Additional agents. ↑/↓ moves, Space toggles selections, Enter confirms. - Without a tool picker, check

Symlink (Recommended)for shared files orCopy to all agentsfor separate copies; review the summary before confirming installation. Install the find-skills skill?defaults toYes, adding another skill for all projects. ChooseNoif you don't want that extra installation.
Skills CLI 1.7.2 sends install data to skills.sh by default, including the source, skill names, target tools and file details; GitHub sources are reported only when GitHub confirms the repository is public, while other remote sources can also be reported. Confirmed-public GitHub sources also trigger a security-audit request. Before installing, set the environment variable DO_NOT_TRACK=1 or DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1 to disable both.
npx skills add vercel-labs/bash-tool --skill "csv" --full-depthAfter installing for Claude Code, open it in the installation project if you chose Project; Global makes the skill available across projects on this computer. Once Claude Code loads the skill, its description helps Claude decide when to use it.
If installation created a top-level skills folder that did not exist when your Claude Code session started, run /reload-skills in that session. Run it again after later changes in that folder.
