Excerpt

Add Skill

Copy a skill from a source path to the project, verify naming consistency, and generate README.md if missing.

Usage

/add-skill <source-path>

Arguments:

<source-path> - Path to the skill directory to add (required)

Examples:

/add-skill ~/.claude/skills/my-skill
/add-skill ~/workspace/other-project/skills/awesome-skill
/add-skill /home/leo/workspace/softaworks/projects/claude-plugins/plugins/planning/skills/spec-interview

Workflow

1. Validate Source Path

Check that the source path exists and is a directory:

if [ -d "<source-path>" ]; then
  echo "Source path exists"
else
  echo "Error: Source path does not exist or is not a directory"
  exit 1
fi

If source path is invalid, stop and report the error to the user.
