No installed skills visible.

Error message

No installed skills visible.

What it means

Thrown as an EmptyResultError when the in-app skills list (scraped from the Trae UI via page.evaluate) returns zero rows. When the 'installed' filter is active the message is 'No installed skills visible.' — the UI panel rendered but listed no installed skills.

Solutions

1. Install at least one skill in Trae so the installed list is non-empty.
2. Ensure the Skills panel/tab is fully loaded before listing (retry or add a wait).
3. If skills exist in the UI but still nothing, selectors likely broke after a Trae UI update — update the scraping selectors in skill.js.
4. Drop the installed filter to check whether the marketplace list works, isolating the issue.

Example fix

// before
await skillList({ installed: true }) // immediately after opening the app
// after
await waitForSkillsPanel(page); await skillList({ installed: true })

// wait until the skills panel has rendered items before listing
await page.waitForFunction(() => document.querySelectorAll('.skill-item, [class*=skill]').length > 0, { timeout: 10000 }).catch(() => {});

try {
  const rows = await skillList({ installed: true });
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof EmptyResultError && /No installed skills visible/.test(e.message)) {
    // retry after a delay or surface 'no skills installed' to the user
  } else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Running trae-solo skill-list with installed=true when the Trae window shows no installed skills — none installed, the Skills panel failed to render its list, or the DOM selectors changed so items parse to an empty array.

Common situations: Fresh Trae install with no skills; UI updated and selectors no longer match the skill list markup; the Skills tab content not yet loaded when evaluate ran; wrong workspace/window attached.
