> This is a method of the [**SkillManager**](../classes/SkillManager) class in the [**manager**](../modules/manager) module.

Get metadata for all available skills.

This is used for system prompt injection. Skills are filtered by:

1. disable-model-invocation: true (excluded)
2. Capability enforcement (if strict mode, exclude UNAVAILABLE skills)
3. Graceful-degradation fallbacks: a skill that declares
   `fallback_for_tools` / `fallback_for_servers` is offered only
   when the referenced capability is ABSENT.
