From the SKILL.md

# Agent Management Use `ai-devkit agent ...`; if unavailable, use `npx ai-devkit@latest agent ...`. ## Workflow 1. List agents: `ai-devkit agent list --json`. 2. Identify self: compare your current session id to `sessionId` from `list --json` 3. Inspect before acting: `ai-devkit agent detail --id <name> --json --tail 20`. 4. Reuse idle agents when suitable; otherwise start one with `agent start`. 5. Send self-contained assignments. Track each agent's task and last instruction. 6. Verify completed work before reporting it done. Use `$agent-communication` for agent-to-agent updates. ## Commands ```bash ai-devkit agent list --json ai-devkit agent detail --id <name> --json --tail 20 ai-devkit agent start --type codex --name <name> --cwd <path> ai-devkit agent send --id <name> "<single-line instruction>" ai-devkit agent send --id <name> --wait --timeout 120000 --json "<single-line instruction>" ai-devkit agent send --group <group> "<single-line instruction>" ai-devkit agent sessions --cwd <path> --type codex --json --limit 20 ai-devkit agent rename <old-name> <new-name> ai-devkit agent kill <name> ``` Use exact names from `list --json`.

About this skill
What does the agent-management skill do?

AI DevKit · Manage running AI agents with ai-devkit agent commands. Use when an agent needs to identify itself, list agents, start workers, inspect agent detail, assign work, group agents, resume sessions, stop agents, or delegate work to other agents.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add codeaholicguy/ai-devkit --skill agent-management --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From codeaholicguy/ai-devkit, a repository with 1,572 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
