Deploy Skills

Copy skills from this project's skills/ folder into the global skill locations so they are available in all sessions.

Target Locations

Workflow

1. Identify skills to deploy

List the project's skills:

bash
1ls skills/

Each subdirectory is a skill to deploy.

2. Diff each skill against both targets

For each skill directory, check whether it differs from the installed versions:

bash
1diff -r skills/<name> ~/.claude/skills/<name>
2diff -r skills/<name> ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/<name>

3. Copy changed skills

For any skill that differs (or doesn't exist at the target), copy it:

bash
1cp -r skills/<name> ~/.claude/skills/
2cp -r skills/<name> ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/

4. Report results

Tell the user which skills were updated and which were already up to date.

Rules

• Only copy from skills/ → global locations. Never copy in the reverse direction.
• Never touch skills in the global locations that don't exist in this project's skills/ folder. Other projects own those.
• Do not create skills at the target if the source skill directory is empty or malformed (missing SKILL.md).
• Copying is non-destructive: cp -r overwrites but does not delete unrelated skills at the target.
