SKILLS_DIRNoCustom path to skills directory. If not set, defaults are used.

Instructions

Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.

This server publishes no instructions, or was last inspected before Glama recorded them.

Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
get_skillA

Loads specialized expert prompt instructions that transform your capabilities for specific tasks. Each skill provides comprehensive guidance, proven methodologies, and domain-specific best practices. Use when you need focused expertise, systematic approaches, or professional standards for any task that would benefit from specialized knowledge. Invoke with the skill name to receive detailed instructions that enhance your problem-solving approach with structured, expert-level guidance.

Available skills:

  • local-skills-mcp-guide: Repository implementation guide for the local-skills-mcp codebase. Use when asked: how src/index.ts and src/skill-loader.ts work together; where MCP tool handlers are defined and registered; how getAllSkillsDirectories priority and override behavior works; how local-skills-mcp discovers skills and merges metadata across directories; where validate_skill and evaluate_skill are implemented in this repository; or how integration tests are structured in this local-skills-mcp project.

  • local-skills-mcp-usage: Operational guide for using Local Skills MCP in day-to-day projects. Use when asked: where skills should live (~/.claude/skills, ./.claude/skills, ./skills, SKILLS_DIR); directory precedence and override rules; how to configure local-skills-mcp in Claude Code mcp.json; fastest way to create a new skill folder and make it discoverable; how to add project skills to git so the team gets them; or how Local Skills MCP hot-reloads skill edits without restarting.

  • skill-creator: Use this skill when building, writing, reviewing, or fixing a SKILL.md file for a new or existing skill. Covers choosing skill names, writing and correcting YAML frontmatter (name and description fields), crafting effective 'Use when' trigger phrases, structuring skill body instructions, improving an existing skill's routing quality with better trigger keywords, and interpreting or evaluating a skill description against an eval set using validate_skill or evaluate_skill.

validate_skillB

Validates a SKILL.md file against name/description/frontmatter rules and returns errors + warnings.

evaluate_skillA

Runs Anthropic skill-creator eval loop for a skill (requires Python, Claude CLI auth, and an eval set JSON; legacy layouts may also require ANTHROPIC_API_KEY + anthropic package).

TDQS

A3.7/5.0

Scored across 3 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a distinct purpose: validate_skill validates SKILL.md files, get_skill loads skill instructions, evaluate_skill runs an evaluation loop. No overlap.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (evaluate_skill, get_skill, validate_skill), making the API predictable.

Tool Count4/5

Three tools is slightly minimal for a skill management system, but covers core operations. A few more (e.g., create_skill, list_skills) could improve completeness without being excessive.

Completeness2/5

Missing basic lifecycle operations: no tool to create, update, or delete skills. The get_skill tool lists available skills but this is atypical. Validation and evaluation alone are insufficient for managing a skill inventory.
