Skill instructions
Skill Installer Helps install skills. By default these are from https://github.com/openai/skills/tree/main/skills/.curated, but users can also provide other locations. Use the helper scripts based on the task: - List skills when the user asks what is available, or if the user uses this skill without specifying what to do. Default listing is .curated, but you can pass --path skills/.experimental when they ask about experimental skills. - Install from the curated list when the user provides a skill name. - Install from another repo when the user provides a GitHub repo/path (including private repos). Install skills with the helper scripts. Communication When listing skills, output approximately as follows, depending on the context of the user's request. If they ask about experimental skills, list from .experimental instead of .curated and label the source accordingly: """ Skills from {repo}: 1. skill-1 2. skill-2 (already installed) 3. ... Which ones would you like installed? """ After in
