Add New Skills to Workflow

Add skills from GitHub to an existing workflow and update all related documentation.

Workflow

Step 1: Download Skills

Use skill-downloader to download skills from GitHub:

python .claude/skills/skill-downloader/scripts/download_from_github.py <repo-url> <skill-path> --output <workflow-path>/.claude/skills/

Parse GitHub URL:

• https://github.com/user/repo/blob/main/path/to/skill → repo: https://github.com/user/repo, skill-path: path/to/skill
• https://github.com/user/repo/tree/main/.claude/skills/my-skill → repo: https://github.com/user/repo, skill-path: .claude/skills/my-skill

Example:

# For URL: https://github.com/XIYO/zheon/blob/main/.claude/skills/slidev
python .claude/skills/skill-downloader/scripts/download_from_github.py https://github.com/XIYO/zheon .claude/skills/slidev --output ./workflows/talk-to-slidev-workflow/.claude/skills/

# Use --force to overwrite existing
python .claude/skills/skill-downloader/scripts/download_from_github.py <repo> <path> --output <target> --force

Step 2: Read Downloaded Skill

Read the downloaded SKILL.md to understand:

• Skill name and description
• What category it belongs to
• How it fits into the workflow pipeline

Step 3: Update skill-source.json

Add the new skill entry to workflows/<name>/.claude/skill-source.json:

{
  "skill-name": {
    "source": "https://github.com/user/repo",
    "path": "path/to/skill"
  }
}

Step 4: Update Documentation

Update these files (all that exist for the workflow):

1. Skill Count: Update total count (e.g., "18 skills" → "20 skills")

   • Quick install comment
   • Section header
   • Description text

2. Skill Table: Add new skill row in appropriate category

   markdownCopy

   | `skill-name` | Brief description of what it does |
   

3. Pipeline: Add skill to relevant stage if applicable

   Copy

   Stage X: Category

4. AGENTS.md: Add to available skills and update recommended sequences

5. Root README: Update skill count in workflow overview table

python .claude/skills/skill-downloader/scripts/download_from_github.py https://github.com/clearfunction/cf-devtools skills/slidev-presentations --output ./workflows/talk-to-slidev-workflow/.claude/skills/
