## Available Skills

## SKILL.md Layout

```text
skill-name/
  SKILL.md       # Agent instructions (required); frontmatter: name, description, metadata.author, metadata.version
  scripts/       # Helper scripts (optional)
  references/    # Supporting docs (optional)
```

## Install

```bash
npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills          # Native CLI
aidevops skill add vercel-labs/agent-skills       # aidevops (preferred)
/add-skill vercel-labs/agent-skills --name vercel-deploy  # With custom name
```

Installed skills are auto-detected; relevant requests trigger them automatically ("deploy my app" → `vercel-deploy`).

## aidevops Import Flow

`add-skill-helper.sh` imports Agent Skills by:

1. Clones the repo (`git clone --depth 1`)
2. Detects SKILL.md format, converts frontmatter to aidevops style
3. Places in `.agents/tools/deployment/` (or category-appropriate directory)
4. Registers in `.agents/configs/skill-sources.json` for update tracking
5. `setup.sh` creates symlinks to all AI assistant skill directories

Imported skills get a `-skill` suffix (for example `vercel-deploy-skill.md`) to distinguish them from native subagents. See `tools/build-agent/add-skill.md`.
