Install From Remote Library
Goal
Install from a shared library repo without guessing, over-installing, or skipping the preview step.
Invariants
- Always inspect the remote library first with
install <source> --list. - Prefer
--collectionwhen the library clearly exposes a starter pack or focused bundle. - Always run
--dry-runbefore the real install. - Keep the install small. Do not pull a whole library when the user only needs a narrow slice.
Workflow
- Inspect the source library.
npx ai-agent-skills install <owner>/<repo> --list
- Choose the smallest fitting target.
- Prefer
--collection starter-packor another named collection when it matches the user's need. - Use
--skill <name>only when the user needs one specific skill or the library has no useful collection. - Do not combine
--collectionand--skill.
- Preview the install plan before mutating anything.
npx ai-agent-skills install <owner>/<repo> --collection starter-pack --dry-run -p
or
npx ai-agent-skills install <owner>/<repo> --skill <skill-name> --dry-run -p
- If the plan looks right, run the real install with the same scope.
npx ai-agent-skills install <owner>/<repo> --collection starter-pack -p
Decision Rules
- If the library has a curated collection that already matches the user's stack, use it.
- If the remote library is empty or the list output is unclear, stop and report that instead of guessing.
- If the install path throws an
ERROR/HINT, surface that verbatim and follow the hint before retrying. - If the user is exploring a large library, keep them in browse mode first rather than installing immediately.
Done
Return:
- what source library you inspected
- which collection or skill you chose
- the dry-run result
- the exact final install command you used
