.SH NAME
glab-skills-install - Install glab's bundled agent skills. (EXPERIMENTAL)


.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBglab skills install [name] [flags]\fP


.SH DESCRIPTION
Install bundled \fBSKILL.md\fR files to \fB\&.agents/skills/\fR, 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.

.PP
By default, only the core \fBglab\fR skill is installed. Pass a positional
\fBname\fR argument to install a specific bundled skill instead. Run
\fBglab skills list\fR to see what is available.

.PP
Install scope:
.IP \(bu 2
By default, skills are installed for the current project, in \fB\&.agents/skills/\fR
at the root of the current Git repository.
.IP \(bu 2
Use \fB--global\fR to install skills for the current user, in
\fB~/.agents/skills/\fR\&.
.IP \(bu 2
Use \fB--path\fR to install skills to a custom directory. The path is resolved
relative to the current working directory, not the repository root.

.PP
To overwrite an existing skill file, use \fB--force\fR\&.

This feature is an experiment and is not ready for production use.
It might be unstable or removed at any time.
