# Add Skill

Import skills from GitHub repositories into the current workspace.

## Workflow

When a user requests to add a skill from a GitHub URL:

1. **Parse the URL** to extract repository owner, name, and skill path

2. **Fetch the skill** using the bundled script:

```bash

python3 <this-skill-path>/scripts/fetch_skill.py "<github-url>" "<workspace-path>"

```

3. **Verify** that SKILL.md exists in the destination

4. **Inform the user** the skill is now available

## URL Formats Supported

- `https://github.com/owner/repo/tree/main/path/to/skill`

- `https://github.com/owner/repo/skill-name`

- `github.com/owner/repo/skill-name`

- `owner/repo/skill-name` (shorthand)

## Example

User: `/add-skill https://github.com/OpenHands/skills/tree/main/skills/codereview`

```bash

# Run the fetch script

python3 scripts/fetch_skill.py "https://github.com/OpenHands/skills/tree/main/skills/codereview" "/path/to/workspace"

# Verify installation

- ls /path/to/workspace/.openhands/skills/codereview/SKILL.md

+ ls /path/to/workspace/.agents/skills/codereview/SKILL.md

```

Response: "✅ Added `codereview` to your workspace. The skill is now available."

## Notes

- - Creates `.openhands/skills/` directory if it doesn't exist

+ - Creates `.agents/skills/` directory if it doesn't exist

- Uses `GITHUB_TOKEN` for authentication (required for private repos)

- Warns before overwriting existing skills with the same name
