Overview

Administrative workflows for contributing to and maintaining the agent-skills repository.

Trigger keywords

This skill activates when the user asks to:

  • Open a PR, submit skill changes, push a skill update, or create a pull request for the skills repo
  • Update an installed skill to the latest version
  • Contribute a new skill or fix to the repository

Workflows

1. Open a PR

See [workflows/open-pr.md] for full steps. Summary:

  1. Fork and clone the repo if first time (Step 0), then sync with upstream.
  2. Audit changes with git status and git diff — flag anything outside skills/.
  3. Summarise what will be committed and ask for confirmation.
  4. Commit with a conventional message (add:, update:, fix:, meta:).
  5. Push to a new branch on the fork, never to main.
  6. Open a PR against upstream via gh pr create and return the URL.
2. Update an Installed Skill

See [workflows/update-skill.md] for full steps. Summary:

  1. Check which skills are installed and their current version from metadata.json.
  2. Fetch the latest metadata.json from upstream to compare versions.
  3. Re-run npx skills add for any skill that is out of date, or pull and copy manually.
  4. Confirm the update succeeded by checking the installed metadata.json version.
