About

Add Remote Skill

This skill enables adding skills from GitHub repositories to the kilo-marketplace.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user provides one or more GitHub URLs pointing to skill directories and wants them added to the marketplace.

Workflow

Single Skill

For a single GitHub URL, execute the add-remote-skill script directly:

npx tsx bin/add-remote-skill.ts

Multiple Skills

When the user provides multiple GitHub URLs, switch to orchestrator mode to handle each skill addition as a separate subtask. This ensures proper error handling and progress tracking for each skill.

To switch to orchestrator mode:

Request a mode switch to orchestrator with a message like:

> Add the following skills from GitHub: > > - [url1] > - [url2] > - [url3] > > For each URL, create a code subtask that runs: > npx tsx bin/add-remote-skill.ts > > after cloning the skill, make sure you give it an appropriate category. Please also check the url main repository for the LICENSE > and warn the user if it is not Apache 2.0

Script Details

The [bin/add-remote-skill.ts](bin/add-remote-skill.ts) script:

  1. Parses GitHub URLs in formats:
  • https://github.com/owner/repo/tree/branch/path/to/skill
  • https://github.com/owner/repo/blob/branch/path/to/file (extracts parent directory)
  1. Uses sparse checkout to clone only the skill directory
  1. Copies the skill to skills//
  1. Updates SKILL.md frontmatter:
  • Adds metadata.source.repository with the GitHub repo URL
  • Adds metadata.source.path with the path within the repo
  • Adds metadata.category: unknown if not present

Example Usage

# Add a single skill
npx tsx bin/add-remote-skill.ts https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-skills/tree/main/skills/claude.ai/web-design-guidelines

# Add from Gemini CLI
npx tsx bin/add-remote-skill.ts https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/tree/main/.gemini/skills/pr-creator

Error Handling

The script will fail if:

  • The GitHub URL format is invalid
  • The skill directory already exists locally
  • SKILL.md is not found in the source directory
  • The repository or path doesn't exist
