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 remote https:// URL or an absolute/relative local path to a .zip file
[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.md files 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
