How to generate an always-current skill index for your agent with Agent Skill Sync

Build INDEX.md and inventory.json so an agent reads a file that matches the real skill folders.

Short answer: Install the CLI with pipx install agent-skill-sync; then run skillsync index --out ./output --lang zh to write INDEX.md and inventory.json; open the generated INDEX.md and check that each skill shows its category and the reason for it. All steps.

Who it is forA developer who keeps a hand-written tool-reuse skill for their agent and is tired of it going stale.

The problemA hand-maintained index rots as soon as a skill is added or changed upstream.

The outcomeA generated INDEX.md and inventory.json you can commit, or place in a tool-reuse skill for the agent to read.

What you need first

  • Python 3.11 or newer
  • Local SKILL.md skill folders for Codex, Claude Code or other supported agents
  • pipx or pip to install the agent-skill-sync package

Steps

  1. Install the CLI with pipx install agent-skill-sync.
  2. Run skillsync index --out ./output --lang zh to write INDEX.md and inventory.json.
  3. Open the generated INDEX.md and check that each skill shows its category and the reason for it.
  4. Schedule the same index command on a timer or a git hook so the file stays current.

Prompt for your agent

Use the agent-skill-sync repo to regenerate the skill index. Run `skillsync index --out <output-dir> --lang zh` and confirm that INDEX.md and inventory.json were written. Expected output: two files in <output-dir>. Verify that inventory.json lists the same skills that `skillsync scan` shows.

Caveat. The index only reflects the source roots the tool can find, so add custom roots in skillsync.toml if your skills live elsewhere.
