Skill Installer

Agent Building
skill-installer

Skill Installer is an Agent Skill for agent building published in the Hmbown/CodeWhale repository on GitHub: a SKILL.md instruction file an AI agent can load to do this task.

Install, update, trust, or inspect DeepSeek skills from GitHub or local skill folders. Use when the user asks for available skills or wants a community skill installed.

QUICK START

How to use this skill

Bring this guide into your coding agent with a prompt tailored to the tool you use.

  1. Open your project in Codex.
  2. Copy and paste the prompt below.
  3. Review files and risks before approving any action.
Prompt to paste
Inspect the Agent Skill at https://github.com/Hmbown/CodeWhale/blob/HEAD/crates/tui/assets/skills/skill-installer/SKILL.md and all supporting files. Report provenance, permissions, scripts, dependencies, and security risks. Propose an exact installation into .agents/skills/skill-installer, but wait for my approval before writing files or running scripts.

Copying this prompt does not install or run the skill. Review third-party files before use.

Skill Installer

Use this skill when the user wants to find, install, update, trust, or remove a DeepSeek skill.

Commands

  • List installed skills: /skills
  • Activate a skill: /skill <name>
  • Scaffold a new skill: /skill new
  • Install from GitHub: /skill install github:<owner>/<repo>
  • Update installed skills: /skill update
  • Remove a skill: /skill uninstall <name>
  • Trust a skill for script/tool use: /skill trust <name>

Workflow

  1. Identify the source:
    • Existing local folder with SKILL.md
    • GitHub repo or registry entry
    • User request for a new skill scaffold
  2. Prefer DeepSeek's native /skill commands over ad hoc copying.
  3. For GitHub/community skills, inspect the SKILL.md before recommending trust. Treat scripts and companion files as untrusted until reviewed.
  4. After installing, tell the user to restart the session if the skill does not appear immediately in the available-skills list.
  5. If a skill conflicts by name with a workspace skill, explain that workspace skill directories take precedence over global ~/.deepseek/skills.

Do not execute community skill scripts unless the user explicitly asks and the skill has been reviewed or trusted.
