Sharing Skills

Overview

Contribute skills from your local branch back to the upstream repository.

Workflow: Branch → Edit/Create skill → Commit → Push → PR

When to Share

Share when:

  • Skill applies broadly (not project-specific)
  • Pattern/technique others would benefit from
  • Well-tested and documented
  • Follows writing-skills guidelines

Keep personal when:

  • Project-specific or organization-specific
  • Experimental or unstable
  • Contains sensitive information
  • Too narrow/niche for general use

Prerequisites

  • gh CLI installed and authenticated
  • Working directory is ~/.config/superpowers/skills/ (your local clone)
  • REQUIRED: Skill has been tested using writing-skills TDD process

Sharing Workflow

1. Ensure You're on Main and Synced

bash
cd ~/.config/superpowers/skills/
git checkout main
git pull upstream main
git push origin main  # Push to your fork

2. Create Feature Branch

bash
# Branch name: add-skillname-skill
skill_name="your-skill-name"
git checkout -b "add-${skill_name}-skill"

3. Create or Edit Skill

bash
# Work on your skill in skills/
# Create new skill or edit existing one
# Skill should be in skills/category/skill-name/SKILL.md

4. Commit Changes

bash
# Add and commit
git add skills/your-skill-name/
git commit -m "Add ${skill_name} skill

$(cat <<'EOF'
Brief description of what this skill does and why it's useful.

Tested with: [describe testing approach]
EOF
)"

5. Push to Your Fork

bash
git push -u origin "add-${skill_name}-skill"

6. Create Pull Request

bash
# Create PR to upstream using gh CLI
gh pr create \
  --repo upstream-org/upstream-repo \
  --title "Add ${skill_name} skill" \
  --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
Brief description of the skill and what problem it solves.

## Testing
Describe how you tested this skill (pressure scenarios, baseline tests, etc.).

## Context
Any additional context about why this skill is needed and how it should be used.
EOF
)"

Complete Example

Here's a complete example of sharing a skill called "async-patterns":

bash
# 1. Sync with upstream
cd ~/.config/superpowers/skills/
git checkout main
git pull upstream main
git push origin main

# 2. Create branch
git checkout -b "add-async-patterns-skill"

# 3. Create/edit the skill
# (Work on skills/async-patterns/SKILL.md)

# 4. Commit
git add skills/async-patterns/
git commit -m "Add async-patterns skill

Patterns for handling asynchronous operations in tests and application code.

Tested with: Multiple pressure scenarios testing agent compliance."

# 5. Push
git push -u origin "add-async-patterns-skill"

# 6. Create PR
gh pr create \
  --repo upstream-org/upstream-repo \
  --title "Add async-patterns skill" \
  --body "## Summary
Patterns for handling asynchronous operations correctly in tests and application code.

## Testing
Tested with multiple application scenarios. Agents successfully apply patterns to new code.

## Context
Addresses common async pitfalls like race conditions, improper error handling, and timing issues."

After PR is Merged

Once your PR is merged:

  1. Sync your local main branch:
bash
cd ~/.config/superpowers/skills/
git checkout main
git pull upstream main
git push origin main
  1. Delete the feature branch:
bash
git branch -d "add-${skill_name}-skill"
git push origin --delete "add-${skill_name}-skill"

Troubleshooting

"gh: command not found"

"Permission denied (publickey)"

"Skill already exists"

  • You're creating a modified version
  • Consider different skill name or coordinate with the skill's maintainer

PR merge conflicts

  • Rebase on latest upstream: git fetch upstream && git rebase upstream/main
  • Resolve conflicts
  • Force push: git push -f origin your-branch

Multi-Skill Contributions

Do NOT batch multiple skills in one PR.

Each skill should:

  • Have its own feature branch
  • Have its own PR
  • Be independently reviewable

Why? Individual skills can be reviewed, iterated, and merged independently.
