skill-import

skill-import is a skill for Claude Code from Xakki/ai-agents-skills. It costs 126 tokens per session (687 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for finding and importing reusable skills from external Git repositories into a project's .claude/skills/ folder. It can match available skills to project needs and track imported skills for updates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover suitable skills, import selected skills, list imported skills, add source repositories, or update one or all imported skills.
Why use it?
It removes the need to search repositories and copy skills by hand. It also provides a way to refresh imported skills when their source changes.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT variable. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Part of the ai-agents-skills plugin — 23 skills, 3 agents, 6 hooks shipped together

Good fit Use it to discover suitable skills, import selected skills, list imported skills, add source repositories, or update one or all imported skills.

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-import 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 12 executable files (build-catalog.sh, import-skill.sh, test/build-catalog-hybrid.test.sh, …), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 49 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

skill-import

Copies skills from configured source repos into <project>/.claude/skills/, matched to what the project actually needs. Catalog is built on the fly into a cache; imported skills are tracked for updates.

Set ROOT="${AI_AGENTS_SKILLS_ROOT:-${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${PLUGIN_ROOT:-${CURSOR_PLUGIN_ROOT:-}}}}". Scripts run via "$ROOT"/skills/skill-import/<script>: build-catalog.sh, import-skill.sh, update-imported.sh. Config: sources.tsv (append a row to add a repo). Details, catalog/manifest formats and the matcher prompt: reference.md.

Modes

Mode What it does
discover (default) build catalog → delegate matching to a subagent → present options in the user's language → import chosen
update update-imported.sh [skill|--all] — re-sync imported skills
list show <project>/.claude/skills/.imported.tsv
add-source append a name<TAB>url<TAB>type row to sources.tsv

Discover (happy path)

  1. Build/refresh the catalog: bash "$ROOT"/skills/skill-import/build-catalog.sh (writes ${SKILL_IMPORT_CACHE:-~/.cache/skill-import}/catalog.tsv).
  2. Delegate matching to a subagent — do NOT read the full catalog into the main thread. Hand the subagent the catalog path and the project's doc paths (README*, CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md, stack manifests). It returns a ranked shortlist: skill · source · kind · location · why_relevant (English). See the matcher prompt in reference.md.
  3. Present the shortlist to the user in their language (translate the description + why-relevant). Let them choose.
  4. Import each chosen skill: bash "$ROOT"/skills/skill-import/import-skill.sh <source> <skill> (run from the project root, or pass --project <dir>).
  5. The import stages files; commit via the git-flow skill.

Safety

  • Sources are read-only; scripts never push to them.
  • Import never overwrites an existing project skill without --force.
  • Update never overwrites a differing copy without --force (shows the diff).
  • Copy stages only — commits are git-flow's job.

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.
