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 /​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

After installation, proceed with user's original request.

Verification

Installed skills appear in system's <available_skills> automatically. Manual verification:

ls /​mnt/​skills/​user

Manual Installation

mkdir -p /​mnt/​skills/​user/​{skill-name}
