# Skills Installer

Skills Installer installs, lists, validates, and packages LiveAgent skills. Use it to inspect enabled skills, import local or archive sources, search and install from ClawHub, or install from URL sources while preserving backups and handling conflicts.

**Install:**

```bash
npx degit https://github.com/Stack-Cairn/LiveAgent/tree/main/crates/agent-gui/src-tauri/prompt/skills/skills-installer ~/.claude/skills/skills-installer
```

## README

# Skills Installer

Install LiveAgent skills into the fixed runtime root while preserving existing user data.

## Workflow

1. Determine the source type: ClawHub slug/search result, local skill directory, `.zip` or `.skill` archive, HTTP(S) download, or GitHub URL.
2. Determine the target destination. Runtime installs always go through `SkillsManager` into LiveAgent's fixed user Skills root.
3. For local workspace sources, pass workspace-relative paths such as `./my-skill` or `./dist/my-skill.skill`; LiveAgent resolves them against the current chat workspace before installing into the fixed skills root.
4. Read `references/install-sources.md` and `references/safety-and-conflicts.md` through file tools before replacing anything. Use `path="skill://skills-installer/references/install-sources.md"` and `path="skill://skills-installer/references/safety-and-conflicts.md"`, or use the exact `pathRef` returned by a prior tool.
5. Use `SkillsManager` with `action=list` to inspect the skills enabled in the current conversation when conflict or inventory context matters.
6. Use `SkillsManager` with `action=clawhub_search` to find ClawHub skills when the user asks to search the public store, then use `action=clawhub_install` with the returned `slug` to install from ClawHub.
7. Use `SkillsManager` with `action=install` to import a direct local, archive, HTTP(S), or GitHub source. Prefer `conflict=backup` unless the user explicitly accepts replacement.
8. After installation, the new skill is enabled for the current conversation automatically; ask LiveAgent to rescan skills or reopen the Skills menu only if the new skill does not appear immediately.

## Commands

```bash
SkillsManager(action=list)
SkillsManager(action=clawhub_search, query=memory, limit=10)
SkillsManager(action=clawhub_search, sort=downloads, limit=10)
SkillsManager(action=clawhub_install, slug=example-skill, conflict=backup)
SkillsManager(action=install, source=./my-skill)
SkillsManager(action=install, source=./dist/my-skill.skill)
SkillsManager(action=install, source=https://github.com/owner/repo/tree/main/skills/my-skill)
SkillsManager(action=validate, name=my-skill)
SkillsManager(action=package, name=my-skill)
```

## Rules

- Do not install into the runtime skills root unless the user asked for runtime activation.
- Do not delete backups automatically.
- Treat a source as valid when it contains `SKILL.md`, `skill.md`, `skill.json`, or a fallback `README.md`.
- When inspecting or maintaining enabled installed skill files, use `Read`, `List`, `Glob`, `Grep`, `Write`, `Edit`, or `Delete` with the exact path you see: prefer `skill://<baseDir>/...` or a `pathRef` returned by a tool. Do not use Bash for workspace or Skill file operations.
- Use `conflict=fail` for dry safety checks, `conflict=backup` for upgrades, and `conflict=overwrite` only when the user explicitly accepts data replacement.
