Workflow
Step 1 — Identify source
Check whether the user already stated the source folder in their message (e.g. "copy from .github").
If not, ask:
"Which folder do you want to copy skills from?"
.claude/skills.cursor/skills.github/skills
Step 2 — Identify destination
Check whether the user already stated the destination. If not, ask:
"Which folder do you want to copy skills to?" (list remaining options, excluding the source)
Step 3 — Handle overwrite preference
Ask whether to overwrite skills that already exist in the destination, or skip them:
"Skills that already exist in the destination will be skipped by default. Do you want to overwrite them instead?"
Default: skip existing (do not overwrite).
Step 4 — Run the copy script
Run the PowerShell helper from the repository root:
.github/skills/skill-copier/scripts/Copy-Skills.ps1 `
-Source "<source-key>" `
-Destination "<destination-key>" `
[-Overwrite]
Where <source-key> and <destination-key> are one of: .claude, .cursor, .github.
Add -Overwrite only when the user confirmed they want to replace existing skills.
Step 5 — Report results
After the script finishes, summarise to the user:
- How many skills were copied
- How many were skipped (already existed)
- Any errors
Edge cases
- If source and destination are the same, stop and tell the user to pick two different folders.
- If the source folder doesn't exist or is empty, tell the user and stop.
- If the destination folder doesn't exist, the script creates it automatically.
