Skill Installer

Use this skill when the user wants to find, install, update, trust, or remove a DeepSeek skill.

Commands

  • List installed skills: /skills
  • Activate a skill: /skill <name>
  • Scaffold a new skill: /skill new
  • Install from GitHub: /skill install github:<owner>/<repo>
  • Update installed skills: /skill update
  • Remove a skill: /skill uninstall <name>
  • Trust a skill for script/tool use: /skill trust <name>

Workflow

  1. Identify the source:
    • Existing local folder with SKILL.md
    • GitHub repo or registry entry
    • User request for a new skill scaffold
  2. Prefer DeepSeek's native /skill commands over ad hoc copying.
  3. For GitHub/community skills, inspect the SKILL.md before recommending trust. Treat scripts and companion files as untrusted until reviewed.
  4. After installing, tell the user to restart the session if the skill does not appear immediately in the available-skills list.
  5. If a skill conflicts by name with a workspace skill, explain that workspace skill directories take precedence over global ~/.deepseek/skills.

Do not execute community skill scripts unless the user explicitly asks and the skill has been reviewed or trusted.
