Ai-Agent-Skills install-from-remote-library

Use when installing skills from a shared ai-agent-skills library repo. Inspect with `--list` first, prefer `--collection`, and preview with `--dry-run` before installing.

Install From Remote Library

Goal

Install from a shared library repo without guessing, over-installing, or skipping the preview step.

Invariants

Always inspect the remote library first with
```
install <source> --list
```
.
Prefer
```
--collection
```
when the library clearly exposes a starter pack or focused bundle.
Always run
```
--dry-run
```
before the real install.
Keep the install small. Do not pull a whole library when the user only needs a narrow slice.

Workflow

Inspect the source library.

npx ai-agent-skills install <owner>/<repo> --list

Choose the smallest fitting target.

Prefer
```
--collection starter-pack
```
or another named collection when it matches the user's need.
Use
```
--skill <name>
```
only when the user needs one specific skill or the library has no useful collection.
Do not combine
```
--collection
```
and
```
--skill
```
.

Preview the install plan before mutating anything.

npx ai-agent-skills install <owner>/<repo> --collection starter-pack --dry-run -p

npx ai-agent-skills install <owner>/<repo> --skill <skill-name> --dry-run -p

If the plan looks right, run the real install with the same scope.

npx ai-agent-skills install <owner>/<repo> --collection starter-pack -p

Decision Rules

If the library has a curated collection that already matches the user's stack, use it.
If the remote library is empty or the list output is unclear, stop and report that instead of guessing.
If the install path throws an
```
ERROR
```
/
```
HINT
```
, surface that verbatim and follow the hint before retrying.
If the user is exploring a large library, keep them in browse mode first rather than installing immediately.
