agentskills-http 0.1.0

HTTP-based skill providers for the Agent Skills format (https://agentskills.io)

agentskills-http

HTTP static-file skill provider for the Agent Skills SDK.

Serves Agent Skills from any static HTTP file host — S3, Azure Blob, CDN, GitHub Pages, Nginx, etc. Expects the same directory-tree layout as the filesystem provider, served over HTTP.

Installation

pip install agentskills-http

Requires Python 3.12+. Installs agentskills-core, httpx, and pyyaml as dependencies.

Expected URL Layout

https://cdn.example.com/skills/
├── incident-response/
│   ├── SKILL.md
│   ├── references/severity-levels.md
│   ├── scripts/page-oncall.sh
│   └── assets/flowchart.mermaid
└── another-skill/
    └── SKILL.md

Usage

from agentskills_core import SkillRegistry
from agentskills_http import HTTPStaticFileSkillProvider

async with HTTPStaticFileSkillProvider("https://cdn.example.com/skills") as provider:
    registry = SkillRegistry()
    await registry.register("incident-response", provider)

    skill = registry.get_skill("incident-response")
    meta = await skill.get_metadata()
    body = await skill.get_body()

Custom Headers

Pass authentication or other headers:

provider = HTTPStaticFileSkillProvider(
    "https://cdn.example.com/skills",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer <token>"},
)

Bring Your Own Client

Supply a pre-configured httpx.AsyncClient for full control over timeouts, proxies, etc.:

import httpx

client = httpx.AsyncClient(timeout=30, headers={"Authorization": "Bearer <token>"})
provider = HTTPStaticFileSkillProvider("https://cdn.example.com/skills", client=client)
# caller is responsible for closing the client

Note: client and headers are mutually exclusive. Configure headers on the client directly when providing your own.
