Skill Installer

Use this skill to install another skill from a local path, a directory, or a GitHub SKILL.md URL.

Default behavior

• Target scope defaults to repo
• The installer asks for missing details interactively
• Existing files are never overwritten without confirmation
• If the source is a local directory, you can choose whether to copy supporting files too

Supported inputs

• Local SKILL.md file
• Local skill directory
• GitHub blob URL to a SKILL.md file

Install script

Run:

bash .github/skills/skill-installer/scripts/install-skill.sh

Or provide a source directly:

bash .github/skills/skill-installer/scripts/install-skill.sh https://github.com/casey/just/blob/master/skills/just/SKILL.md

The script installs to:

• .github/skills/<skill-name>/ for repo-only installs
• ~/.copilot/skills/<skill-name>/ for global installs

What it asks

The installer prompts for:

1. Source path or URL
2. Target scope: repo or global
3. Skill name if it cannot be inferred
4. Whether to copy supporting files
5. Whether to overwrite an existing install
