Installing skills

All skills in this hub follow the open Agent Skills specification and install via any compatible CLI. Pick whichever is easiest — the outcome is identical.

The official GitHub CLI extension (v2.90+). Lets you preview before installing.

Terminal window
gh skill install oharu121/skills <name>

Preview first:

Terminal window
gh skill preview oharu121/skills <name>

Replace <name> with the skill slug (e.g., aws-architecture-diagram).

By default the skill installs into the current project’s .claude/skills/ directory. To install user-scoped (available in every project at ~/.claude/skills/), pass -g:

Terminal window
gh skill install -g oharu121/skills <name>
npx skills add -g oharu121/skills/<name>

Which scope is right depends on the skill:

  • Project scope — when the skill reads project files (generate-bruno-files, devio, release)
  • User scope — when the skill is a personal helper (aws-architecture-diagram, aws-cost-estimate)
  1. Update — re-install with the same command to pull the latest version, or use the explicit update command:

    Terminal window
    gh skill update oharu121/skills/<name>
    npx skills update oharu121/skills/<name>
  2. Remove — the inverse:

    Terminal window
    gh skill remove oharu121/skills/<name>
    npx skills remove oharu121/skills/<name>

Primary target: Claude Code (Anthropic’s official CLI). Some skills use Claude-specific frontmatter like user-invocable: true, which makes them callable as /skill-name slash commands.

Secondary targets: any agent supported by the gh skill or npx skills CLIs. Both auto-detect .claude/, .cursor/, .codex/, and 40+ other agent directories. Skills will still work in those environments, but features like AskUserQuestion may degrade to plain-text prompts, and the /skill-name invocation syntax may not be available.

Some skills need setup on first run (e.g. bedrock-ops needs aws-project.json, release offers to save preferences to config.json). That setup is documented on each skill’s page under “How it works” or “Setup”.
