A catalog of Amplifier Smart Tools. Browse the catalog or the website.
Install the Amplifier Smart Tools skill. It reads this catalog to find and install tools, drives them through their own help, and covers creating a tool and adding it here.
npx skills add microsoft/amplifier-smart-toolsThen ask your agent for a Smart Tool for the task. The skill normally reads the catalog from GitHub; to use a local checkout instead, give your agent that path. Adding the skill does not install Smart Tools or configure credentials.
How source pointers and automatic refresh work
Each tools/<slug>/source.json points to an upstream repository. Optional ref
selects a branch, tag, or commit and defaults to main. Optional path selects
the tool's distribution root and defaults to the repository root.
The refresh action generates exact SMART_TOOL.md snapshots and provenance
after source changes reach main, daily, and on manual dispatch. Changes to
the refresh implementation also trigger it.
Tools own their manifests and usage help. The skill reads the snapshots first and follows upstream guidance when needed. A recorded refresh time says when the last refresh succeeded, not that the snapshot is currently fresh. Failed source refreshes preserve the previous snapshot and appear in the action logs.
Submit catalog pull requests with source pointers only: add or update
tools/<slug>/source.json and do not hand-copy generated SMART_TOOL.md or
provenance.json files. After a source pointer merges to main, the refresh
workflow generates snapshots and provenance.
