ink-skills
Ink-native skills: small on-demand behavior patches for operating Ink, defining subagents, and creating permission-bearing external tools.
This repository owns reusable Ink judgment. Ink owns runtime enforcement and
policy. toolset owns compiled external
executables. Skills never grant authority by themselves.
Install
Clone once, then symlink the skills you want:
git clone git@git.tmk241.com:tmk241/ink-skills.git
ink-skills/bin/ink-skills install
If the repository is already under /opt/repositories:
/opt/repositories/ink-skills/bin/ink-skills install
Install selected skills only:
ink-skills install ink-cli configure-ink-agent
Install into one project instead of the user catalogue:
ink-skills install --project /path/to/project configure-ink-agent
The installer is intentionally smaller than npx skills: no registry, package
manager, network access, copies, prompts, lockfile, or hidden state. It creates
absolute symlinks from $HOME/.ink/skills (or $INK_SKILLS_HOME) to this
checkout. Pulling the repository updates installed skills; restarting Ink freezes
the new bytes into the next startup snapshot.
ink-skills list emits TSV. ink-skills --help is the complete command manual.
Existing paths and foreign symlinks are refused rather than overwritten.
Skills
| Skill | Job |
|---|---|
ink-cli |
Audit and explain the Ink host without crossing the host/guest boundary. |
configure-ink-agent |
Create or audit one Ink agent definition, access class, and relative policy conjunct. |
create-ink-agent-cli-tool |
Build one inspectable permission-bearing executable suitable for Ink policy admission. |
Agent definitions and policy
Agent definitions live in $INK_AGENT_HOME (default $HOME/.ink/agents) or
project .ink/agents directories:
name: Frontend specialist
model: design
access: write
policy: frontend.policy
Implement the bounded frontend task and return proof.
The policy path is relative to the definition. It is a normal Ink policy file and
narrows the frozen parent snapshot conjunctively. access: read|write selects
reader/writer scheduling; it does not grant commands or tools. Definitions and
policy files are frozen at startup, so restart Ink after changing either.
Use the configure-ink-agent skill for the complete decision boundary.

Refusals
- No npm package merely to create symlinks.
- No skill registry or update daemon.
- No policy mutation during installation.
- No bundled binaries; those belong in
toolset. - No automatic installation by Ink itself.
