# gaal info

> Detailed view of a single repo, skill, MCP, or agent.

```bash theme={"theme":"nord"}
gaal info <repo|skill|mcp|agent> [name]
```

Prints a full information card for every entry of the given type, combining the configuration spec with the current runtime state. With a name (or substring), filters to matching entries.

## Types

| Type    | Shows                                                                                                          |
| ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `repo`  | URL, type, configured version vs current HEAD, dirty flag.                                                     |
| `skill` | Source, target agents, scope, selection filter, per-agent installation tree.                                   |
| `mcp`   | Server name, target agents and scope, resolved target file(s), inline definition, merge flag, dirty detection. |
| `agent` | Supported coding agent, skill directory paths, MCP config path, built-in vs custom.                            |

## Filter argument

The optional second argument is a case-insensitive substring match against the entry name or source.

```bash theme={"theme":"nord"}
gaal info skill                           # every skill entry
gaal info skill vercel-labs/agent-skills  # skills sourced from this repo
gaal info repo workspace/myrepo
gaal info mcp claude                      # MCP entries whose name matches "claude"
gaal info agent                           # all registered agents
gaal info agent cursor
```

## Sample output

```text theme={"theme":"nord"}
$ gaal info skill frontend-design
skill: frontend-design
  source:       anthropics/skills
  selection:    select [frontend-design, skill-creator]
  scope:        project
  agents:       claude-code, cursor
  installed at:
    .claude/skills/frontend-design/   (3 files, fresh)
    .cursor/skills/frontend-design/   (3 files, fresh)
```

```text theme={"theme":"nord"}
$ gaal info mcp filesystem
mcp: filesystem
  agents: [claude-code, cursor]
  scope:  global
  resolved targets:
    claude-code → ~/.claude.json
    cursor      → ~/.cursor/mcp.json
  inline:
    command: uvx
    args:    [mcp-server-filesystem, ~/projects]
  state:  upserted, hash matches config (both targets)
```

## JSON output

`gaal info <type> -o json` returns the same data as a structured object, suitable for piping into `jq` or feeding into automation.
