Fetched SKILL.md; frontmatter parses with name+description. Verified the referenced script .claude/skills/skill-downloader/scripts/download_from_github.py returns HTTP 200 and actually ran it in a temp HOME: it git-cloned anthropics/skills and copied the pdf skill into a mock workflow (clean — uses git clone + tempfile + shutil, no curl|sh or exfiltration). For OUTPUT I built two identical mock workflows with the 8 doc files the skill enumerates and added the pdf skill to each. Baseline (obvious edits only) left 4 files stale — grep -rl '(1)' matched root README_cn.md, workflow README_cn.md, and both website en/zh mdx — while the skill's 8-file checklist produced zero stale files (all mirrors consistent). Concrete measured difference; the skill's value is the exhaustive file enumeration catching easily-missed Chinese mirrors and website pages, though it is a disciplined checklist rather than deep reasoning.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 6/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What Add New Skills To Workflow does
A repo-maintenance skill for the nicepkg/ai-workflow project that downloads a skill from a GitHub URL into a chosen workflow (via the sibling skill-downloader script) and then updates every related doc: skill-source.json, the workflow's README/README_cn/AGENTS.md, the website en/zh mdx pages, and the root README skill count. Triggers when the user asks to add a skill from a GitHub URL to a workflow or to update workflow documentation after a skill addition. Only meaningful inside the ai-workflow repo, whose workflows/, website/content/, and skill-downloader layout it assumes.
How to install Add New Skills To Workflow
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nicepkg/ai-workflow.git /tmp/add-new-skills-to-workflow-src
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/add-new-skills-to-workflow-src/.claude/skills/add-new-skills-to-workflow ~/.claude/skills/add-new-skills-to-workflow
# DEPENDENCY: this skill shells out to the sibling skill-downloader script. Copy it too:
cp -R /tmp/add-new-skills-to-workflow-src/.claude/skills/skill-downloader ~/.claude/skills/skill-downloader
# Requires: python3 (3.10+) and git on PATH (the downloader uses `git clone`).
# NOTE: the skill body operates on ai-workflow's own layout (workflows/<name>/, website/content/en|zh, root README).
# It only does useful work when run from inside a clone of nicepkg/ai-workflow.
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
