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):

File Updates Required
workflows/<name>/.claude/skill-source.json Add new skill source entry
workflows/<name>/README.md Skill count, skill table, pipeline
workflows/<name>/README_cn.md Same as above (Chinese)
workflows/<name>/AGENTS.md Available skills list, recommended sequences
website/content/en/workflows/<name>.mdx Skill count, skill table, pipeline
website/content/zh/workflows/<name>.mdx Same as above (Chinese)
README.md (root) Skill count in workflow table
README_cn.md (root) Same as above (Chinese)

Documentation Update Checklist

  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

    | `skill-name` | Brief description of what it does |
    
  3. Pipeline: Add skill to relevant stage if applicable

    Stage X: Category
    ├── existing-skill → Description
    └── new-skill → Description
    
  4. AGENTS.md: Add to available skills and update recommended sequences

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

Example: Adding Skills to talk-to-slidev-workflow

Given: Add slidev and slidev-presentations skills

Step 1: Download

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/
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/

Step 2: Read downloaded skills to understand their purpose

Step 3: Update skill-source.json with new skill entries

Step 4: Update all 8 files:

  • Update skill-source.json with source info
  • Update skill count
  • Add new category with skill table
  • Update pipeline to reference new skills
  • Update AGENTS.md skill lists and sequences
