FAQPage Schema
How do I install shared skills from a GitHub repository into my project?▼

You can install shared skills by providing a GitHub repository path to the installer. It retrieves the skills from any GitHub path, including private repositories with optional authentication, and places them in project-local or global directories.

What are curated skills and how do I list available ones?▼

Curated skills are pre-selected shared tools ready for discovery. You can list available skills from both curated and experimental pools to browse options before choosing which ones to install into your environment.

Can I install skills globally or are they restricted to the local project?▼

Skills can be installed to both project-local and global locations. The installer targets your chosen directory and prompts for a Bub restart to ensure the newly installed skills are loaded and picked up correctly.

Does the skill installer support private GitHub repositories?▼

Yes, the skill installer supports private GitHub repositories. You can install skills from private repo paths by supplying optional authentication credentials to access and retrieve the skill files securely.

Why do I need to restart after installing a new skill?▼

A restart is needed to pick up new skills because the environment must refresh its loaded components. After installation, Bub prompts for a restart to ensure the newly added skills are recognized and actively available.
