skillshub external

Section titled “skillshub external”

The external command discovers and manages skills that were installed through other means — for example, from the Claude marketplace or by manually placing files in an agent’s skills directory.

When you run skillshub link, external skills are automatically discovered from all agent directories and synced to all other agents. If the same skill name exists in multiple agents, the first one found is used as the source.
