gist-skills

What problem does it solve?

This Skill standardizes saving and loading skills to a GitHub Gist, addressing the friction of managing multiple skill definitions and keeping them portable across machines by centralizing SKILL.md in a gist.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Save a skill to a gist using a structured main file named SKILL.md, with a descriptive per-skill context, so the gist contains the authoritative version.
• Load a skill from a gist into the local skills directory at .claude/skills/<skill-name>.
• Update, version, and synchronize skills by editing the gist and pulling changes.

Quick Start

Push the SKILL.md to a new gist and clone it into your local skill directory:

• pushd <dir-of-the-SKILL.md>
• git remote get-url origin If the output is not gist.github.com, run:
• gh gist create SKILL.md -p -d "gist-skills/SKILL.md <tag> <tag> <tag>"
• echo "<description of the skill>" | gh gist edit <gist-id> -a ".gist-skills.SKILL.md"
• git init && git remote set-url origin <gist-url>.git If the output is https://gist.github.com/<gist-id>.git:
• gh gist edit <gist-id> SKILL.md Finally
• popd
