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 --collection when the library clearly exposes a starter pack or focused bundle.
Always run --dry-run before 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-pack or 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 --collection and --skill.

Preview the install plan before mutating anything.

npx ai-agent-skills install <owner>/<repo> --collection starter-pack --dry-run -p

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.

npx ai-agent-skills install <owner>/<repo> --collection starter-pack -p

Decision Rules

If the library has a curated collection that already matches the user's stack, use it.
If the remote library is empty or the list output is unclear, stop and report that instead of guessing.
If the install path throws an ERROR / HINT, surface that verbatim and follow the hint before retrying.
If the user is exploring a large library, keep them in browse mode first rather than installing immediately.

Done

Return:

what source library you inspected
which collection or skill you chose
the dry-run result
the exact final install command you used

Skill Creator

by anthropics

vendor ×10

Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, edit, or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.

Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.

Replace with description of the skill and when Claude should use it.

Dispatching Parallel Agents

by ZhanlinCui

×5

Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies

This skill should be used when the user wants to "create a skill", "add a skill to plugin", "write a new skill", "improve skill description", "organize skill content", or needs guidance on skill structure, progressive disclosure, or skill development best practices for Claude Code plugins.

Helps users discover and install agent skills when they ask questions like "how do I do X", "find a skill for X", "is there a skill that can...", or express interest in extending capabilities. This skill should be used when the user is looking for functionality that might exist as an installable skill.

Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deployment

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take moizibnyousaf/install-from-remote-library from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference npx. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
