What it does

Install From Remote Library is an agent skill from MoizIbnYousaf/ai-agent-skills. Use when installing skills from a shared ai-agent-skills library repo. Inspect with --list first, prefer --collection, and preview with --dry-run before installing.

Its SKILL.md is about 530 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Universal skill installer and package manager for AI coding agents. One command, 12+ runtimes. npx ai-agent-skills. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Installing skills from a shared ai-agent-skills library repo

Example prompts

  • “/install-from-remote-library”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Inspect the source library.
  2. Choose the smallest fitting target.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6d95c78. 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:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Install From Remote Library loads about 531 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 234 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~531

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.

Install From Remote Library

Goal

Install from a shared library repo without guessing, over-installing, or skipping the preview step.

Invariants

  • Always inspect the remote library first with install <source> --list.
  • Prefer --collection when the library clearly exposes a starter pack or focused bundle.
  • Always run --dry-run before the real install.
  • Keep the install small. Do not pull a whole library when the user only needs a narrow slice.

Workflow

  1. Inspect the source library.
bash
npx ai-agent-skills install <owner>/<repo> --list
  1. Choose the smallest fitting target.
  • Prefer --collection starter-pack or another named collection when it matches the user's need.
  • Use --skill <name> only when the user needs one specific skill or the library has no useful collection.
  • Do not combine --collection and --skill.
  1. Preview the install plan before mutating anything.
bash
npx ai-agent-skills install <owner>/<repo> --collection starter-pack --dry-run -p

or

bash
npx ai-agent-skills install <owner>/<repo> --skill <skill-name> --dry-run -p
  1. If the plan looks right, run the real install with the same scope.
bash
npx ai-agent-skills install <owner>/<repo> --collection starter-pack -p

Decision Rules

  • If the library has a curated collection that already matches the user's stack, use it.
  • If the remote library is empty or the list output is unclear, stop and report that instead of guessing.
  • If the install path throws an ERROR / HINT, surface that verbatim and follow the hint before retrying.
  • If the user is exploring a large library, keep them in browse mode first rather than installing immediately.

Done

Return:

  • what source library you inspected
  • which collection or skill you chose
  • the dry-run result
  • the exact final install command you used
