Problem or Motivation
The current skill system has no user-facing management interface. Users cannot see what skills are available, search them, or enable/disable specific skills. As the skill ecosystem grows, users need a way to discover and control skills — similar to how Claude Code provides /skills for interactive skill management.
Proposed Solution
1. /skills — Interactive skill management UI
Typing /skills opens a full-screen interactive picker (similar to the existing /resume picker), showing all discovered skills with their status:
Skills
5 skills · Space to cycle, Enter to save, / to search, t to sort, Esc to cancel
⊘ Search skills...
✓ on iac-aliyun · bundled · ~1.2k tok
✓ on simplify · bundled · ~800 tok
✓ on team-review · project · ~400 tok · .iac-code/skills/
✗ off untrusted-skill · project · ~300 tok · .iac-code/skills/
✓ on my-deploy · user · ~600 tok
Features:
- Fuzzy search — type to filter by name or description
- Toggle on/off — Space to cycle enable/disable state
- Sort — by name, source, or size
- Save — Enter to persist changes; Esc to cancel
Disabled skills are persisted in ~/.iac-code/settings.yml:
disabled_skills:
- untrusted-skill
2. $ prefix to invoke skills inline
Users can invoke a skill by typing $skill-name (with autocomplete), as a lightweight alternative to the model invoking skills via the SkillTool:
This is useful for user-invocable skills that don't need to be triggered by the model.

Skills System
Additional Context
The skill discovery system (src/iac_code/skills/discovery.py) already collects skills from bundled, user, and project sources. The /skills UI would reuse the existing FuzzyPicker component from src/iac_code/ui/components/fuzzy_picker.py.
Security note: Project skills from untrusted repos can contain shell commands. The disable feature gives users a way to prevent these from executing without modifying the repository.
