What it does

Skill Pull is an agent skill from dimetron/pi-go. Pull skills from a remote GitHub repository into the local skills directory. Use when the user wants to install shared skills.

Its SKILL.md is about 360 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Go implementation of AI coding agent. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to install shared skills

Example prompts

  • “/skill-pull”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Parse the source argument
  2. For GitHub repos, use git clone --depth 1 into a temp directory
  3. Find skill directories: look for skills/*/SKILL.md or .pi-go/skills/*/SKILL.md in the cloned repo
  4. For each found skill directory
  5. Clean up temp directory
  6. Report what was pulled

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 24d1f2b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Skill Pull loads about 360 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 175 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~360

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Pull skills from a remote GitHub repository into the local skills directory. Use when the user wants to install shared skills.

Skill Pull

Download and install skills from a remote source into .pi-go/skills/.

Usage

/skill-pull <source> [skill-name]

Where source can be:

  • GitHub shorthand: user/repo
  • GitHub URL: https://github.com/user/repo
  • Raw URL to a SKILL.md file

If skill-name is provided, only pull that specific skill.

Steps

  1. Parse the source argument
  2. For GitHub repos, use git clone --depth 1 into a temp directory
  3. Find skill directories: look for skills/*/SKILL.md or .pi-go/skills/*/SKILL.md in the cloned repo
  4. For each found skill directory:
    • Copy the entire skill directory (SKILL.md + any bundled files) to .pi-go/skills/<name>/
    • If skill-name filter was given, only copy matching skills
    • If a skill with the same name exists locally, warn and skip unless the user confirms
  5. Clean up temp directory
  6. Report what was pulled

Examples

  • /skill-pull user/repo — Pull all skills from a GitHub repo
  • /skill-pull user/repo my-skill — Pull only the my-skill skill
  • /skill-pull anthropics/skills — Pull from the official Anthropic skills repo

Guidelines

  • Always clean up temp directories after cloning
  • Never overwrite existing skills without user confirmation
  • Report clearly what was installed and from where
