• Open a PR, submit skill changes, push a skill update, or create a pull request for the skills repo
• Update an installed skill to the latest version
• Contribute a new skill or fix to the repository

Workflows

1. Open a PR

See [workflows/open-pr.md] for full steps. Summary:

1. Fork and clone the repo if first time (Step 0), then sync with upstream.
2. Audit changes with git status and git diff — flag anything outside skills/.
3. Summarise what will be committed and ask for confirmation.
4. Commit with a conventional message (add:, update:, fix:, meta:).
5. Push to a new branch on the fork, never to main.
6. Open a PR against upstream via gh pr create and return the URL.

2. Update an Installed Skill

See [workflows/update-skill.md] for full steps. Summary:

1. Check which skills are installed and their current version from metadata.json.
2. Fetch the latest metadata.json from upstream to compare versions.
3. Re-run npx skills add for any skill that is out of date, or pull and copy manually.
4. Confirm the update succeeded by checking the installed metadata.json version.
