What it does

Add New Skills To Workflow is an agent skill from nicepkg/ai-workflow. Add new skills to an existing workflow and update all related documentation. Use when user wants to add skills from GitHub URLs to a workflow (e.g., "add this skill to the workflow", "为工作流添加技能"). Triggers on adding skills to workflows, updating workflow documentation after skill additions.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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 Business, Finance & HR, covering Operations and SOPs. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: 🚀 170+ pre-built skills for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex & 14+ AI tools. Stop re-teaching your AI the same things. One command → instant domain expertise. Marketing, SEO, Trading… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User wants to add skills from GitHub URLs to a workflow (e.g.
  • Add this skill to the workflow
  • Adding skills to workflows
  • Updating workflow documentation after skill additions

Example prompts

  • “add this skill to the workflow”
  • “为工作流添加技能”
  • “/add-new-skills-to-workflow”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Download Skills
  2. Read Downloaded Skill
  3. Update skill-source.json
  4. Update Documentation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d167b41. 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:

    • python

    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

Add New Skills To Workflow loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 273 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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.

Workflow

Step 1: Download Skills

Use skill-downloader to download skills from GitHub:

bash
python .claude/skills/skill-downloader/scripts/download_from_github.py <repo-url> <skill-path> --output <workflow-path>/.claude/skills/

Parse GitHub URL:

  • https://github.com/user/repo/blob/main/path/to/skill → repo: https://github.com/user/repo, skill-path: path/to/skill
  • https://github.com/user/repo/tree/main/.claude/skills/my-skill → repo: https://github.com/user/repo, skill-path: .claude/skills/my-skill

Example:

bash
# For URL: https://github.com/XIYO/zheon/blob/main/.claude/skills/slidev
python .claude/skills/skill-downloader/scripts/download_from_github.py https://github.com/XIYO/zheon .claude/skills/slidev --output ./workflows/talk-to-slidev-workflow/.claude/skills/

# Use --force to overwrite existing
python .claude/skills/skill-downloader/scripts/download_from_github.py <repo> <path> --output <target> --force
Step 2: Read Downloaded Skill

Read the downloaded SKILL.md to understand:

  • Skill name and description
  • What category it belongs to
  • How it fits into the workflow pipeline
Step 3: Update skill-source.json

Add the new skill entry to workflows/<name>/.claude/skill-source.json:

json
{
  "skill-name": {
    "source": "https://github.com/user/repo",
    "path": "path/to/skill"
  }
}
Step 4: Update Documentation

Update these files (all that exist for the workflow):

FileUpdates Required
workflows/<name>/.claude/skill-source.jsonAdd new skill source entry
workflows/<name>/README.mdSkill count, skill table, pipeline
workflows/<name>/README_cn.mdSame as above (Chinese)
workflows/<name>/AGENTS.mdAvailable skills list, recommended sequences

README.md (root)Skill count in workflow table
README_cn.md (root)Same as above (Chinese)
Documentation Update Checklist
  1. Skill Count: Update total count (e.g., "18 skills" → "20 skills")

    • Quick install comment
    • Section header
    • Description text
  2. Skill Table: Add new skill row in appropriate category

    markdown
    | `skill-name` | Brief description of what it does |
  3. Pipeline: Add skill to relevant stage if applicable

    Stage X: Category
    ├── existing-skill → Description
    └── new-skill → Description
  4. AGENTS.md: Add to available skills and update recommended sequences

  5. Root README: Update skill count in workflow overview table

Example: Adding Skills to talk-to-slidev-workflow

Given: Add slidev and slidev-presentations skills

Step 1: Download

bash
python .claude/skills/skill-downloader/scripts/download_from_github.py https://github.com/XIYO/zheon .claude/skills/slidev --output ./workflows/talk-to-slidev-workflow/.claude/skills/
python .claude/skills/skill-downloader/scripts/download_from_github.py https://github.com/clearfunction/cf-devtools skills/slidev-presentations --output ./workflows/talk-to-slidev-workflow/.claude/skills/

Step 2: Read downloaded skills to understand their purpose

Step 3: Update skill-source.json with new skill entries

Step 4: Update all 8 files:

  • Update skill-source.json with source info
  • Update skill count
  • Add new category with skill table
  • Update pipeline to reference new skills
  • Update AGENTS.md skill lists and sequences
