Skill Add — Zip Installer
Installs a skill from a zip URL or a local zip file path using the bundled install_from_zip.rb script.
How to Install
The script path is listed in the Supporting Files above (scripts/install_from_zip.rb) — use the full path directly, no find needed.
The script accepts either a remote URL or a local file path:
ruby "SKILL_DIR/scripts/install_from_zip.rb" <zip_url_or_path> [slug]
<zip_url_or_path>— a remotehttps://URL or an absolute/relative local path to a.zipfile[slug]— optional; the skill's directory name. If omitted, inferred from the filename (e.g.canvas-design-1.2.0.zip→canvas-design)
The script handles everything automatically:
- For URLs: downloads the zip (follows HTTP redirects)
- For local paths: reads the file directly (no download needed)
- Extracts and locates all
SKILL.mdfiles inside - Copies skill directories to
~/.clacky/skills/ - Reports installed skills with their descriptions
Do NOT manually download or unzip — the script handles everything.
Examples
From a remote URL:
/skill-add https://store.clacky.ai/skills/canvas-design-1.2.0.zip
ruby "SKILL_DIR/scripts/install_from_zip.rb" \
"https://store.clacky.ai/skills/canvas-design-1.2.0.zip" \
"canvas-design"
From a local file:
/skill-add /Users/alice/Downloads/my-skill-1.0.0.zip
ruby "SKILL_DIR/scripts/install_from_zip.rb" \
"/Users/alice/Downloads/my-skill-1.0.0.zip"
Notes
- Skills install to
~/.clacky/skills/by default - Local paths may be absolute (
/path/to/skill.zip) or use~(~/Downloads/skill.zip) - If the user doesn't provide a URL or path, ask them for the zip source
