Skills Installer

Skills Installer

Install LiveAgent skills into the fixed runtime root while preserving existing user data.

Workflow

1. Determine the source type: ClawHub slug/search result, local skill directory, .zip or .skill archive, HTTP(S) download, or GitHub URL.
2. Determine the target destination. Runtime installs always go through SkillsManager into LiveAgent's fixed user Skills root.
3. For local workspace sources, pass workspace-relative paths such as ./my-skill or ./dist/my-skill.skill; LiveAgent resolves them against the current chat workspace before installing into the fixed skills root.
4. Read references/install-sources.md and references/safety-and-conflicts.md through file tools before replacing anything. Use path="skill://skills-installer/references/install-sources.md" and path="skill://skills-installer/references/safety-and-conflicts.md", or use the exact pathRef returned by a prior tool.
5. Use SkillsManager with action=list to inspect the skills enabled in the current conversation when conflict or inventory context matters.
6. Use SkillsManager with action=clawhub_search to find ClawHub skills when the user asks to search the public store, then use action=clawhub_install with the returned slug to install from ClawHub.
7. Use SkillsManager with action=install to import a direct local, archive, HTTP(S), or GitHub source. Prefer conflict=backup unless the user explicitly accepts replacement.
8. After installation, the new skill is enabled for the current conversation automatically; ask LiveAgent to rescan skills or reopen the Skills menu only if the new skill does not appear immediately.

Rules

• Do not install into the runtime skills root unless the user asked for runtime activation.
• Do not delete backups automatically.
• Treat a source as valid when it contains SKILL.md, skill.md, skill.json, or a fallback README.md.
• When inspecting or maintaining enabled installed skill files, use Read, List, Glob, Grep, Write, Edit, or Delete with the exact path you see: prefer skill://<baseDir>/... or a pathRef returned by a tool. Do not use Bash for workspace or Skill file operations.
• Use conflict=fail for dry safety checks, conflict=backup for upgrades, and conflict=overwrite only when the user explicitly accepts data replacement.
