| Description | Import skills from supported agent directories |
|---|---|
| Usage | sbx skills import [flags] |
Experimental
This command is experimental.
Experimental features are intended for testing and feedback as their functionality or design may change between releases without warning or can be removed entirely in a future release.
Description
Import skills already installed for supported coding agents on this machine.
The following directories are checked in order: ~/.agents/skills ~/.claude/skills ~/.config/opencode/skills ~/.copilot/skills ~/.cursor/skills ~/.factory/skills
When the same skill appears in more than one directory, the first copy is used and the others are skipped with a warning.
Importing a skill that is already installed replaces it completely, including removing files that are no longer present. You will be prompted before a skill is replaced; use --force to skip all prompts.
Symlinks at the top level are followed if they point to a directory. Symlinks within skill folders and loose files at the top level are skipped.
Imported skills are available to Claude, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Droid, and OpenCode.
