Ran the bundled scripts live: check-global-skills.cjs correctly enumerated all 25 real skills in ~/.claude/skills on the test machine, and view-recommendations.cjs/check-conflicts.cjs produced real, versioned, rule-based recommendations (not generic LLM guesses). But the skill's actual title verbs -- enable/disable/audit -- all route through `npm start`/`server.js`/`lib/skillStore.js`, which live at the parent Skillcaddy repo root, outside the `skills/skillcaddy-manager/` folder that our required install method copies; a bare verbatim copy loses that core management function, and the Health Check section also hardcodes the author's own machine path (/Users/chenweilong/.codex/...).
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 4/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 7/10
- Docs & honesty 2/5
What Skillcaddy Manager does
Lists, enables/disables, audits, and health-checks skills in a Skillcaddy-managed library (project + global scope, Codex and Claude Code). Triggers on requests to list available skills, enable/disable one skill or a whole source, audit a project's skill setup, detect duplicate names or broken symlinks, or get curated onboarding/conflict recommendations for a skill library.
How to install Skillcaddy Manager
git clone https://github.com/chenweil/skillcaddy
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skillcaddy/skills/skillcaddy-manager ~/.claude/skills/skillcaddy-manager
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Skillcaddy Manager skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from chenweil/skillcaddy. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Skillcaddy Manager work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 16, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup.

- 7.2/10 — installs cleanly 4/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 7/10, docs & honesty 2/5.
- How do I install Skillcaddy Manager?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Skillcaddy Manager with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
