SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Managing AI agent skills across projects and platforms involves repetitive CLI commands, scope decisions, and error-prone manual file operations. This Skill translates user intent into the correct nxa CLI commands for installing, upgrading, removing, exporting, and troubleshooting Nexus Skills without treating installed copies as editable source files. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Scoped Install Management: Install individual skills or packs to project or global directories targeting GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Codex, or the Agent Skills standard. - Safe Upgrade and Removal Workflows: Perform narrow skill-specific upgrades with confirmation handling, and uninstall skills by removing exactly one folder since nxa has no uninstall command. - Install Troubleshooting: Diagnose stale installed copies, wrong scope, missing skills, and routing failures using bundled reference guides. - Use Case: A developer wants to update only the skill-evaluator skill in their project for GitHub Copilot. The Skill detects the context, builds nxa install --upgrade --skill skill-evaluator -a github-copilot, explains the replacement behavior, and verifies the result. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to install a specific Nexus Skill into this project for GitHub Copilot and verify the installed copy.

Frequently Asked Questions about agents-nexus-skills-manager

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I install a Nexus Skill into my project for GitHub Copilot?▼

Run the nxa install command with --skill followed by the skill name, --project for project scope, and -a github-copilot as the agent target. Inside a cloned Nexus Skills repo use node bin/nxa.js; outside the repo use npx nxa.

How do I uninstall a skill with the nxa CLI?▼

The nxa CLI has no uninstall command, so removal is done by deleting exactly one skill folder from the resolved target directory. Confirm the scope, agent target path, and exact folder name before deleting, then verify neighboring skill folders remain.

Can I install skills globally for Claude Code and Codex at the same time?▼

Yes, add --global for user-level scope and repeat the -a or --agent flag for each target, such as -a claude-code -a codex. Global installs should only be used when explicitly requested since they affect all repositories.

Why is my installed skill not updating after I edited the source?▼

Installed skill directories are generated copies and do not update automatically when source files change. Run nxa install --upgrade --skill followed by the skill name to replace the installed copy, then verify the updated SKILL.md content.

What should I do when the upgrade prompt lists skills I did not want to replace?▼

Decline the broad upgrade prompt, because a plain --upgrade replaces every installed skill in the target directory. Rerun the command with --skill or --pack to narrow the operation to only the skills you intended to refresh.
