btw_skill_install_github: Install a skill from GitHub

Description

Download and install a skill from a GitHub repository. The repository should contain one or more skill directories, each with a SKILL.md file.

Usage

btw_skill_install_github(
  repo,
  skill = NULL,
  scope = "project",
  overwrite = NULL
)

Value

The path to the installed skill directory, invisibly.

Arguments

repo

GitHub repository in "owner/repo" format. Optionally include a Git reference (branch, tag, or SHA) as "owner/repo@ref", following the convention used by pak::pak() and remotes::install_github(). Defaults to "HEAD" when no ref is specified.

skill

Optional skill name. If NULL and the repository contains multiple skills, an interactive picker is shown (or an error in non-interactive sessions).

scope

Where to install the skill. One of:

  • "project" (default): Installs to a project-level skills directory, chosen from .btw/skills/ or .agents/skills/ in that order. If one already exists, it is used; otherwise .btw/skills/ is created.

  • "user": Installs to the user-level skills directory (tools::R_user_dir("btw", "config")/skills).

  • A directory path: Installs to a custom directory, e.g. scope = ".openhands/skills". Use I("project") or I("user") if you need a literal directory with those names.

overwrite

Whether to overwrite an existing skill with the same name. If NULL (default), prompts interactively when a conflict exists; in non-interactive sessions defaults to FALSE, which errors. Set to TRUE to always overwrite, or FALSE to always error on conflict.
