Import Skills
Import Skill packages, Skill files, and supported public sources while keeping validation, provenance, and review state explicit.
- Audience
- Users moving local or public Skills into a governed workspace.

Import turns an existing Skill into a validated Fygment package. Start with one selected package or public source and review the validation result before broader migration.
Supported import sources
Fygment supports ZIP/package upload, standalone Skill files, public GitHub/GitLab repositories, public npm packages, and public ZIP URLs through the external-source import stack.
External-source preview/import and AI-assisted normalization are Advanced / Teams actions. Solo workspaces keep local package upload, creation, install, and check basics.
Imports read from public sources. For a private repository or a credentialed package registry, upload the package or Skill file instead.
Import flow
- 1
Preview the source
For repository sources, Fygment detects candidate Skill packages and shows validation status, file counts, risks, and checksums before import.
- 2
Select one candidate
When more than one candidate exists, choose the package path explicitly. Fygment does not guess which folder to publish.
- 3
Import into review or current state
Owner/admin imports can become current when policy allows. Member imports and normalized drafts remain pending review.
Privacy
Import diagnostics are redacted
Diagnostics and support reports must omit raw package bodies, raw Skill files, prompts, tokens, credentials, local paths, stdout, stderr, and full stack traces.

- Create a Skill
The creation flow gives you a valid starting package so you can focus on useful instructions instead of hand-building manifest state.
- Review and approve Skills
Governance is the difference between a shared Skill library and a loose pile of files. Review decisions decide what can be installed and trusted.
- Install Skills in Codex
Codex is a writable install target. Use the guided CLI path so Fygment can preview config changes and track install state.
