Install skills from github.com/oaustegard/claude-skills into /mnt/skills/user. Use when user mentions "install skills", "load skills", "add skills", "update skills", "refresh skills", or references a skill not currently installed.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Installing Skills
Install skills from github.com/oaustegard/claude-skills to `/mnt/skills/user`, making them available in the current and future conversations.
## Execution
Run the installation script:
```bash
bash /mnt/skills/user/installing-skills/scripts/install.sh
```
The script:
- Fetches repository contents via GitHub API
- Downloads SKILL.md for each skill directory
- Reports installed/updated/skipped counts
- Excludes: templates, .github, .claude, .uploads directories
## Network Requirements
Requires access to:
- `api.github.com` - Repository structure listing
- `raw.githubusercontent.com` - File downloads
If blocked, report the specific endpoint and suggest checking network settings.
## Triggers
Execute installation automatically when:
- User explicitly requests skill installation/update
- User references a skill not present in `/mnt/skills/user`
- User mentions missing capabilities that match known skill patterns
## Verification
Installed skills appear in system's `<available_skills>` automatically. Manual verification:
```bash
ls /mnt/skills/user
```
## Manual Installation
For single skills or testing:
```bash
mkdir -p /mnt/skills/user/{skill-name}

How to install
mdr add oaustegard/claude-skills/installing-skills@sha256:78bed6532b68392cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
