High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I install reusable skills from a GitHub repository into my workspace?

You can install skills from a GitHub repository by fetching them via ZIP or Git sparse-checkout, then safely copying the files to your target destination with options for --dest, --name, and --global.

Can I install external skills from private GitHub repositories?

Yes, you can pull skills directly from private GitHub repositories. The installer handles repo retrieval securely and performs deterministic path parsing to copy the skill into your workspace or global directory.

What is the best way to discover and manage curated skills for my projects?

The best way to discover curated skills is using the installer's interactive mode or scripts to list available catalogs. You can then install specific skills by name and verify which ones are already installed to streamline maintenance.

Does installing skills globally require Git?

Yes, Git is a required dependency for installing skills globally or locally. The installer relies on Git commands like sparse-checkout to pull specific paths from GitHub repositories into the Antigravity workspace.

How do I specify the installation directory when pulling skills from a repo?

You can specify the installation directory using the --dest flag during installation. The installer enforces safe copying to the destination path and allows custom naming with the --name option.

What are the limitations of using Git sparse-checkout for skill installation?

Using Git sparse-checkout requires a local Git environment and valid URL/path parsing. It is limited to fetching specific directory paths from GitHub repositories rather than downloading entire repositories indiscriminately.
