Add Remote Skill
This skill enables adding skills from GitHub repositories to the kilo-marketplace.
When to Use
Use this skill when the user provides one or more GitHub URLs pointing to skill directories and wants them added to the marketplace.
Workflow
Single Skill
For a single GitHub URL, execute the add-remote-skill script directly:
npx tsx bin/add-remote-skill.ts <github-url>
Multiple Skills
When the user provides multiple GitHub URLs, switch to orchestrator mode to handle each skill addition as a separate subtask. This ensures proper error handling and progress tracking for each skill.
To switch to orchestrator mode:
Request a mode switch to orchestrator with a message like:
Add the following skills from GitHub:
- [url1]
- [url2]
- [url3]
For each URL, create a code subtask that runs:
npx tsx bin/add-remote-skill.ts <url>after cloning the skill, make sure you give it an appropriate category. Please also check the url main repository for the LICENSE and warn the user if it is not Apache 2.0

-
