FAQPage Schema
How do I install a third-party agent skill from a Git repository?▼

Installing external skills from Git URLs requires git and bash. The process uses sparse checkout to download only necessary files, normalizes SKILL.md conventions, and verifies the installation automatically.

What is sparse checkout and how does it work for skill installation?▼

Sparse checkout selectively fetches specific directories from a Git repository. When installing skills, it targets only the required skill files, saving bandwidth and disk space instead of cloning the entire repository.

Do I need git and bash to import skills from GitHub?▼

Yes, git and bash are required dependencies. Git handles the repository sparse checkout, while bash executes the scripts needed to normalize the imported SKILL.md file, handle licenses, and verify the skill installation.

How are imported SKILL.md files normalized when installing from Git?▼

Imported SKILL.md files are normalized to match local project conventions. The skill automatically modifies the imported documentation and handles license files consistently to ensure the external skill integrates correctly with local standards.

Can I use SSH URLs to install third-party agent skills?▼

You can use HTTPS or SSH Git URLs to install third-party agent skills. The installation process parses the provided URL, executes a sparse checkout, and runs built-in verification commands to confirm the skill is ready.
