gh skill install supports multiple agent hosts

Introduced 2026-04-22 · score 0.91

HOW TO USE IT

When setting up a repository’s coding-agent workflow, run `gh skill install --help` to see supported hosts, then run `gh skill install <owner>/<repo> <skill>` and select the needed host or hosts when prompted.

WHY THIS HELPS

Install a skill for an agent host while setting up a repository's coding-agent workflow.

REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS

• Version: v2.91.0
• <owner>/<repo> (required): GitHub repository containing the skill; required when running non-interactively.
• <skill>: Skill name or repository path; interactive mode prompts when omitted.
• --agent <id>: Select a target agent host. Without it, interactive mode prompts for one or more hosts.
• --scope <project|user>: Choose project or user installation scope; defaults to project.
• Prerequisite: Use GitHub CLI v2.91.0 or later for the release-note change.
• Docs conflict: The current manual describes a newer version and its host list; use `gh skill install --help` on the installed version for its available values.
