Press `Ctrl+,` (or `Cmd+,` on Mac) and search for \"Agent Skills\":\n\n### Skill Repositories\n\n**Setting**: `agentSkills.skillRepositories`\n\nBy default, the extension fetches skills from:\n- `anthropics/skills` - Official Anthropic skills\n- `pytorch/pytorch` - PyTorch agent skills\n- `openai/skills` - OpenAI curated skills\n- `formulahendry/agent-skill-code-runner` - Code runner skill\n\nAdd custom repositories by modifying this setting:\n\n```json\n\"agentSkills.skillRepositories\": [\n  {\n    \"owner\": \"your-username\",\n    \"repo\": \"your-skills-repo\",\n    \"path\": \"skills\",\n    \"branch\": \"main\"\n  }\n]\n```\n\n### Install Location\n\n**Setting**: `agentSkills.installLocation`\n\nChoose where to install skills in your workspace:\n- `.github/skills` (default)\n- `.claude/skills`\n\n### GitHub Token\n\n**Setting**: `agentSkills.githubToken`\n\nFor higher GitHub API rate limits (especially when fetching from many repositories), provide a personal access token:\n\n1. Go to [GitHub Settings → Developer Settings → Personal Access Tokens](https://github.com/settings/tokens)\n2. Create a new token with `public_repo` scope\n3. Copy the token\n4. Add it to VS Code settings:\n\n```json\n\"agentSkills.githubToken\": \"your_token_here\"\n```\n\n### Cache Timeout\n\n**Setting**: `agentSkills.cacheTimeout`\n\nSet how long (in seconds) to cache skill metadata (default: 3600 seconds / 1 hour)\n\n## Skill Directory Structure\n\nSkills follow the [Agent Skills specification](https://agentskills.io). A typical skill structure:\n\n```\nmy-skill/\n├── SKILL.md          # Skill metadata and documentation\n├── index.js          # Main skill implementation\n├── package.json      # Dependencies (if Node.js based)\n└── README.md         # Additional documentation\n```\n\n### SKILL.md Format\n\nEach skill includes a `SKILL.md` file with YAML frontmatter:\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: My Awesome Skill\ndescription: A brief description of what this skill does\nlicense: MIT\ncompatibility: Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Opus\n---\n\n## Usage\n\nInstructions on how to use this skill...\n\n## Examples\n\nExample code and use cases...\n```\n\n## Commands\n\nThe extension provides these commands (accessible via Command Palette `Ctrl+Shift+P`):\n\n- **Agent Skills: Search Skills** - Open search dialog\n- **Agent Skills: Clear Search** - Clear search and show all skills\n- **Agent Skills: Refresh** - Refresh the marketplace data\n- **Agent Skills: Install Skill** - Install selected skill\n- **Agent Skills: Uninstall Skill** - Uninstall selected skill\n- **Agent Skills: View Skill Details** - Open skill detail panel\n- **Agent Skills: Open Skill Folder** - Open installed skill folder in explorer\n\n## Performance\n\nThe extension is optimized for performance:\n\n- **Minimal API Calls**: Uses Git Trees API (1 call per repository) + `raw.githubusercontent.com` (no rate limits)\n- **Smart Caching**: In-memory cache with configurable timeout\n- **Lazy Loading**: Skills are loaded on demand with progress indicators\n- **Parallel Fetching**: Multiple repositories are fetched simultaneously\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n### Skills not loading\n\n1. Check your internet connection\n2. Verify GitHub repositories are accessible\n3. If using a private repository, ensure you've provided a valid GitHub token\n4. Try clicking the **Refresh** button to reload\n\n### High API usage\n\n1. Install `markdown-it` for better markdown rendering (optional)\n2. Consider increasing the cache timeout in settings\n3. Provide a GitHub personal access token for higher rate limits\n\n### Skills not appearing in Marketplace\n\n1. Verify the repository path is correct in settings\n2. Check that the skills directory exists in the specified branch\n3. Ensure SKILL.md files are properly formatted\n4. Click **Refresh** to reload the marketplace\n\n## Keyboard Shortcuts\n\n| Shortcut | Action |\n|----------|--------|\n| `Ctrl+Shift+X` | Open Extensions panel |\n| `Ctrl+,` | Open VS Code Settings |\n| `Ctrl+Shift+P` | Open Command Palette |\n\n## For Skill Developers\n\nTo create skills compatible with this extension:\n\n1. **Follow the SKILL.md specification** with proper YAML frontmatter\n2. **Store skills in a public GitHub repository**\n3. **Organize skills** in a directory structure with one skill per folder\n4. **Document thoroughly** with clear README and usage examples\n5. **Include metadata** (license, compatibility, description)\n\nUsers can then discover and install your skills through this marketplace!\n\n## Learning More\n\n- [Agent Skills Specification](https://agentskills.io)\n- [VS Code Extension Documentation](https://code.visualstudio.com/api)\n- [GitHub API Documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/rest)\n\n## Issues \u0026 Feedback\n\nFound a bug or have a feature request?
