# Install Skill from GitHub
|
||||
|
||||
You are installing a Claude Code skill from a GitHub repository to project scope.
|
||||
|
||||
## Parse the Input
|
||||
|
||||
Parse the source argument: `$ARGUMENTS.source`
|
||||
|
||||
Supported formats:
|
||||
- `user/repo` - Clone repo, look for skill at root or in `skills/` directory
|
||||
- `user/repo:skill-name` - Install specific skill from `skills/<skill-name>/`
|
||||
- `user/repo#branch` - Use specific branch
|
||||
- `user/repo#branch:skill-name` - Branch + specific skill
|
||||
- `user/repo --all` - Install all skills found in repo
|
||||
|
||||
Extract:
|
||||
- `owner`: GitHub username/org
|
||||
- `repo`: Repository name
|
||||
- `branch`: Branch name (default: repo's default branch)
|
||||
- `skillPath`: Path to skill within repo (optional)
|
||||
- `installAll`: Boolean flag for --all
|
||||
|
||||
## Determine Installation Mode
|
||||
|
||||
Check for mode flags in `$ARGUMENTS.mode` or within `$ARGUMENTS.source`:
|
||||
|
||||
**Flag detection:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. First check `$ARGUMENTS.mode`:
|
||||
- If `--copy` or `copy`: `mode = "copy"`
|
||||
- If `--submodule` or `submodule`: `mode = "submodule"`
|
||||
|
||||
2. If not found, check if flag is appended to source string:
|
||||
- Split `$ARGUMENTS.source` by spaces
|
||||
- If last token is `--copy`: `mode = "copy"`, remove flag from source
|
||||
- If last token is `--submodule`: `mode = "submodule"`, remove flag from source
|
||||
|
||||
3. If no flag found, prompt user:
|
||||
|
||||
**Interactive prompt (when no flag):**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Use AskUserQuestion:
|
||||
question: "How would you like to install this skill?"
|
||||
header: "Install Mode"
|
||||
multiSelect: false
|
||||
options:
|
||||
- label: "Submodule (recommended)"
|
||||
description: "Full repo as git submodule, easy updates via git submodule update"
|
||||
- label: "Copy"
|
||||
description: "Only skill files copied, minimal footprint, re-run install to update"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Map user response to mode variable:
|
||||
- "Submodule (recommended)" → `mode = "submodule"`
|
||||
- "Copy" → `mode = "copy"`
|
||||
|
||||
**Default:** If user doesn't respond or cancels, default to `mode = "submodule"`.
|
||||
|
||||
The `mode` variable (value: `"copy"` or `"submodule"`) is used in subsequent installation steps.
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation Process
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Setup directories
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir -p .claude/skills
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Find skills to install
|
||||
|
||||
If `--all` flag:
|
||||
- Look for `skills/` directory in cloned repo
|
||||
- Find all subdirectories containing `SKILL.md`
|
||||
- Collect list of skill names
|
||||
|
||||
If specific skill path:
|
||||
- Check if `skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md` exists
|
||||
- If not, check if `<skill-name>/SKILL.md` exists at root
|
||||
- If not found, report error with helpful message
|
||||
|
||||
If no skill specified:
|
||||
- Check if repo root has `SKILL.md` (repo IS the skill)
|
||||
- If not, check if `skills/` directory exists and has exactly one skill
|
||||
- If multiple skills found, list them and ask user to specify
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Validate each skill
|
||||
|
||||
For each skill to install:
|
||||
1. Verify `SKILL.md` exists
|
||||
2. Read frontmatter and validate:
|
||||
- `name` field exists (max 64 chars)
|
||||
- `description` field exists (max 1024 chars)
|
||||
3. Warn if validation fails but continue
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Execute Installation Based on Mode
|
||||
|
||||
#### If mode is "copy":
|
||||
|
||||
**2a. Clone to temporary directory:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
TEMP_DIR=$(mktemp -d)
|
||||
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>.git "$TEMP_DIR"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If specific branch:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone --depth=1 --branch <branch> https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>.git "$TEMP_DIR"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**2b. Get commit SHA before cleanup:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
COMMIT_SHA=$(git -C "$TEMP_DIR" rev-parse HEAD)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**2c. Copy skill directory:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir -p .claude/skills
|
||||
cp -r "$TEMP_DIR/<skillPath>" ".claude/skills/<skill-name>"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**2d. Clean up temp directory:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
rm -rf "$TEMP_DIR"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### If mode is "submodule":
|
||||
|
||||
**2a. Check if this is a git repository:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git rev-parse --git-dir > /dev/null 2>&1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If not a git repo, error:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Error: Submodule mode requires a git repository.
|
||||
|
||||
Either initialize git first (git init) or use --copy mode.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**2b. Check if submodule already exists:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
if [ -d ".claude/submodules/<repo>" ]; then
|
||||
# Verify it's the same source
|
||||
EXISTING_URL=$(git config --file .gitmodules submodule..claude/submodules/<repo>.url)
|
||||
EXPECTED_URL="https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>.git"
|
||||
|
||||
if [ "$EXISTING_URL" = "$EXPECTED_URL" ]; then
|
||||
# Same URL - use existing submodule, skip git submodule add
|
||||
echo "Submodule already exists with matching URL, using existing"
|
||||
else
|
||||
# Different URL - error
|
||||
echo "Error: Submodule exists but URL differs"
|
||||
echo " Existing: $EXISTING_URL"
|
||||
echo " Expected: $EXPECTED_URL"
|
||||
exit 1
|
||||
fi
|
||||
fi
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**2c. Add submodule if not exists:**
|
||||
|
||||
Skip if submodule already exists with matching URL (from step 2b).
|
||||
|
||||
Otherwise:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir -p .claude/submodules
|
||||
git submodule add https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>.git .claude/submodules/<repo>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If specific branch:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git submodule add -b <branch> https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>.git .claude/submodules/<repo>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**2d. Get commit SHA:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
COMMIT_SHA=$(git -C ".claude/submodules/<repo>" rev-parse HEAD)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 5: Create symlinks (submodule mode only)
|
||||
|
||||
**Skip this step if mode is "copy"** - files are already in `.claude/skills/<name>/`.
|
||||
|
||||
For submodule mode, create symlink:
|
||||
|
||||
Check if `.claude/skills/<skill-name>` already exists:
|
||||
- If symlink pointing to same target: skip, already installed
|
||||
- If symlink pointing elsewhere or regular directory: ask user to overwrite or skip
|
||||
|
||||
Create relative symlink:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir -p .claude/skills
|
||||
ln -s ../submodules/<repo>/<skillPath> .claude/skills/<skill-name>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if skill is at `skills/brainstorming/`:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ln -s ../submodules/superpowers/skills/brainstorming .claude/skills/brainstorming
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 6: Update registry
|
||||
|
||||
Read or create `.claude/local-plugins.yaml`:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
version: 2
|
||||
skills: {}
|
||||
submodules: {}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Migration:** If `.claude/local-plugins.json` exists (v1), migrate it first:
|
||||
1. Read JSON content
|
||||
2. Convert each repo's skills to v2 format with `mode: legacy`
|
||||
3. Write to `.claude/local-plugins.yaml`
|
||||
4. Delete `.claude/local-plugins.json`
|
||||
|
||||
**Add skill entry:**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
skills:
|
||||
<skill-name>:
|
||||
mode: <copy|submodule>
|
||||
source: github.com/<owner>/<repo>
|
||||
repo: <repo>
|
||||
branch: <branch>
|
||||
skillPath: <path/to/skill>
|
||||
installedAt: <ISO timestamp>
|
||||
commitSha: <sha>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**If submodule mode, also update submodules section:**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
submodules:
|
||||
<repo>:
|
||||
source: github.com/<owner>/<repo>
|
||||
path: .claude/submodules/<repo>
|
||||
skills:
|
||||
- <skill-name>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If repo already in submodules, just append skill name to the `skills` list.
|
||||
|
||||
**Write YAML:** Use proper YAML formatting with 2-space indentation.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 7: Update .gitignore (copy mode only)
|
||||
|
||||
**Skip this step for submodule mode** - submodules are tracked by git naturally.
|
||||
|
||||
For copy mode, the skill files in `.claude/skills/<name>/` will be committed directly. No .gitignore changes needed.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** The old `.claude/plugins/local/` pattern can be removed from .gitignore if present, as we no longer use that directory.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 8: Report success
|
||||
|
||||
**Copy mode output:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Installing skill from github.com/<owner>/<repo>...
|
||||
├── Mode: Copy
|
||||
├── Downloading: <skillPath>
|
||||
├── Copying to: .claude/skills/<skill-name>
|
||||
└── Status: Installed successfully
|
||||
|
||||
Skill "<skill-name>" is now available in this project.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Submodule mode output:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Installing skill from github.com/<owner>/<repo>...
|
||||
├── Mode: Submodule
|
||||
├── Adding submodule: .claude/submodules/<repo>
|
||||
├── Creating symlink: .claude/skills/<skill-name>
|
||||
└── Status: Installed successfully
|
||||
|
||||
Skill "<skill-name>" is now available in this project.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Team members should run `git submodule update --init` after cloning.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Error Handling
|
||||
|
||||
**Repository not found:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Error: Repository not found: github.com/<owner>/<repo>
|
||||
|
||||
Check the repository URL and ensure it's public or you have access.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**No SKILL.md found:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Error: No SKILL.md found at <owner>/<repo>:<path>
|
||||
|
||||
Expected structure:
|
||||
skill-name/
|
||||
└── SKILL.md (required)
|
||||
|
||||
Available skills in this repo:
|
||||
- skill-a (skills/skill-a/)
|
||||
- skill-b (skills/skill-b/)
|
||||
|
||||
Try: /install-skill <owner>/<repo>:skill-a
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Network error:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Error: Failed to clone repository
|
||||
|
||||
Check your network connection and try again.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Always use relative symlinks so they work when repo is moved
|
||||
- The `.claude/plugins/local/` directory should NOT be committed (add to .gitignore)
|
||||
- The `.claude/skills/<name>` symlinks SHOULD be committed (team sharing)
|
||||
- Team members need to run `/install-skill` after cloning to populate local repos
