quiz Frequently Asked Questions
How does SkillMD discover new skills?
SkillMD runs an automated scraper that scans active GitHub repositories for a valid SKILL.md file in the root or specified subfolders. If the file matches the YAML frontmatter schema, it gets indexed into our SQLite database immediately.
Why is my skill not showing up on the Explorer?
This usually happens for one of three reasons:
- The YAML frontmatter block has formatting syntax errors.
- Your repository is private (our scraper only indexes public repositories).
- The scraper has not crawled your repository yet. You can manually request indexing in the Admin Panel.
Can I run the CLI without installing it globally?
Yes! You can run the CLI using npx without installing it globally on your system. Simply use:
npx skillmd-cli add [repo-url] --skill [name]

"Command Not Found" error when running skills
Ensure that your Node.js global binaries folder is added to your system's PATH environment variable. If you installed via npm and it's still missing, try running via npx instead.
Rate limits during GitHub API downloads
For high frequency API requests, configure a GitHub Personal Access Token in your workspace environment as GITHUB_TOKEN to authenticate the CLI calls.
