Copy Skill

Copy a skill from Product Forge plugins to your user-level (~/.claude/) or project-level (.claude/) directory.

Usage

# List available skills
/copy-skill

# Copy to project (default)
/copy-skill product-design:python-style

# Copy to user level
/copy-skill product-design:python-style --user

# Explicit project level
/copy-skill git-workflow:commit-patterns --project

Arguments

• <plugin>:<skill-name> - The skill to copy in plugin:name format
• --user - Copy to ~/.claude/{plugin}/skills/{name}/
• --project - Copy to .claude/{plugin}/skills/{name}/ (default)

What Gets Copied

Skills are copied as entire directories, including:

• SKILL.md - The main skill definition
• Any additional files (scripts/, references/, *.yaml, etc.)

Example: parallel-agents skill contains both SKILL.md and agent-skills-mapping.yaml.

Directory Structure

# Project-level (default)
.claude/
└── product-design/
    └── skills/
        └── python-style/
            └── SKILL.md

# User-level (--user)
~/.claude/
└── product-design/
    └── skills/
        └── python-style/
            └── SKILL.md

Execution Instructions

When the user runs this command:

No Arguments - List Available Skills

1. Scan Product Forge plugins cache for all available skills:

   ls ~/.claude/plugins/cache/product-forge-marketplace/*/skills/ 2>/dev/null

2. For each plugin with skills, list them with descriptions:

   • Read SKILL.md frontmatter to get name and description
   • Format as: {plugin}:{skill-name} - {description}

3. Display formatted list:

   Available skills from Product Forge:
   
   product-design:
     python-style - Python coding style and PEP standards
     prd-management - Automatic PRD lifecycle management
     parallel-agents - Multi-agent orchestration patterns
     ...
   
   git-workflow:
     commit-patterns - Git commit best practices
     ...
   
   Usage: /copy-skill <plugin>:<skill-name> [--user | --project]

With Arguments - Copy Skill

1. Parse arguments:

   • Extract plugin and skill-name from <plugin>:<skill-name> format
   • Determine destination: --user or --project (default)

2. Locate source skill:

   SOURCE=~/.claude/plugins/cache/product-forge-marketplace/{plugin}/skills/{skill-name}

   • If not found, show error with available skills from that plugin

3. Determine destination path:

   • --project: .claude/{plugin}/skills/{skill-name}/
   • --user: ~/.claude/{plugin}/skills/{skill-name}/

4. Check if destination exists:

   • If exists, use AskUserQuestion to prompt:

     Skill '{skill-name}' already exists at {destination}.
     
     Options:
     - Overwrite: Replace existing skill
     - Rename: Save as {skill-name}-copy
     - Cancel: Abort operation

5. Create destination directory structure:

   mkdir -p {destination}

6. Copy entire skill directory recursively:

   cp -r {source}/* {destination}/

7. Confirm success:

   Skill copied successfully!
   
   Source: ~/.claude/plugins/cache/product-forge-marketplace/{plugin}/skills/{skill-name}/
   Destination: {destination}
   
   Files copied:
   - SKILL.md
   - [any additional files]
   
   The skill is now available in your {project|user} configuration.
