WebSkills

Inputs Required

A public http:// or https:// URL.
Optional custom skill name slug.
Optional custom output directory.

Default Workflow

Generate and install in one command:

npx webskills-cli add <site-url>

Confirm success output includes:

generated skill directory path
pipeline stage used
content hash

Verify installed skill is available to the target agent.

Safe Preview Workflow

Use this when the user wants to inspect output before installing:

npx webskills-cli extract --url <site-url> --output .webskills/generated

Then inspect generated files:

SKILL.md

Manual Install Workflow

If generation was run without install, install the produced directory explicitly:

npx skills add <generated-skill-directory>

Useful Options

Set custom output directory:

npx webskills-cli add <site-url> --output <dir>

Set custom skill slug:

npx webskills-cli add <site-url> --name <skill-name>

Increase fetch timeout:

npx webskills-cli add <site-url> --timeout-ms 30000

Agent Behavior Rules

Only process the user-provided page as the primary source.
Do not invent undocumented capabilities.
Keep discovered links as references only; do not treat them as crawled content unless explicitly requested.
Prefer deterministic reruns rather than editing generated output by hand.

Troubleshooting

If HTTPS certificate validation fails in restricted environments, retry with another reachable public URL.
If installation is not desired, use extract instead of add.
If npx webskills-cli is unavailable, run cargo run -- add <site-url> from a source checkout or install the published npm package first.
