Migrate Skills Between Libraries
Goal
Move skills from one library workspace to another without losing metadata, breaking dependencies, or duplicating entries.
Guardrails
- Always use
--dry-runbefore any mutating command in the target workspace. - Always use
--listto inspect the source library before importing. - Always use
--format jsonfor structured output when scripting migrations. - Never import skills without checking for name collisions in the target workspace first.
- Always run
build-docsin the target workspace after migration.
Workflow
Export: Identify skills to migrate from the source library
- List all skills in the source workspace.
cd /path/to/source-library
npx ai-agent-skills list --format json --fields name,tier,workArea,collections
- For house copies, note the skill folder paths. For upstream picks, note the installSource.
Import: Add skills to the target workspace
- For house copies, use
vendorto copy the skill folder into the target:
cd /path/to/target-library
npx ai-agent-skills vendor /path/to/source-library --skill <name> --area <workArea> --branch <branch> --why "Migrated from source library." --dry-run
npx ai-agent-skills vendor /path/to/source-library --skill <name> --area <workArea> --branch <branch> --why "Migrated from source library."
- For upstream picks, use
catalogto re-catalog from the original source:
npx ai-agent-skills catalog <owner>/<repo> --skill <name> --area <workArea> --branch <branch> --why "Migrated from source library." --dry-run
npx ai-agent-skills catalog <owner>/<repo> --skill <name> --area <workArea> --branch <branch> --why "Migrated from source library."
- Rebuild docs in the target workspace.
npx ai-agent-skills build-docs
- Validate the target workspace.
npx ai-agent-skills validate
Gotchas
- Skill names must be unique per workspace. Check for collisions before importing.
- House copies are full folder copies — the source and target are independent after migration.
- Upstream picks re-catalog from the original upstream source, not the intermediate library.
- Dependencies (
requiresfield) must also be migrated. Checkinfo --format jsonfor each skill's dependency graph. - Collection membership does not transfer automatically. Use
curate --collection <id>to add migrated skills to target collections.
