Migrate Skills Between Libraries
When you're scaling up from a personal skill library to a team workspace or consolidating multiple libraries, this handles the export and import dance without breaking things. It walks you through listing skills in the source, then either vendoring house copies or re-cataloging upstream picks in the target. The guardrails are sensible: always dry run first, check for name collisions, and rebuild docs after. The gotcha worth knowing is that collection membership and dependencies don't transfer automatically, so you'll need to manually curate and verify the dependency graph after migration. It's basically the checklist you'd write yourself after doing this wrong once.

Migrate Skills Between Libraries
Goal
Move skills from one library workspace to another without losing metadata, breaking dependencies, or duplicating entries.
Guardrails
- Always use
--dry-runbefore any mutating command in the target workspace. - Always use
--listto inspect the source library before importing. - Always use
--format jsonfor structured output when scripting migrations. - Never import skills without checking for name collisions in the target workspace first.
- Always run
build-docsin the target workspace after migration.
Workflow
Export: Identify skills to migrate from the source library
- List all skills in the source workspace.
cd /path/to/source-library
npx ai-agent-skills list --format json --fields name,tier,workArea,collections
- For house copies, note the skill folder paths. For upstream picks, note the installSource.
Import: Add skills to the target workspace
- For house copies, use
vendorto copy the skill folder into the target:
