install
Install skills with a single install command from Cow Skill Hub, GitHub, ClawHub, or any URL (zip archives, SKILL.md links) — no manual download or configuration required.
From Skill Hub (recommended):
From GitHub:
# Install all skills in a repo (auto-discovers subdirectories with SKILL.md)
/skill install larksuite/cli
# Specify a subdirectory to install a single skill
/skill install https://github.com/larksuite/cli/tree/main/skills/lark-im
# Use # to specify a subdirectory
/skill install larksuite/cli#skills/lark-minutes
owner/repo shorthand. For mono-repos (multiple skills in one repository), omitting the subdirectory auto-discovers and batch-installs all skills; specifying a subdirectory installs only that skill.
From ClawHub:
/skill install clawhub:baidu-search
# Install from a zip archive (single or batch)
/skill install https://cdn.link-ai.tech/skills/pptx.zip
# Install from a SKILL.md link
/skill install https://example.com/path/to/SKILL.md
SKILL.md, with support for single or batch install. Also supports installing directly from a SKILL.md file URL, automatically parsing the skill name and description.

Uninstalling deletes all files in the skill directory. This action cannot be undone.
