| 89 | Long: heredoc.Docf(` |
| 90 | Install agent skills from a GitHub repository or local directory into |
| 91 | your local environment. Skills are placed in a host-specific directory |
| 92 | at either project scope (inside the current git repository) or user |
| 93 | scope (in your home directory, available everywhere). |
| 94 | |
| 95 | A wide range of AI coding agents are supported, including GitHub |
| 96 | Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, Antigravity, Amp, |
| 97 | Devin, Goose, Grok, Junie, OpenCode, and many more. |
| 98 | |
| 99 | Supported %[1]s--agent%[1]s values: |
| 100 | |
| 101 | %[2]s |
| 102 | |
| 103 | Use %[1]s--agent%[1]s and %[1]s--scope%[1]s to control placement, or %[1]s--dir%[1]s for a |
| 104 | custom directory. The default scope is %[1]sproject%[1]s, and the default |
| 105 | agent is %[1]sgithub-copilot%[1]s (when running non-interactively). |
| 106 | |
| 107 | At project scope, several agents (including GitHub Copilot, Cursor, |
| 108 | Codex, Gemini CLI, Antigravity, Amp, Cline, OpenCode, and Warp) share |
| 109 | the %[1]s.agents/skills%[1]s directory. If you select multiple hosts that |
| 110 | resolve to the same destination, each skill is installed there only once. |
| 111 | |
| 112 | The first argument is a GitHub repository in %[1]sOWNER/REPO%[1]s format. |
| 113 | Use %[1]s--from-local%[1]s to install from a local directory instead. |
| 114 | Local skills are auto-discovered using the same conventions as remote |
| 115 | repositories, and files are copied (not symlinked) with local-path |
| 116 | tracking metadata injected into frontmatter. |
| 117 | |
| 118 | Skills are discovered automatically using the %[1]sskills/*/SKILL.md%[1]s convention |
| 119 | defined by the Agent Skills specification, including when the %[1]sskills/%[1]s |
| 120 | directory is nested under a prefix (e.g. %[1]sterraform/code-generation/skills/...%[1]s). |
| 121 | For more information on the specification, |
| 122 | see: https://agentskills.io/specification |
| 123 | |
| 124 | The skill argument can be a name, a namespaced name (%[1]sauthor/skill%[1]s), |
| 125 | or an exact path within the repository (%[1]sskills/author/skill%[1]s, |
| 126 | %[1]spackages/agent-skills/code-review%[1]s, or any %[1]s.../SKILL.md%[1]s path). |
| 127 | Namespaced names with one slash are matched by name. Use a %[1]sSKILL.md%[1]s |
| 128 | suffix to force a one-directory path outside the standard conventions. |
| 129 | |
| 130 | Performance tip: when installing from a large repository with many |
| 131 | skills, providing an exact path instead of a skill name avoids a |
| 132 | full tree traversal of the repository, making the install significantly faster. |
