How to use this skill

Bring this guide into your coding agent with a prompt tailored to the tool you use.

  1. Open your project in Codex.

  3. Review files and risks before approving any action.
Prompt to paste
Inspect the Agent Skill at https://github.com/majiayu000/claude-skill-registry/blob/HEAD/skills/skills/skill-docs-updater/SKILL.md and all supporting files.

Skill Docs Updater

Keeps the skills table in SKILLS-INDEX.md in sync.

When to Use

  • After creating a new skill with skill-writer
  • After modifying an existing skill's name or description
  • When skills are added, removed, or renamed

Process

Step 1: Scan Skills Directory

List all directories in arsenal/dot-claude/skills/:

ls arsenal/dot-claude/skills/

Step 2: Read Each SKILL.md

For each skill directory, read the SKILL.md file and extract:

  • name from YAML frontmatter
  • description from YAML frontmatter

If no frontmatter exists, derive name from directory name and description from first paragraph.

Step 3: Generate Skills Table

Create a markdown table with all skills:

| Skill | When to Use |
|-------|-------------|
| `skill-name` | Short description of when to use |

Step 4: Replace Content Between Markers

Look for these markers in arsenal/dot-claude/skills/SKILLS-INDEX.md and replace content between them:

<!-- AUTO-GENERATED:SKILLS-TABLE:START -->
(replace this content)
<!-- AUTO-GENERATED:SKILLS-TABLE:END -->

Step 5: Sync to .claude/

After updating the index, run:

./arsenal/install.sh

This copies the updated SKILLS-INDEX.md to .claude/skills/.

Target File

arsenal/dot-claude/skills/SKILLS-INDEX.md

Notes

  • Preserve all content outside the markers
  • Sort skills alphabetically by name
  • Keep descriptions concise (one line)
  • Always scan arsenal/dot-claude/ (source of truth), not .claude/ (generated copy)
  • Run ./arsenal/install.sh after to sync changes
