Add search command with local and marketplace search (#109) 🔎

aiskills search                              # interactive mode to search
aiskills search <search-query>               # interactive mode with search-query provided.
aiskills search <search-query> --marketplace # search from marketplace
aiskills search <search-query> --local       # search from all agents, local skills (both global and project)

aiskills search <search-query> --local --marketplace # error, it should be either --local or --marketplace
aiskills search --local       # error, <search-query> should be provided for --local
aiskills search --marketplace # error, <search-query> should be provided for --marketplace

e.g.)

All multiple-choice prompts should be mandatory (#106)

e.g.)
multiple-choice before this release:

$ aiskills install anthropics/skills
? Select target agent(s) ›
Tab to toggle, Shift+Tab to toggle all, Enter to submit.
 ◯ Universal
 ◯ Claude
 ◯ Cursor
 ◯ Codex
 ◯ Gemini
 ◯ Windsurf
 ◯ Copilot

Hit enter, then it immediately terminates the operation and shows

✔ Select target agent(s)
nothing selected
No agents selected. Installation cancelled.

Users often hit enter by mistake, so the multiple-choice prompts should be mandatory.

After this release:

$ aiskills install anthropics/skills
? Select target agent(s) ›
Tab to toggle, Shift+Tab to toggle all, Enter to submit.
Please select at least one, or press Ctrl+C to cancel.
 ◯ Universal
 ◯ Claude
 ◯ Cursor
 ◯ Codex
 ◯ Gemini
 ◯ Windsurf
 ◯ Copilot

Now, you get Please select at least one, or press Ctrl+C to cancel. message instead of ending the operation.

Improve search and list: actions for searched skills can be repeated and list has more metadata (#112)

For search enhancement:

For marketplace:

In search, after skill selection is done, it should ask if a user wants to read, install, list or finish.

  • read: will read all selected skills then it should ask if the user wants to read, install, list or finish.
  • list: will list all selected skills then it should ask if the user wants to read, install, list or finish.
  • install: will install all selected skills then it finishes.
  • finish: will finish.
For local:
  • read: will read all selected skills then it should ask if the user wants to read, install, list or finish.
  • list: will list all selected skills then it should ask if the user wants to read, install, list or finish.
  • finish: will finish.

list with more metadata:

  1. Because some skills may have folder names that differ from the names in SKILL.md, it's good to include the name field from SKILL.md in the list.
  2. It should have the base directory just like the read command.
  3. It should have the source info including sourceType, source and subpath.

The current version before this release is like

  document-generation-pdf   (project, Gemini): .gemini/skills
    Generate, fill, and assemble PDF documents at scale. Handles legal forms, contracts, invoices, certificates. Supports form filling (pdf-lib), template rendering (Puppeteer, LaTeX), digital

  pdf                       (project, Gemini): .gemini/skills
    Use this skill whenever the user wants to do anything with PDF files. This includes reading or extracting text/tables from PDFs, combining or merging multiple PDFs into one, splitting PDFs apart, rotating pages, adding watermarks, creating new PDFs, filling PDF forms, encrypting/decrypting PDFs, extracting images, and OCR on scanned PDFs to make them searchable. If the user mentions a .pdf file or asks to produce one, use this skill.

So, after this release, with the new info mentioned above, it looks like the following.

  document-generation-pdf   (project, Gemini): .gemini/skills
  Base directory: ~/git/username/path/to/project/.gemini/skills/document-generation-pdf

The remove command should ask for final confirmation before removing the selected skills (#116)

  • Interactive mode: The current version removes the selected skills immediately, so it would be better to ask users for confirmation before removing them in case they press Enter by mistake.
  • Non-interactive mode: The skills could be removed by mistake, so it would be good to have a confirmation step, with a flag to bypass it, such as --yes or -y.

After this release:

✔ Select skills to remove
 ◉ ai-pdf-filler-cli         (project, Gemini): .gemini/skills

The following skill(s) will be removed:
  - ai-pdf-filler-cli (project, Gemini): .gemini/skills

Move the temporary directory to a safer, ephemeral location that is cleared on reboot (#122)

Before this release, current temporary directory is located at $HOME with a nmae like

.aiskills-temp-TIMESTAMP

This should be moved to the system’s temporary directory, which is cleaned up on reboot. Although ai-skills removes it after cloning and when the operation is complete, keeping it in an ephemeral location is still safer.

After this release, it uses the $TMPDIR environment variable to get the system's temporary directory, falling back to /tmp if it is not set.

Bug Fixed

Fixed: When pwd is $HOME, interactive mode should not ask to choose a location as it's always global for $HOME (#111)

Before this release version:

$ aiskills install kevin-lee/ai-dumping-ground
✔ Select target agent(s)
 ◉ Claude
? Select install location ›
  ‣ global  (~/.claude)
    project (.claude)
    both

? Select install location › is unnecessary because there's no project scope in $HOME.

After this release:

$ aiskills install kevin-lee/ai-dumping-ground
✔ Select target agent(s)
 ◉ Claude
   ✔ Repository cloned
Installing from: kevin-lee/ai-dumping-ground
Location: global (~/.claude/skills)

 ◉ riper-5                   (skills/riper-5)                   5.2KB

It no longer asks to select install location (no more ? Select install location ›).

Fixed: Skills in some GitHub repositories are not recognized (#113)

Before this release version:

SKILL.md not found for 'ai-pdf-filler-cli' in askyourpdf/ai-pdf-filler

The reason might be that SKILL.md is located in the root directory, not inside the skills directory.

SKILL.md not found for 'Pdf' in danielmiessler/Personal_AI_Infrastructure

The reason might be that SKILL.md is located at Packs/Utilities/src/Documents/Pdf/SKILL.md, not inside the skills directory.

Now, they are recognized.
