Local folder

Install skills from a directory on disk. The simplest source type - no network, no auth.

Input shapes

agentskills-cli add .                       # current directory
agentskills-cli add ./my-skill              # relative
agentskills-cli add ../shared/skill         # parent-relative
agentskills-cli add /abs/path/to/skill      # absolute (POSIX)
agentskills-cli add C:\skills\my-skill      # absolute (Windows)
agentskills-cli add C:/skills/my-skill      # also Windows

Detection rule

A source is treated as local if it:

• starts with ./, ../, .\ or ..\, OR
• is exactly . or .., OR
• is absolute (POSIX /... or Windows drive C:\ / C:/)

Layout

Skills are discovered using the same multi-pass strategy described in the overview. If your local source has skills directly at the root (./my-skill/SKILL.md), one folder under ./skills/, or under any of the priority directories, no extra configuration is needed.

When to use

• During development of a skill, before publishing
• For project-private skills that don't belong in a public registry
• CI bootstrap when the skill ships in the same repo as the code

For the published-distribution path, prefer NuGet or npm.
