SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires gh, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the hassle of manually running complex gh skill install commands to add agent skills from GitHub repositories, saving you time and avoiding configuration errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Prerequisite Validation: Automatically checks if the gh CLI is installed and authenticated before running any install commands, stopping early with clear instructions if setup is missing.
  • Request Parsing: Extracts repository, skill name, version pins, agent, scope, and custom directory overrides directly from natural language user requests.
  • Command Automation: Builds and runs the correct gh skill install command with appropriate flags, using sensible defaults for the opencode agent and user scope unless the user explicitly requests otherwise.
  • Use Case: If a user asks to install the spec-planner skill from the roerohan/skills repo for their opencode setup, this Skill handles all the command construction, validation, and execution automatically.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to install a skill from a GitHub repository, for example: "Install the tmux skill from roerohan/skills for opencode."
