Skill Add — Zip Installer

Installs a skill from a zip URL or a local zip file path using the bundled

install_from_zip.rb
script.

How to Install

The script path is listed in the Supporting Files above (

scripts/install_from_zip.rb
) — use the full path directly, no
find
needed.

The script accepts either a remote URL or a local file path:

ruby "SKILL_DIR/scripts/install_from_zip.rb" <zip_url_or_path> [slug]
  • <zip_url_or_path>
    — a remote
    https://
    URL or an absolute/relative local path to a
    .zip
    file
  • [slug]
    — optional; the skill's directory name. If omitted, inferred from the filename (e.g.
    canvas-design-1.2.0.zip
    canvas-design
    )

The script handles everything automatically:

  • For URLs: downloads the zip (follows HTTP redirects)
  • For local paths: reads the file directly (no download needed)
  • Extracts and locates all
    SKILL.md
    files inside
  • Copies skill directories to
    ~/.clacky/skills/
  • Reports installed skills with their descriptions

Do NOT manually download or unzip — the script handles everything.

Examples

From a remote URL:

/skill-add https://store.clacky.ai/skills/canvas-design-1.2.0.zip
ruby "SKILL_DIR/scripts/install_from_zip.rb" \
  "https://store.clacky.ai/skills/canvas-design-1.2.0.zip" \
  "canvas-design"

From a local file:

/skill-add /Users/alice/Downloads/my-skill-1.0.0.zip
ruby "SKILL_DIR/scripts/install_from_zip.rb" \
  "/Users/alice/Downloads/my-skill-1.0.0.zip"

Notes

  • Skills install to
    ~/.clacky/skills/
    by default
  • Local paths may be absolute (
    /path/to/skill.zip
    ) or use
    ~
    (
    ~/Downloads/skill.zip
    )
  • If the user doesn't provide a URL or path, ask them for the zip source
