152 automotive engineering Agent Skills — 76 builder/reviewer pairs — converted from Claude Code .skill archives into Manus skill directories.
This repository is a format conversion of jherrodthomas/automotive-skills-suite [1], which distributes its skills as 152 self-contained .skill ZIP archives intended for Claude Code and Claude Desktop. Manus loads skills from directories on a filesystem rather than from archives, so every archive here has been unpacked and re-laid-out to match the Manus skill anatomy: a SKILL.md at the skill root, with optional scripts/, references/, and templates/ subdirectories [2].
The conversion is deliberately conservative. Instruction text, Python scripts, and reference documents are reproduced byte for byte — all 1,253 source files were verified by SHA-256 digest after conversion. No SKILL.md frontmatter was rewritten, because the upstream frontmatter already satisfies Manus requirements: each file carries exactly a name and a description, each name is hyphen-case and matches its directory, and every description sits comfortably below the 1,024-character limit. What changed is the packaging, not the engineering content.

The suite encodes a single repeatable operating model rather than 152 unrelated tricks. Every engineering artifact in the automotive safety, cybersecurity, and quality lifecycle is covered twice: once by a builder that produces the artifact, and once by a reviewer that audits it.
A builder interviews the engineer for structured inputs, writes them to a JSON file, and generates a multi-tab .xlsx deliverable with live formulas, consistent styling, and traceability columns. Many builders additionally read an upstream workbook, so the JSON plus the upstream artifact remain the source of truth and the generated workbook is a derived product. A reviewer takes an existing workbook — whether produced by the paired builder or supplied by a supplier — probes it with a domain-specific extractor, evaluates it against codified check definitions, and writes a separate checklist workbook containing an executive summary, per-check findings, recommended actions, and a KPI dashboard. Reviewers never modify the artifact under review; gaps land in the recommended-actions tab instead.
Every builder is paired with a reviewer for confirmation-measures compliance. Reviewers never modify source artifacts — gaps land in Recommended Actions.
— source repository README [1]
This division matters for ISO 26262 work in particular, where confirmation measures must be performed with a degree of independence from the authoring activity. Keeping the builder and the reviewer as distinct skills with distinct instructions mirrors that separation instead of collapsing it into one prompt.
The suite's real value is the chain: downstream skills consume upstream skills' workbooks as stable file-format contracts, so a change at the top propagates predictably. The primary functional-safety chain and the four parallel chains are reproduced below from the source repository's own description [1].

Safety Case (capstone)
| Chain | Sequence | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Functional safety concept | Item Definition → Safety Plan → DIA, then HARA → FSC → TSC → HW and SW lanes → Safety Case | ISO 26262 |
| Cybersecurity | TARA → Cybersecurity Goals → Cybersecurity Concept → Cybersecurity Architecture → Incident Response Plan and Secure Coding Guidelines | ISO/SAE 21434, UN R155 |
| SOTIF | SOTIF Analysis → Triggering Conditions → Validation Strategy | ISO 21448 |
| Production quality | APQP Plan → DFMEA → PFMEA → Control Plan → PPAP Package | IATF 16949, AIAG-VDA |
| Process improvement | ASPICE Assessment → Gap Analysis → Improvement Plan → Process Evidence | Automotive SPICE PAM |
These handoffs are literal, not conceptual. fsc-builder reads a HARA workbook produced by hara-builder; tsc-builder reads the resulting FSC workbook; fmeda-builder and the rest of the hardware lane read the TSC workbook. Thirteen builders name their upstream producer explicitly in their instructions, and tsc-builder is referenced by four downstream skills, making it the busiest junction in the chain. Because the contract is a worksheet layout rather than an API, a reviewer workbook from one vendor's spreadsheet can often be produced without ever running the paired builder.
Manus offers four ways to add a skill from the Skills tab in the left-hand menu, via the + Add button: build from a conversation, upload a file, browse the official library, or import from GitHub [2] [3].
The GitHub import path expects a repository whose SKILL.md sits at the root level, alongside its scripts/, references/, or templates/ directories [3]:
To share a Skill on GitHub, simply create a public repository that contains your
SKILL.mdfile at the root level, along with any necessaryscripts/,references/, ortemplates/directories.— Manus Help Center [3]
In the Manus interface, open Skills → + Add → Import from GitHub, paste a repository URL, and click Import.
Because this repository is a monorepo of 152 skills, the most reliable path is to hand Manus one packaged skill at a time. The Upload a skill dialog accepts a .skill file, a .zip archive, or a plain folder [2] [3]. A helper script is included to produce those archives:
git clone https://github.com/jherrodthomas/manus-automotive-skills-suite.git
cd manus-automotive-skills-suite
# Package one skill, or a specific set
python3 tools/package_skills.py hara-builder hara-checklist-reviewer
# Package the entire suite (152 archives into dist/)
python3 tools/package_skills.py
# Emit .zip instead of .skill if you prefer
python3 tools/package_skills.py --ext zip hara-builderEach archive is written to dist/ with the skill name as its internal root directory, which is the layout both Manus and Claude Code expect. Drag the resulting file into Skills → + Add → Upload a skill. Alternatively, skip packaging entirely and drag the skills/hara-builder/ folder straight into the same dialog, since folder upload is supported.
Once a skill is in your library, invoke it in chat by typing / and selecting it, or simply describe the task — each skill's description field is written as a trigger surface listing artifact names, standards, and casual phrasings such as "I need the safety analysis for this ECU", so the agent will usually reach for the right skill unprompted.
There is no supported one-click path to install 152 skills at once. The documented GitHub import expects a single root-level SKILL.md, whereas this repository intentionally nests 152 of them under skills/<name>/SKILL.md to keep the suite navigable and version-controlled as one unit. Pointing the GitHub importer at this repository root therefore does not fan out into 152 separate library entries.
Four practical workarounds exist, in rough order of effort:
| Approach | How | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Install on demand | Package and upload only the skills a given program needs. A typical ISO 26262 concept-phase engagement needs six to eight skills, not 152. | Lowest effort, and keeps your skill library legible. This is the recommended default. |
| Batch upload | Run python3 tools/package_skills.py once, then upload the archives from dist/ in groups through the upload dialog. |
Still a manual dialog per file, but no repository restructuring. |
| Per-skill repositories | Publish each skills/<name>/ directory as its own small public repository so each one has a root-level SKILL.md, then use Import from GitHub per skill. |
152 repositories to create and maintain; only worth it if you want individually citable GitHub URLs. |
| Sandbox-side install | Ask Manus to clone this repository inside its sandbox and copy the directories into /home/ubuntu/skills/. Manus reads skills from that path during a session. |
Fast and scriptable, but session-scoped rather than a permanent library entry. |
A short prompt covering the last option:
Clone https://github.com/jherrodthomas/manus-automotive-skills-suite, then copy
skills/hara-builder,skills/fsc-builder, andskills/tsc-builderinto/home/ubuntu/skills/and confirm each SKILL.md loads.
Manus explicitly recommends reviewing community skills before use, since they carry executable code [2]. That advice applies here: this suite ships 849 Python scripts, and one of them is known to be broken upstream (see Known defects). A reasonable first prompt after importing anything from this repository:
Review the skill named
fmeda-builder. Analyze its SKILL.md and every script underscripts/. Explain what it does, flag any risky operations, and tell me whether it is safe to run.
Every skill in the suite runs on the same small toolchain. Nothing needs to be installed to read a skill; these are required only when you execute a builder or reviewer script.
| Dependency | Required by | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Python 3.10 or newer | All 152 skills | 306 scripts declare from __future__ import annotations and the codebase uses PEP 585 generics such as list[str] and dict[str, int]. Verified end to end on Python 3.12. |
openpyxl |
All 152 skills | The sole third-party requirement for normal operation, with 1,259 import sites. Install with pip3 install openpyxl. Verified against openpyxl 3.1.5. |
LibreOffice (soffice) |
Optional, all skills that ship scripts/recalc.py |
Builders write live formulas but cannot compute their cached values. recalc.py drives headless LibreOffice to evaluate every formula and re-save, so the workbook shows numbers rather than blanks in viewers that do not recalculate. Skip it and the formulas still recompute the moment the file is opened in Excel or LibreOffice. A bundled scripts/office/soffice.py helper works around blocked AF_UNIX sockets in sandboxed environments. |
graphviz Python package plus Graphviz system binaries |
fsc-builder only |
Used by scripts/fault_tree_renderer.py to render one fault tree per safety goal. Install with pip3 install graphviz and sudo apt-get install graphviz. The FSC workbook still generates without it; only the rendered tree images are lost. |
# Minimum viable environment
pip3 install openpyxl
# Full environment, including fault-tree rendering and formula recalculation
pip3 install openpyxl graphviz
sudo apt-get install -y graphviz libreofficeOne builder, tsc-builder, additionally exports a .drawio architecture diagram. That file is written as plain XML and needs no extra dependency; open it at app.diagrams.net or in the draw.io desktop application.
Every builder has exactly one reviewer and every reviewer has exactly one builder: 76 pairs, zero unpaired builders, zero orphaned reviewers. The naming convention is mechanical, which makes the pairing derivable in code:
<base>-builder ⟷ <base>-checklist-reviewer
So hara-builder pairs with hara-checklist-reviewer, dfmea-builder with dfmea-checklist-reviewer, and so on for 74 of the 76 pairs.
Two reviewers were published under a shortened base name and therefore cannot be found by string substitution. Any tool that pairs these skills automatically must consult the alias registry first, or it will report two false orphans.
| Builder | Paired reviewer | Why the name differs |
|---|---|---|
item-definition-builder |
item-def-checklist-reviewer |
The reviewer shipped with the shortened base item-def. Its internal frontmatter name and every external reference already use that form, so renaming it would break installed copies for no functional gain. |
ppap-package-builder |
ppap-checklist-reviewer |
The reviewer covers the entire PPAP package under the shorter base ppap, and the same rename blast radius applies. |
The upstream repository adopted the alias path as canonical rather than renaming the files, and documented the decision in docs/PAIRING_ALIASES.md [4]. This conversion preserves that decision verbatim. Both exceptions are encoded in tools/verify_skills.py, so the suite validates cleanly:
$ python3 tools/verify_skills.py
skills checked : 152
builders / reviewers : 76 / 76
pairs resolved : 76
python files parsed : 849
documented exceptions : 7 missing paths, 1 unparsable script
All checks passed.Each converted skill follows the Manus anatomy [2]. Progressive disclosure means the description is always in context at roughly 100 tokens, the SKILL.md body loads only when the skill triggers, and bundled resources load only when the instructions reach for them — which is why the reference documents live in separate files rather than inline.

Reviewer skills follow a parallel shape, typically scripts/<domain>_probe.py to extract the workbook contents, scripts/check_definitions.py to hold the codified criteria, scripts/generate_checklist.py to write the output workbook, and scripts/dashboard.py to draw the KPI tiles and charts.
The conversion brief called for renaming examples/ to templates/ where the contents are genuinely templates. The 39 JSON files qualify — they are worked inputs meant to be copied and edited for a new project, which is precisely the role templates/ plays in the Manus layout. The four XLSX files do not; they are finished demonstration outputs, so they were filed under references/examples/.
Moving the directory outright would have broken something, however. Forty-six SKILL.md bodies and seven Python docstrings cite examples/<file>.json by literal path, and the brief also required preserving those texts verbatim. Rather than choose between a correct layout and correct instructions, this conversion provides both: JSON examples appear under templates/ where a Manus-native reader expects them, and the original examples/ copy is retained so that every documented path still resolves. The duplication accounts for 43 of the 1,296 files in skills/, roughly 300 KB.

MANIFEST.md is the machine-readable companion to this document. It carries suite totals, a numbered pair index, per-domain skill tables with asset counts, the alias registry, the full source-to-destination provenance mapping, the known-defect register, and the verification record. It is generated from the converted tree rather than hand-maintained, so its counts cannot drift from the skills it indexes.
Skills are grouped by engineering domain using the same ordered prefix rules the source repository applied when generating its status report [5], so the domain labels here match upstream. Each row is a pair: the named builder plus its confirmation reviewer.

Each .skill archive is a ZIP whose single top-level directory is named after the archive. All 152 unpacked cleanly with the root directory matching the filename stem, and each contained exactly one SKILL.md. The mapping applied to every package was:
| Source path inside the archive | Destination in this repository | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
SKILL.md |
SKILL.md |
Byte-identical. Frontmatter was already Manus-compatible. |
scripts/** |
scripts/** |
Byte-identical, including the nested scripts/office/ helper package, so intra-script imports keep working. |
references/** |
references/** |
Byte-identical. |
examples/*.json |
templates/*.json, plus a retained examples/*.json |
Worked inputs are templates; the retained copy keeps documented paths valid. |
examples/*.xlsx |
references/examples/*.xlsx, plus a retained examples/*.xlsx |
Demonstration outputs are reference material, not inputs. |
sw-hsis-builder/README.md |
references/source_README.md |
Auxiliary human-facing documentation, kept out of the skill body per Manus guidance that skills should not carry README files [2]. |
secure-coding-guidelines-builder/test_builder.py |
scripts/test_builder.py |
Executable code belongs under scripts/. |
.placeholder in four aspice-*-builder packages |
dropped | Zero-byte ZIP padding artifacts with no content. |
Three classes of pre-existing defect were found in the source archives. All were confirmed by listing the original ZIP members directly, so none is an artifact of this conversion. Because the brief required verbatim preservation of instructions and scripts, none was silently patched; they are documented instead.
| Skill | Defect | Practical effect |
|---|---|---|
bus-load-analysis-checklist-reviewer |
scripts/check_definitions.py is truncated mid-statement at line 191, leaving the CHECKS dictionary opened on line 174 unclosed. The archive's ZIP CRC validates and the extracted digest matches the stored stream, so the truncation is in the bytes upstream shipped. |
The module raises SyntaxError on import, so this one reviewer cannot generate its checklist until the file is repaired. The paired bus-load-analysis-builder is unaffected. |
cdd-checklist-reviewer, dtc-catalog-checklist-reviewer |
Both SKILL.md files instruct reading references/methodology.md and a domain checks file, but neither archive contains a references/ directory at all. |
Those two reads fail. Each reviewer's criteria still live in scripts/check_definitions.py, which is intact, so the checklist itself generates. |
dtc-catalog-builder, dem-config-builder, odx-builder |
Each SKILL.md cites examples/sample_input.json, which is absent from the corresponding archive. |
No worked input example. The JSON schema is documented in the docstring at the top of each builder's generator script, which is the practical fallback. |
Repairing these would mean editing upstream content, which is out of scope for a format conversion. They are good first contributions back to the source repository.
Conversion fidelity was checked mechanically rather than by inspection.
| Gate | Result |
|---|---|
| Archives unpacked | 152 of 152, every archive root matching its filename stem |
| SHA-256 byte identity, source to destination | 1,253 source files verified across 1,296 destination paths |
| Source files left unmapped | 0, excluding the four zero-byte .placeholder artifacts |
| Frontmatter validation | 152 of 152 pass: name and description only, hyphen-case names matching directory names, all descriptions within the 1,024-character limit and free of angle brackets |
Relative paths cited in SKILL.md bodies |
All resolve, except the seven documented upstream gaps |
| Python parse check across 849 scripts | 1 pre-existing failure, 0 introduced by the conversion |
| Builder/reviewer pairing | 76 complete pairs, 0 unpaired builders, 0 orphaned reviewers |
| End-to-end functional test | hara-builder generated a 900-row HARA workbook from templates/sample_input_esc.json, and hara-checklist-reviewer audited that workbook into a separate checklist file without modifying it |
Re-run the structural portion at any time with python3 tools/verify_skills.py, which needs only the Python standard library.
