the detection of updates and assisting in the refactoring process.
Core Capabilities
Audit: Scans your local skills folder for skills with github_url metadata.
Check: Queries GitHub (via git ls-remote) to compare local commit hashes against the latest remote HEAD.
Report: Generates a status report identifying which skills are "Stale" or "Current".
Update Workflow: Provides a structured process for the Agent to upgrade a skill.
Inventory Management: Lists all local skills and provides deletion capabilities.
Usage
Trigger: /skill-manager check or "Scan my skills for updates"
Trigger: /skill-manager list or "List my skills"
Trigger: /skill-manager delete <skill_name> or "Delete skill <skill_name>"

weaknesses
~workflow 1 is incomplete and vague - lists interactive steps but omits actual procedure (how does the upgrade execute, what are the preconditions, rollback strategy)
~zero edge case coverage - no mention of rate limits, auth failures, corrupted metadata, merge conflicts, or handling of non-github-tracked skills
~lacks decision-point clarity and output contracts - what happens if 50 skills are stale, how does agent decide which to upgrade, what constitutes success
