Add Skill
Import skills from GitHub repositories into the current workspace.
Workflow
When a user requests to add a skill from a GitHub URL:
- •Parse the URL to extract repository owner, name, and skill path
- •Fetch the skill using the bundled script:
bash
python3 <this-skill-path>/scripts/fetch_skill.py "<github-url>" "<workspace-path>"
- •Verify that SKILL.md exists in the destination
- •Inform the user the skill is now available
URL Formats Supported
- •
https://github.com/owner/repo/tree/main/path/to/skill - •
https://github.com/owner/repo/skill-name - •
github.com/owner/repo/skill-name - •
