skill-add

skill-add is a skill for Claude Code from clacky-ai/openclacky. It costs 89 tokens per session (586 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill installer that adds coding-agent skills from a ZIP file stored locally or at a web address. It extracts the archive, finds its skill instructions, and places them in the agent's skills directory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install a skill from a ZIP URL or local ZIP path, optionally giving the installed skill a directory name.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of downloading, unpacking, locating, and copying skill files.

About the project

OpenClacky is an open-source AI coding agent that uses OpenAI-compatible models to perform tasks through tools and subagents. It is intended for developers who want an agent with flexible model choice and lower token usage. The catalogue skills and agents extend its workflows and capabilities.

Getting it into your agent

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

Made for: Claude Code.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

skill-add scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/install_from_zip.rb), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

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.zipcanvas-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
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
