What it does

Migrate Skills Between Libraries is an agent skill from MoizIbnYousaf/ai-agent-skills. Use when moving skills between library workspaces or upgrading from a personal library to a team library. Export from one workspace, import into another.

Its SKILL.md is about 670 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering. 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

  • Moving skills between library workspaces
  • Upgrading from a personal library to a team library

Example prompts

  • “/migrate-skills-between-libraries”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. List all skills in the source workspace.
  2. For house copies, note the skill folder paths. For upstream picks, note the installSource.

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

Migrate Skills Between Libraries loads about 668 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 225 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~668

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.

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.
bash
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:
bash
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:
bash
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.
bash
npx ai-agent-skills build-docs
  1. Validate the target workspace.
bash
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.
