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
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
Step 2: Read Downloaded Skill
