How it works
- Skills are discovered in the
skills/subdirectory of the source repo - Each skill directory (containing a
SKILL.md) is copied to the destination - A
metadata.git-repoentry is added to the SKILL.md frontmatter to track the source repo - The
updatecommand uses that metadata to refresh skills from their original repos
Configuration (last destination, recent repos) is saved to ~/.agent-skills-installer/config.toml.
