Install From Remote Library
This is the disciplined way to pull skills from a shared library without installing everything or skipping the preview step. It enforces a three-step rhythm: inspect with `--list`, choose the smallest scope that fits (preferring `--collection` over individual skills when a starter pack exists), then preview with `--dry-run` before committing. The workflow stops you from guessing at skill names or blindly installing a whole repo when you only need two or three tools. If you're working with a team library or exploring someone else's skill collection, this keeps the process deliberate and your local skill folder clean.

Install From Remote Library
Goal
Install from a shared library repo without guessing, over-installing, or skipping the preview step.
Invariants
- Always inspect the remote library first with
install <source> --list. - Prefer
--collectionwhen the library clearly exposes a starter pack or focused bundle. - Always run
--dry-runbefore the real install. - Keep the install small. Do not pull a whole library when the user only needs a narrow slice.
Workflow
- Inspect the source library.
npx ai-agent-skills install <owner>/<repo> --list
- Choose the smallest fitting target.
- Prefer
--collection starter-packor another named collection when it matches the user's need. - Use
--skill <name>only when the user needs one specific skill or the library has no useful collection. - Do not combine
--collectionand--skill.
- Preview the install plan before mutating anything.
npx ai-agent-skills install <owner>/<repo> --collection starter-pack --dry-run -p
or
npx ai-agent-skills install <owner>/<repo> --skill <skill-name> --dry-run -p
- If the plan looks right, run the real install with the same scope.
