# Install Skills

> Install skills from multiple sources with a single command

CowAgent supports installing skills from [Cow Skill Hub](https://skills.cowagent.ai/), GitHub, ClawHub, LinkAI, and any URL via a unified `install` command. Use `/skill install` in chat or `cow skill install` in the terminal.

You can also add skills from the Capabilities page in the web console and desktop app. Click **Add skill**, then either:

* **From a market**: pick Cow Skill Hub or ClawHub and enter the skill name, or pick GitHub and enter a repository or folder URL.
* **Upload**: drop in a `.zip` / `.tar.gz` archive, a `SKILL.md`, or a whole skill folder.

The skill is fetched first and shown for review (its `SKILL.md`, file list, and whether it would replace an installed skill). Nothing is installed until you confirm.

## From the Skill Hub

Browse all available skills at [skills.cowagent.ai](https://skills.cowagent.ai/) and install by name:

```text theme={null}
/skill list --remote
/skill install pptx
```

## From GitHub

Any GitHub-hosted skill can be installed directly. Supports both repository-level batch install and subdirectory-level single install:

```text theme={null}
/skill install larksuite/cli
/skill install https://github.com/larksuite/cli/tree/main/skills/lark-im
```

## From ClawHub

All [ClawHub](https://clawhub.ai/) skills (40k+) can be installed with a single command:

```text theme={null}
/skill install clawhub:<name>
```

ClawHub skill names are only unique per publisher. When several publishers share a name, include the publisher or use the skill's page URL:

```text theme={null}
/skill install clawhub:steipete/gog
/skill install https://clawhub.ai/steipete/skills/gog
```

## From LinkAI

All public resources on [LinkAI](https://link-ai.tech/console) (10k+ apps / workflows / plugins), as well as your own resources (apps, workflows, knowledge bases, databases, plugins), can be installed via:

```text theme={null}
/skill install linkai:<code>
```

> Every resource created on the LinkAI platform has a unique `code`. Find it on each resource's page in the [console](https://link-ai.tech/console).

## From URL

Supports zip archives and SKILL.md file links:

```text theme={null}
/skill install https://cdn.link-ai.tech/skills/pptx.zip
/skill install https://example.com/path/to/SKILL.md
```

## Manage Skills

```text theme={null}
/skill list                  # View installed skills
/skill info pptx             # View skill details
/skill enable pptx           # Enable a skill
/skill disable pptx          # Disable a skill
/skill uninstall pptx        # Uninstall a skill
```

<Tip>
  All commands above work in the terminal by replacing `/skill` with `cow skill`. See [Skill Management Commands](/cli/skill) for full documentation.
