SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies adding new capabilities to the local skills/ directory by installing either a single SKILL.md from a URL or an entire skill stored in a Git repository, removing manual cloning, file copying, and directory scaffolding.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Git repository installation: Automatically clone a repository, search for a SKILL.md, and import the skill into the local skills/ directory with optional subdirectory selection.
  • Single SKILL.md installation: Download a standalone SKILL.md and scaffold a standard skill layout including scripts/, references/, and assets/ when appropriate.
  • Extra files support: Fetch and save additional asset or reference files listed by a skill.
  • Use Case: Add community-contributed skills from GitHub or raw SKILL.md URLs to extend the desktop AI workspace without manual file operations.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I install a skill from a GitHub repository into my local skills directory?▼

To install a skill from a GitHub repository, provide the Git URL to automatically clone the repository, locate the SKILL.md entry, and import the skill into your local skills directory with normalized folder structures.

Can I install a standalone SKILL.md file from a URL without cloning a full Git repository?▼

Yes, you can install a standalone SKILL.md from a URL. The tool downloads the file and scaffolds a standard skill layout in the local skills directory, creating scripts/, references/, and assets/ folders when appropriate.

What is the best way to add community skills from a raw SKILL.md URL to a desktop AI workspace?▼

Adding community skills from a raw SKILL.md URL is handled by downloading the file and scaffolding the required directory layout automatically, removing the need for manual file copying and folder creation in your desktop AI workspace.

Does the skill installation process support selecting a specific subdirectory from a cloned Git repository?▼

Yes, subdirectory selection is supported during Git repository installation. When cloning a repository to locate a SKILL.md, you can specify a subdirectory to import the skill from into the local skills directory.

How are extra asset and reference files handled when importing a skill from a Git repo?▼

Extra asset and reference files listed by a skill are fetched and saved during the installation process. This ensures additional dependencies are downloaded and organized correctly within the normalized directory structure.

Why manually copy files when adding new capabilities to the skills directory instead of using an installer?▼

Manually copying files, cloning repositories, and scaffolding directories is unnecessary because the installer automates these tasks, extracting SKILL.md entries and extra files directly into the local skills directory.
