GitLab

Behaves like GitHub - same git clone --depth 1 mechanic, same auth story (inherits your local git config). Subgroups are fully supported.

Input shapes

# Prefix shorthand
agentskills-cli add gitlab:group/repo

# Full URL - simple
agentskills-cli add https://gitlab.com/group/repo

# Full URL - with subgroup
agentskills-cli add https://gitlab.com/group/subgroup/repo

# Full URL - with /-/tree/<ref>/<path>
agentskills-cli add https://gitlab.com/group/repo/-/tree/main/skills/my-skill

Detection rule

A source is treated as GitLab if it's a URL with hostname gitlab.com or its path matches the GitLab tree pattern (/-/tree/<ref>), or it starts with gitlab:.

Self-hosted GitLab

Self-hosted GitLab URLs (e.g., https://git.contoso.com/group/repo) are treated as arbitrary git URLs by default - they still clone correctly, just without GitLab-specific URL parsing for subpaths. If you have a use case for first-class self-hosted GitLab detection, open an issue.

update limitation

GitLab tree-SHA detection isn't implemented in v1; update reports GitLab sources as Skipped with the reason GitLab - Trees API not implemented in v1. To refresh a GitLab-sourced skill, re-run add manually.
