Overview
Meta-skill that teaches agents how to integrate external skill repositories into the 1ai-skills library. Covers the full pipeline from discovery through validation, ensuring new skills are unique, properly formatted, correctly categorized, and quality-gated before merge.
Discovery
Before importing anything, understand what the external repo offers.
- Read the repo README for purpose, scope, and skill count
- Check if the repo uses SKILL.md files, AGENTS.md, or another structure
- List all skill files and extract their frontmatter (name, description, domain, tags)
- Identify the unique value — what does this repo offer that 1ai-skills does not already cover?
