SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Agent skills can fail installation due to malformed SKILL.md files, missing resources, or broken sub-scripts, leaving them stuck in an error state. This Skill diagnoses the failure, applies fixes to the installed files, and updates the manifest so the skill becomes usable again. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Error Diagnosis: Analyzes the reported installation error and inspects all files in the skill directory collectively to find the root cause. - Surgical Repair: Fixes issues directly at the installed path, including malformed SKILL.md frontmatter, missing resources, or incorrect sub-scripts. - Manifest Synchronization: Updates the skill's entry in manifest.json by setting status to "installed" and clearing the error field so the UI refreshes automatically. - Use Case: A skill named "data-export" fails to install because its SKILL.md has invalid YAML frontmatter. Use this Skill to fix the frontmatter at the installed path and mark the skill as installed in manifest.json. ## Quick Start Fix the broken skill that failed installation and update its entry in manifest.json to mark it as installed.

Frequently Asked Questions about skill-repair

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix an agent skill that failed installation?▼

Analyze the reported error message, then list all files in the skill's installed directory and inspect them collectively to find the root cause. Apply the fix to the installed files, then update manifest.json to set the skill's status to installed and clear the error field.

What causes agent skill installation failures?▼

Common causes include malformed SKILL.md frontmatter, missing resource files referenced by the skill, and incorrect or broken sub-scripts. Because skills can contain multiple files, all files in the directory must be analyzed together to identify the actual root cause.

How do I update manifest.json after repairing a skill?▼

Locate the skill's entry by its ID in the skills object of manifest.json. Set the status field to "installed" and clear the error field by setting it to null or removing it. The UI detects this change automatically and refreshes.

Why is my repaired skill still showing an error state?▼

The skill remains in an error state if manifest.json was not updated after the fix was applied. Verify the entry at the manifest path has status set to installed and the error field cleared, since the UI relies on this file to refresh skill status.

Should I fix the skill at the source path or installed path?▼

Fixes must be applied at the installed path where the skill is replicated, since that is the copy the system loads. After fixing all relevant installed files, update the manifest at the provided manifest path to reflect the repaired state.
