FAQPage Schema
How do I contribute a skill to an upstream repository using Git?▼

Contributing a skill involves branching from the main repository, creating or editing your skill, committing changes, pushing to your fork, and opening a pull request. The sharing-skills Skill guides you through this branching, committing, pushing, and PR workflow to ensure your contribution follows version control best practices.

What should I include in a pull request when sharing a new skill?▼

Pull requests for skill contributions require well-tested, well-documented code suitable for general use. The sharing-skills Skill specifies PR content requirements to ensure consistent upstream contributions and community-ready quality.

Do I need the GitHub CLI to share skills upstream?▼

Yes, the sharing-skills Skill requires the gh CLI as a dependency. You'll also need a local clone of the repository at ~/.config/cipherpowers/skills/ to begin the contribution workflow.

What's the proper workflow for sharing locally developed skills with others?▼

The structured contribution process follows Branch → Edit/Create skill → Commit → Push → PR workflow. This ensures skills are version-controlled, tested, and documented before reaching the main repository for community use.

Can I share a skill that I've only tested locally?▼

Skills must be well-tested and well-documented before sharing upstream. The sharing-skills Skill enforces quality assurance requirements, so local-only testing isn't sufficient for community contribution.
