Individual skill

skill-installer

Install or remove third-party openscience skills from a public git repository. Use when the user says "add this skill <url>", "install skill <url>", or "remove skill <namespace>". The skill runs locally via `openscience skill add|list|remove`, fetches the repo, runs a 6-layer safety gate (regex + server-side Haiku classifier), prompts the user to confirm, then writes the skills to ~/.openscience/installed-skills/ and uploads to the dashboard for cross-machine sync.

# Skill Installer

## Overview

Installs URL-supplied third-party skills into the openscience CLI. The skill itself is a thin wrapper around the bundled `openscience skill` bash subcommand — when the user expresses install/uninstall intent, invoke `openscience skill add|list|remove` via the `bash` tool. The CLI handles fetching, the safety gate, confirmation, on-disk write, and cross-machine sync.

## When to Use This Skill

Trigger on user messages like:

- "Add this skill: <url>"
- "Install <url>" / "Install the skill at <url>"
- "Set up skills from <repo>"
- "Remove the X skill" / "Uninstall <namespace>"
