Support gh skill install (add .claude-plugin/SKILL.md structure) #1

Request

Would it be possible to add support for gh skill install so this skill can be installed directly via the GitHub CLI skill management system?

Currently, running:

gh skill install ndpvt-web/latex-document-skill latex-document-skill --scope user --agent claude-code

fails with no skills found in ndpvt-web/latex-document-skill.

What's needed

The gh skill CLI expects skills to be discoverable in a specific directory structure. Typically one of:

  • skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md (multi-skill repo)
  • <skill-name>/SKILL.md (single-skill repo)
  • SKILL.md at the repo root

The SKILL.md file should have YAML frontmatter:

---
name: latex-document-skill
description: Generate publication-ready LaTeX PDFs from handwritten notes, scans, or raw data (27 templates, OCR support)
---

Context

I maintain a skill collection (sanoakr/ai-skills) that aggregates useful skills for Claude Code, Codex, and GitHub Copilot. This skill would be a great addition, but currently cannot be installed via the standard gh skill install workflow.

Thank you for this excellent skill!
