Re-copy the bundled version of every skill that is already installed, into exactly the scope and agent locations where it is present. This is the by-hand twin of the upgrade's "Refresh skills" step and never adds a skill: install --all-agents is not a substitute, since it installs every agent into the chosen scope. --dry-run lists the targets, --json prints them.
| Flag | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
--dry-run | List what would be refreshed without writing | |
--json | Output as JSON |
systhema skills listLink to this section
List bundled skills and their install status.
Options:
| Flag | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
--agent <agents> | Filter by agent(s): claude,cursor,... | |
--json | Output as JSON | |
--name <name> | Filter to a single skill | |
--scope <scopes> | Filter by scope(s): project,user |
systhema skills installLink to this section
Install bundled skills to agent skill directories. Skills go into per-user (~/.agents/skills/) or per-project (.agents/skills/) directories, depending on scope.
Options:
| Flag | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
--agent <agents> | Agent(s): claude,cursor,... (comma-separated) | |
--all-agents | Install for all supported agents | |
--json | Output as JSON | |
--mcp | Also connect the systhema-docs MCP server | |
--name <name> | Install only the named skill | |
--scope <scopes> | Scope(s): project,user (comma-separated) |
Once a skill is installed, systhema upgrade keeps it current automatically — its Refresh skills step re-copies the now-bundled version into the locations where you already have it (skip with --no-skills). You only re-run skills install to add a skill to a new scope or agent.
