Frequently Asked Questions about skill-pull

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I pull remote skills into a local skills repo from GitHub?▼

To pull remote skills from GitHub, provide a user/repo shorthand, full URL, or raw SKILL.md reference. The tool clones the source with --depth 1, extracts directories containing SKILL.md, and copies them into .pi-go/skills.

Can I install a specific skill from a GitHub repository instead of all of them?▼

Yes, you can install a specific skill by providing the source and the optional skill-name argument. This filters the extraction process to copy only the targeted SKILL.md directory into your local .pi-go/skills folder.

What happens if I pull a remote skill with a name that already exists locally?▼

When pulling a remote skill that already exists locally, the tool issues a warning on existing names and preserves the current skills in your .pi-go/skills directory without overwriting them.

What GitHub URL formats are supported for downloading skills?▼

Supported GitHub formats for downloading skills include user/repo shorthand, full GitHub repository URLs, and direct raw SKILL.md file references. The tool clones the source and extracts matching skill directories.

Does pulling skills from a remote repository leave temporary cloned files behind?▼

No, pulling remote skills cleans up temporary files automatically. The workflow clones the source with --depth 1, extracts the SKILL.md directories to .pi-go/skills, removes the temporary clone, and reports what was installed.
