Add New Skills to Workflow

Add skills from GitHub to an existing workflow and update all related documentation.

Workflow

Step 1: Download Skills

Use skill-downloader to download skills from GitHub:

python .claude/skills/skill-downloader/scripts/download_from_github.py <repo-url> <skill-path> --output <workflow-path>/.claude/skills/

Parse GitHub URL:

https://github.com/user/repo/blob/main/path/to/skill → repo: https://github.com/user/repo, skill-path: path/to/skill
https://github.com/user/repo/tree/main/.claude/skills/my-skill → repo: https://github.com/user/repo, skill-path: .claude/skills/my-skill

Example:

# For URL: https://github.com/XIYO/zheon/blob/main/.claude/skills/slidev
python .claude/skills/skill-downloader/scripts/download_from_github.py https://github.com/XIYO/zheon .claude/skills/slidev --output ./workflows/talk-to-slidev-workflow/.claude/skills/

# Use --force to overwrite existing
python .claude/skills/skill-downloader/scripts/download_from_github.py <repo> <path> --output <target> --force

Step 2: Read Downloaded Skill

Read the downloaded SKILL.md to understand:

Skill name and description
What category it belongs to
How it fits into the workflow pipeline

Step 3: Update skill-source.json

Add the new skill entry to workflows/<name>/.claude/skill-source.json:

{
  "skill-name": {
    "source": "https://github.com/user/repo",
    "path": "path/to/skill"
  }
}

Step 4: Update Documentation

Update these files (all that exist for the workflow):

| File | Updates Required | |------|------------------| | workflows/<name>/.claude/skill-source.json | Add new skill source entry | | workflows/<name>/README.md | Skill count, skill table, pipeline | | workflows/<name>/README_cn.md | Same as above (Chinese) | | workflows/<name>/AGENTS.md | Available skills list, recommended sequences | | website/content/en/workflows/<name>.mdx | Skill count, skill table, pipeline | | website/content/zh/workflows/<name>.mdx | Same as above (Chinese) | | README.md (root) | Skill count in workflow table | | README_cn.md (root) | Same as above (Chinese) |
