Skills Installer
Install, list, validate, and package LiveAgent skills from various sources.
Installation
- Make sure Claude is on your device and in your terminal.
Skills load from
~/.claude/skills/when Claude Code starts up — so you need it on your machine first. If you don't have it yet, install it once with the command below, then runclaudein any terminal to verify.One-time setupnpm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-codeAlready have it? Skip ahead.
- Paste into Claude Code or into your terminal.
This copies the whole skill folder into
~/.claude/skills/skills-installer-stack-cairn/— the SKILL.md plus any scripts, reference docs, or templates the skill ships with. Safe default: works for every skill.Faster alternative (instruction-only skills)
Skips the clone and grabs only the SKILL.md file. Don't use this if the skill ships Python scripts, reference markdowns, or asset templates — they won't be downloaded and the skill will fail when it tries to load them.
Quick install (SKILL.md only)Sign up to copy - Restart Claude Code.
Quit and reopen Claude Code (or any other agent that loads from
~/.claude/skills/). New skills are picked up on startup. - Just ask Claude.
Skills auto-activate when your request matches the skill's description — no slash command needed. Trigger phrases live in the skill's own frontmatter; you can read them in the “What this skill does” section above.
Prefer to read the source first? Open on GitHub.
When Claude uses it
Install, list enabled, validate, or package LiveAgent skills. Use when you need to inspect the skills enabled in the current conversation, import a local skill directory or package, search/install from ClawHub, install from a GitHub repo/tree URL, or reconcile conflicts during an upgrade.
What this skill does
Skills Installer
Install LiveAgent skills into the fixed runtime root while preserving existing user data.
Workflow
- Determine the source type: ClawHub slug/search result, local skill directory,
.zipor.skillarchive, HTTP(S) download, or GitHub URL. - Determine the target destination. Runtime installs always go through
SkillsManagerinto LiveAgent's fixed user Skills root. - For local workspace sources, pass workspace-relative paths such as
./my-skillor./dist/my-skill.skill; LiveAgent resolves them against the current chat workspace before installing into the fixed skills root. - Read
references/install-sources.mdandreferences/safety-and-conflicts.mdthrough file tools before replacing anything. Usepath="skill://skills-installer/references/install-sources.md"andpath="skill://skills-installer/references/safety-and-conflicts.md", or use the exactpathRefreturned by a prior tool. - Use
SkillsManagerwithaction=listto inspect the skills enabled in the current conversation when conflict or inventory context matters. - Use
SkillsManagerwithaction=clawhub_searchto find ClawHub skills when the user asks to search the public store, then useaction=clawhub_installwith the returnedslugto install from ClawHub. - Use
SkillsManagerwithaction=installto import a direct local, archive, HTTP(S), or GitHub source. Preferconflict=backupunless the user explicitly accepts replacement. - 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
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 fallbackREADME.md. - When inspecting or maintaining enabled installed skill files, use
Read,List,Glob,Grep,Write,Edit, orDeletewith the exact path you see: preferskill://<baseDir>/...or apathRefreturned by a tool. Do not use Bash for workspace or Skill file operations. - Use
conflict=failfor dry safety checks,conflict=backupfor upgrades, andconflict=overwriteonly when the user explicitly accepts data replacement.
