Agent Skill Loader 🧠

npm version MCP Registry License: MIT Node.js Version TypeScript MCP

Agent Skill Loader — это сервер протокола Model Context Protocol (MCP), который служит мостом между вашей статической библиотекой навыков Claude Code и динамическими AI-агентами (такими как Claude Desktop, Cursor или любой другой MCP-клиент).

Он предоставляет навыки как в виде MCP-промптов (команды с косой чертой, не требующие вызова инструментов), так и в виде MCP-инструментов (для программного использования). Навыки автоматически обнаруживаются в настроенных директориях и остаются активными — добавьте новый SKILL.md, и клиент получит уведомление автоматически.

🚀 Функции

  • MCP-промпты: Навыки отображаются как команды с косой чертой в клиентах. Для их внедрения не требуется вызов инструментов.

  • Живые обновления: Уведомление listChanged срабатывает при добавлении или удалении навыков (через файловый наблюдатель).

  • Обнаружение: list_skills — сканирует настроенные директории навыков с опциональным фильтром поиска.

  • Динамическое обучение: read_skill — извлекает содержимое SKILL.md.

  • Постоянство: install_skill — копирует навык в ваш проект на постоянной основе.

  • Конфигурация: manage_search_paths — добавление/удаление директорий навыков во время выполнения.

  • Устранение неполадок: debug_info — диагностика конфигурации и проблем с путями.

🛠️ Установка

Предварительные требования

  • Node.js >= 18

Вариант А: Установка из npm (рекомендуется)

npm install -g agent-skill-loader

Затем зарегистрируйте в .mcp.json:

"agent-skill-loader": {
  "command": "agent-skill-loader"
}

Вариант Б: Сборка из исходного кода

git clone https://github.com/back1ply/agent-skill-loader.git
cd agent-skill-loader
npm install
npm run build

Затем зарегистрируйте в .mcp.json:

"agent-skill-loader": {
  "command": "node",
  "args": ["<path-to-repo>/build/index.js"]
}

📂 Конфигурация

Сервер автоматически определяет рабочую область и собирает пути к навыкам из:

  1. По умолчанию: %USERPROFILE%\.claude\plugins\cache (стандартное расположение)

  2. Динамическая конфигурация: skill-paths.json (находится в корне проекта)

Переменные окружения

Переменная

Описание

MCP_SKILL_PATHS

JSON-массив или список дополнительных путей к навыкам, разделенных точкой с запятой или запятой

MCP_WORKSPACE_ROOT

Переопределение автоматически определенного корня рабочей области

MCP_NO_WATCH

Установите 1 для отключения файлового наблюдателя (полезно в CI)

Управление динамическими путями

Вам не нужно вручную редактировать файлы конфигурации. Используйте инструмент для управления путями во время выполнения:

  • Добавить: manage_search_paths(operation="add", path="F:\\My\\Deep\\Skills")

  • Удалить: manage_search_paths(operation="remove", path="...")

  • Список: manage_search_paths(operation="list") создает/обновляет skill-paths.json.

🤖 Использование

MCP-промпты (команды с косой чертой)

Если ваш клиент поддерживает MCP-промпты (Claude Desktop, Cursor и т.д.), навыки автоматически появятся как команды с косой чертой. Выберите навык из меню команд, чтобы внедрить его содержимое напрямую — вызовы инструментов не требуются.

Инструменты

Агент имеет доступ к пяти инструментам:

  • list_skills(query?): Возвращает JSON-список доступных навыков. Опциональный query фильтрует по подстроке имени/описания (без учета регистра).

  • read_skill(skill_name): Возвращает инструкции в формате markdown для навыка.

  • install_skill(skill_name, target_path?): Копирует папку навыка в .agent/skills/<name>. В целях безопасности target_path должен находиться внутри текущей рабочей области.

  • manage_search_paths(operation, path?): Добавление, удаление или перечисление путей поиска навыков.

  • debug_info(): Возвращает диагностическую информацию (пути, статус, предупреждения).

Пример промпта агента

"Мне нужно написать меру DAX, но я не уверен в лучших практиках."

Агент автоматически вызовет list_skills, найдет writing-dax-measures, вызовет read_skill и ответит, используя экспертные знания. Или пользователь может вызвать навык напрямую как команду с косой чертой.

🔧 Устранение неполадок

Если навыки не обнаруживаются, используйте debug_info(), чтобы увидеть:

  • search_paths: Какие директории сканируются

  • path_status: Существует ли каждый путь и доступен ли он для чтения

  • warnings: Любые ошибки, возникшие во время сканирования (отказ в доступе, пустые файлы и т.д.)

Пример вывода:

{
  "workspace_root": "C:/projects/agent-skill-loader",
  "search_paths": {
    "base": ["C:/Users/pc/.claude/plugins/cache"],
    "dynamic": ["F:/My/Skills"],
    "effective": ["C:/Users/pc/.claude/plugins/cache", "F:/My/Skills"]
  },
  "path_status": [
    { "path": "C:/Users/pc/.claude/plugins/cache", "exists": true, "readable": true },
    { "path": "F:/My/Skills", "exists": false, "readable": false }
  ],
  "skills_found": 12,
  "warnings": [
    { "path": "F:/My/Skills", "reason": "Directory does not exist" }
  ]
}

📦 Структура проекта

  • src/index.ts: Основная логика сервера (инструменты + промпты + наблюдатель).

  • src/utils.ts: Сканирование навыков, извлечение описаний, помощники промптов, debounce.

  • build/: Скомпилированный JavaScript.

  • package.json: Зависимости (@modelcontextprotocol/sdk, chokidar, zod).

🤝 Участие в разработке

Чтобы добавить новые навыки, добавьте папку с файлом SKILL.md в одну из отслеживаемых директорий. Сервер автоматически подхватит их и отправит уведомление listChanged — перезапуск не требуется.

Available Tools

5 tools
debug_infoA
Read-only

Returns diagnostic information about server configuration, search paths, and any warnings from the last scan. Use this when skills aren't being found or to verify configuration.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=true, and the description adds details on the content of the diagnostic info, consistent with a read-only operation. No contradictions.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the tool's function and followed by usage context. No unnecessary words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple tool with no parameters and no output schema, the description adequately covers what the tool returns and when to use it.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Input schema has zero parameters, so schema coverage is 100%. Baseline of 4 is appropriate since no param explanation needed.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states it returns diagnostic information about server configuration, search paths, and warnings, using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools (which deal with skills) by being diagnostic.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly says to use it when skills aren't found or to verify configuration. Provides clear context, though it doesn't mention when not to use or alternatives.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

install_skillA
Destructive

Copies an entire skill directory (including SKILL.md and any supporting files) to the target workspace. By default, installs to .agent/skills/<skill_name> in the current working directory.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
skill_nameYesName of the skill to install
target_pathNoDestination path within current workspace. Defaults to .agent/skills/<skill_name>. Must be within the current working directory for security.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations set destructiveHint=true, and the description reinforces this with 'Copies... to target workspace' and adds details about path constraints (must be within current working directory). No contradictions.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences, front-loaded with key action, no wasted words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Explains main action, default path, and security constraint. Lacks information about return values or overwrite behavior, but is sufficient for a copy/install tool with no output schema.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Input schema covers both parameters with full descriptions. The description adds minimal extra value beyond the schema, only reiterating default behavior and workspace security.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action 'Copies an entire skill directory' and specifies the target workspace. It distinguishes from siblings like list_skills and read_skill by focusing on installation.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explains default behavior and security constraints, but does not explicitly state when not to use or suggest alternatives like list_skills or read_skill for non-destructive tasks.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

list_skillsA
Read-only

Returns a JSON list of all available skills with their names, descriptions, and source directories. Use this to discover what skills are available before reading or installing them.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
queryNoOptional filter: return only skills whose name or description contains this substring (case-insensitive)

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true; description reinforces readonly nature and adds detail about return fields (names, descriptions, source directories) without contradiction.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two concise, front-loaded sentences with zero wasted words; purpose and usage guidance are efficiently communicated.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given simplicity of tool, no output schema, description adequately explains return content (names, descriptions, source directories) and optional filtering, making it complete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% and description does not add meaning beyond the schema's parameter description; baseline of 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Clearly states tool returns a JSON list of all available skills with detailed fields, and distinguishes from sibling tools by mentioning its role before reading or installing.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly advises usage for discovery before reading or installing skills, providing clear context of when to use; could be improved by also stating when not to use.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

manage_search_pathsA
DestructiveIdempotent

Add, remove, or list dynamic skill search paths without restarting the server. Persists to skill-paths.json in the workspace root.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
pathNoAbsolute path to add or remove (not required for 'list')
operationYesOperation to perform

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare the safety profile (destructiveHint=true, readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=true), so the description's burden is lighter. It still adds meaningful behavior beyond the annotations by disclosing the persistence file (skill-paths.json in the workspace root) and the no-restart property, which tells the agent changes are durable and immediately effective.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two tight sentences with zero filler; the operation set and the persistence side effect are both stated up front with nothing redundant.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a small two-parameter, no-output-schema tool with annotations covering safety, the definition is nearly complete: it covers operations, persistence location, and the restart-free behavior. Minor gaps remain around error cases (invalid path, duplicates) and whether removal affects already-loaded skills.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so both parameters are already documented in the schema, including the note that path is unneeded for 'list'. The description adds no further syntax, format, or validation detail (e.g., whether the path must already exist), so it sits at the baseline for schema-covered parameters.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description names specific verbs (add, remove, list) and a precise resource (dynamic skill search paths), so the agent knows exactly what class of operation this is. It implicitly separates itself from the skill-content siblings (install_skill, read_skill) by scoping to search-path configuration, though it never names a sibling explicitly.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no guidance on when to reach for this tool versus install_skill or list_skills, nor any exclusion criteria or prerequisites. The operation enum implies the three modes but the description never states a use case that would select this tool over alternatives.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

read_skillA
Read-only

Fetches and returns the full SKILL.md content for a specific skill. The content includes instructions and context that can be used to learn the skill's capabilities.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
skill_nameYesThe name of the skill to read (e.g., 'writing-dax-measures')

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the description adds context about the content structure ('instructions and context'), but does not disclose other behavioral traits like error handling or limitations. No contradiction with annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is two sentences long, front-loaded with the primary purpose, and contains no extraneous information. Every sentence adds value.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's simplicity (single parameter, read-only), the description adequately explains the return value ('full SKILL.md content' with instructions and context). However, it omits details about potential errors or output format, but for a read tool this is sufficient.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema covers 100% of parameters and provides a clear description for 'skill_name.' The description does not add additional meaning beyond the schema, so baseline score of 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description explicitly states 'Fetches and returns the full SKILL.md content for a specific skill,' which clearly defines the action (fetch) and resource (SKILL.md content). It is distinct from siblings like list_skills (lists skill names) and install_skill (installs).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

While the description implies usage when needing full content of a skill, it does not explicitly state when to use it versus alternatives (e.g., when not to use, prerequisites). Guidance is inferred but not directly provided.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0

Scored across 5 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: manage_search_paths handles configuration, debug_info provides diagnostics, install_skill copies directories, list_skills enumerates available skills, and read_skill retrieves content. There is no meaningful overlap between them.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names use snake_case with a consistent verb_noun structure (manage_search_paths, debug_info, install_skill, list_skills, read_skill). The pattern is predictable and easy to parse.

Tool Count5/5

Five tools is well-scoped for a skill loader: discovery, reading, installation, path management, and debugging. Each tool earns its place without redundancy.

Completeness4/5

The core lifecycle of discovering, reading, and installing skills is covered, plus configuration and diagnostics. However, there is no tool to uninstall or remove an installed skill or update an existing one, which are minor gaps.
