Description

Summary

Support installing skills from official .well-known URI

Problem statement

The Agent Skills group is planning to standardize a .well-known URI for skills: https://github.com/agentskills/agentskills/pull/254

So far, Cloudflare is using it internally, Vercel added support in npx skills add (as of v1.4.6), and VS Code has indicated intent to ship.

Would ZeroClaw be open to supporting it as well?

Proposed solution

Support zeroclaw skills install https://example.com to install skills from https://example.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json

Research direction
Investigate the existing skills installation flow in the ZeroClaw codebase, likely in the CLI module. Look at how Vercel's skills add command handles the .well known URI for reference. The proposed implementation should fetch https://example.com/.well known/agent skills/index.json and parse it to install skills. Check any existing URI handling patterns in the repo.
