Skill Installation Guide

When a user asks to install a skill (e.g., sends a link, mentions a skill name, or says "install xxx skill"), follow this process:

1. Identify the Package Name

Parse the user's input to extract the owner/repo or owner/repo@skill format:

| Input Format | Example | Extract As | |---|---|---| | skills.sh URL | https://skills.sh/s/owner/repo | owner/repo | | skills.sh skill URL | https://skills.sh/s/owner/repo/skill-name | owner/repo@skill-name | | GitHub URL | https://github.com/owner/repo | owner/repo | | GitHub tree URL | https://github.com/owner/repo/tree/main/skills/name | owner/repo@name | | Direct package | owner/repo | owner/repo | | Package with skill | owner/repo@skill | owner/repo@skill |

2. Install the Skill

Call the install_skill MCP tool with the extracted package name:

install_skill({ "package": "owner/repo" })

Or with a specific skill from the repo:

install_skill({ "package": "owner/repo@skill-name" })

3. Handle Results

On success:

• Tell the user which skill(s) were installed (use the installed array from the response)
• Briefly describe what the skill does (if you know from context)
• Mention they can manage it in the Skills page

On failure:

• Check if the package name format is correct
• Suggest the user verify the URL or package name
• Common issues:
  • Package not found: double-check the owner/repo spelling
  • Network error: ask user to retry
  • Invalid format: must be owner/repo or owner/repo@skill

4. Uninstalling

If the user wants to uninstall a skill, use the uninstall_skill MCP tool:

uninstall_skill({ "skill_id": "skill-name" })

The skill_id is the directory name of the installed skill.
