Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/moizibnyousaf/ai-agent-skills --skill migrate-skills-between-libraries
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads migrate-skills-between-libraries automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Migrate Skills Between Libraries

Goal

Move skills from one library workspace to another without losing metadata, breaking dependencies, or duplicating entries.

Guardrails

  • Always use --dry-run before any mutating command in the target workspace.
  • Always use --list to inspect the source library before importing.
  • Always use --format json for structured output when scripting migrations.
  • Never import skills without checking for name collisions in the target workspace first.
  • Always run build-docs in the target workspace after migration.

Workflow

Export: Identify skills to migrate from the source library

  1. List all skills in the source workspace.
cd /path/to/source-library
npx ai-agent-skills list --format json --fields name,tier,workArea,collections
  1. For house copies, note the skill folder paths. For upstream picks, note the installSource.

Import: Add skills to the target workspace

  1. For house copies, use vendor to copy the skill folder into the target:
cd /path/to/target-library
npx ai-agent-skills vendor /path/to/source-library --skill <name> --area <workArea> --branch <branch> --why "Migrated from source library." --dry-run
npx ai-agent-skills vendor /path/to/source-library --skill <name> --area <workArea> --branch <branch> --why "Migrated from source library."
  1. For upstream picks, use catalog to re-catalog from the original source:
npx ai-agent-skills catalog <owner>/<repo> --skill <name> --area <workArea> --branch <branch> --why "Migrated from source library." --dry-run
npx ai-agent-skills catalog <owner>/<repo> --skill <name> --area <workArea> --branch <branch> --why "Migrated from source library."
  1. Rebuild docs in the target workspace.
npx ai-agent-skills build-docs
  1. Validate the target workspace.
npx ai-agent-skills validate

Gotchas

  • Skill names must be unique per workspace. Check for collisions before importing.
  • House copies are full folder copies — the source and target are independent after migration.
  • Upstream picks re-catalog from the original upstream source, not the intermediate library.
  • Dependencies (requires field) must also be migrated. Check info --format json for each skill's dependency graph.
  • Collection membership does not transfer automatically. Use curate --collection <id> to add migrated skills to target collections.

google-agents-cli-publish

google/agents-cli

This skill should be used when the user wants to "publish an agent", "publish my ADK agent", "register an agent with Gemini", "publish to Gemini" (formerly Gemini Enterprise), or needs guidance on the agents-cli publish gemini command. Also use when the user wants to "manage agents in Agent Registry", "list/update/delete registered agents", or "register an MCP server". Covers ADK vs A2A registration modes, programmatic and interactive usage, flag reference, auto-detection from deployment metadata, Agent Registry fleet management, and troubleshooting. Part of the agents-cli skills suite. Do NOT use for deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy).

This skill should be used when the user wants to "run an evaluation", "evaluate my agent", "evaluate my ADK agent", "write an eval dataset", "analyze eval failures", "compare eval results", "optimize agent", or needs guidance on the Gemini platform eval methodology and the Quality Flywheel. Covers eval metrics, dataset schema, LLM-as-judge scoring, and common failure causes. Applies to any agents-cli project, whatever framework the agent is written in. Do NOT use for agent API code patterns (ADK: use google-agents-cli-adk-code), deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy), or project scaffolding (use google-agents-cli-scaffold).

codex-pet

prime-skills/runcomfy-agent-skills

Codex Pet generator on RunComfy. Build a Codex-compatible Codex Pet spritesheet.webp + pet.json from a single reference image, drop it into ${CODEXHOME:-$HOME/.codex}/pets/ / and Codex picks it up as a custom Codex Pet next to the 8 built-ins. This skill produces the exact Codex Pet atlas Codex expects (1536x1872 PNG/WebP, 8 cols x 9 rows, 192x208 cells, 9 animation states — idle, running-right, running-left, waving, jumping, failed, waiting, running, review). Calls OpenAI GPT Image 2 edit ONCE via the local RunComfy CLI as runcomfy run openai/gpt-image-2/edit to produce a canonical Codex Pet pose, then assembles all 9 animation rows programmatically with ImageMagick micro-transforms — no Codex Pro, no $imagegen, no OPENAIAPIKEY required, only RUNCOMFYTOKEN. Triggers on "codex pet", "create codex pet", "make codex pet", "hatch codex pet", "/hatch image", "desktop pet codex", "codex pets", "spritesheet.webp", or any explicit ask to build a custom pet for OpenAI Codex.
