glab skills install

Install glab’s bundled agent skills. (EXPERIMENTAL)

Synopsis

Install the bundled SKILL.md file to .agents/skills/, the cross-agent standard defined by the Agent Skills specification. This works with GitLab Duo Agent Platform, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and any other compliant agent.

Install scope:

• By default, skills are installed for the current project, in .agents/skills/ at the root of the current Git repository.
• Use --global to install skills for the current user, in ~/.agents/skills/.
• Use --path to install skills to a custom directory. The path is resolved relative to the current working directory, not the repository root.

To overwrite existing skill files, use --force.

This feature is an experiment and is not ready for production use. It might be unstable or removed at any time. For more information, see https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/development_stages_support/.
