FAQPage Schema
How do I import skills from the anthropics/skills repository into local Claude configuration?▼

Caching for external skill discovery uses a TTL-based mechanism to minimize network calls to the GitHub API. This ensures repeated browsing of available skills is fast and reduces redundant external requests during the import workflow.

Do I need to manually extract SKILL.md files when adding skills from external repos?▼
