Copy agent skills from git repos into local directories for coding agents

Project description

agent-skills-installer

A CLI tool to copy Agent Skills from git repos into local directories for coding agents.

Install

uv tool install agent-skills-installer

Or run directly without installing:

uvx agent-skills-installer

Note: uv must be installed. See https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/ for installation instructions.

Usage

Install skills (default command)

# Interactive — prompts for destination, repo, and skill selection
agent-skills-installer

# Fully non-interactive
agent-skills-installer install \
  --destination ~/.claude/skills/ \
  --source https://github.com/anthropics/skills \
  --skill skill-creator

Options:

Flag Short Description
--destination -d Destination directory (skip prompt)
--source -s Source git repo URL (skip prompt)
--skill -k Skill name to install (skip selection & confirmation)

Update skills

# Interactive — prompts for destination, confirms before updating
agent-skills-installer update

# Non-interactive
agent-skills-installer update -d ~/.claude/skills/ -k skill-creator

Options:

Flag Short Description
--destination -d Directory to scan for installed skills (skip prompt)
--skill -k Skill name to update (skip confirmation)

How it works

  1. Skills are discovered in the skills/ subdirectory of the source repo
  2. Each skill directory (containing a SKILL.md) is copied to the destination
  3. A metadata.git-repo entry is added to the SKILL.md frontmatter to track the source repo
  4. The update command uses that metadata to refresh skills from their original repos

Configuration (last destination, recent repos) is saved to ~/.agent-skills-installer/config.toml.
