This meta-skill manages a private catalog of skills, agents, and prompts that you can add to your workflow on demand. It tracks references in a YAML file and fetches only what you need, when you need it. Designed for users who maintain their own agent ecosystems without relying on public registries.
Follow the documented setup, then try a first task.
Installs: Install The Library meta-skill globally. Catalog entries remain references; other skills, agents, and prompts are fetched separately on demand. · Claude Code
In a terminal, verify that git is installed.
git --version
Fork disler/the-library to your GitHub account through the GitHub UI. A private fork is recommended; this fork becomes your personal library catalog.
For a fresh installation, run this complete block in a terminal. Replace <LIBRARY_SKILL_DIR> with ~/.claude/skills/library/ and <fork_url> with your fork's clone URL. The block changes into the installation directory before cloning.
mkdir -p <LIBRARY_SKILL_DIR> cd <LIBRARY_SKILL_DIR> git clone <fork_url> .
Open SKILL.md in the installed library directory and update its Variables section. Set LIBRARY_REPO_URL to your fork URL, confirm LIBRARY_YAML_PATH is ~/.claude/skills/library/library.yaml, and confirm LIBRARY_SKILL_DIR is ~/.claude/skills/library/.
Confirm that SKILL.md and library.yaml exist in the installation directory and that /library is available in Claude Code.
Uses library
Use the library skill to run /library list and show my catalog entries with their installation status. If the catalog is empty, report that.
