Description
Copy skills from supported agent directories on the host into the persistent store shared by sandboxes.
Sources are scanned in this order (alphabetical; first wins on conflict): ~/.agents/skills ~/.claude/skills ~/.copilot/skills ~/.cursor/skills ~/.factory/skills
If two sources contain a skill with the same name, the later source is skipped with a warning — the first source's version is kept.
Each imported skill folder replaces any store folder of the same name (the existing folder is backed up first, then the new copy is installed) so stale files from a previous version cannot linger. You will be prompted before any existing skill is overwritten; 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.
The store lives under the sandbox state directory and is cleared by 'sbx reset'. Supported by Claude, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, and Droid agents.
