Webskills

WebSkills

Inputs Required

1. A public http:// or https:// URL.
2. Optional custom skill name slug.
3. Optional custom output directory.

Default Workflow

1. Generate and install in one command:

npx webskills-cli add 

1. Confirm success output includes:

• generated skill directory path
• pipeline stage used
• content hash

1. Verify installed skill is available to the target agent.

Safe Preview Workflow

Use this when the user wants to inspect output before installing:

npx webskills-cli extract --url  --output .webskills/generated

Then inspect generated files:

• SKILL.md

Manual Install Workflow

If generation was run without install, install the produced directory explicitly:

npx skills add 

Useful Options

• Set custom output directory:

npx webskills-cli add  --output 

• Set custom skill slug:

npx webskills-cli add  --name 

• Increase fetch timeout:

npx webskills-cli add  --timeout-ms 30000

Agent Behavior Rules

1. Only process the user-provided page as the primary source.
2. Do not invent undocumented capabilities.
3. Keep discovered links as references only; do not treat them as crawled content unless explicitly requested.
4. Prefer deterministic reruns rather than editing generated output by hand.

Troubleshooting

• If HTTPS certificate validation fails in restricted environments, retry with another reachable public URL.
• If installation is not desired, use extract instead of add.
• If npx webskills-cli is unavailable, run cargo run -- add from a source checkout or install the published npm package first.
