| description | Guides intake of Agent Skills from Git repos, skills.sh, and pkuppens/pkuppens into IDE paths or this library. Covers project vs global install, derivative skills, and catalog maintenance. Use when installing, adapting, or contributing skills. |
Skills transfer
Move skills between sources (public registry, Git repos, this library) and agent environments without duplicating the Agent Skills specification.
When to use
- Install skills from skills.sh,
npx skills add, or symlink
- Bring skills from
pkuppens/pkuppens or other repos into a project
- Create a derivative skill that references a canonical or public base skill
- Maintain the library catalog (
SKILL_TREE.md, bundles, optional skills.sh listing)
- Migrate a whole tree into
pkuppens/skills → activate nested skill repo-transfer
Quick path
- Discover —
npx skills find <keywords> or browse skills.sh; check sources.
- Choose install scope — project vs global: install-modes.
- Reuse or build — prefer install when a public skill fits; author only the delta (see derivative-skills).
- Validate —
skills-ref validate <skill-dir> (same check as CI).
- Contribute here — follow repo-transfer for PRs into this library.
Derivative skills (summary)
Do not edit canonical skills in place when you only need a personal or team variant. Add a new folder with its own name and description, and link to the base skill in the body. See examples.md and derivative-skills.
Catalog (summary)
Keep skills/SKILL_TREE.md aligned with folders under skills/. Optional curated sets live under docs/bundles/ (planned). Optional promotion on skills.sh is marketing, not required for merge. Details: catalog.
