GitHub is launching `gh skill`, a new GitHub CLI command (available in v2.90.0+) for discovering, installing, managing, and publishing agent skills. Agent skills are portable sets of instructions and scripts that teach AI coding agents how to perform specific tasks, following the open Agent Skills specification. The command supports multiple AI agent hosts including GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Gemini CLI. Key features include version pinning to tags or commit SHAs, content-addressed change detection via git tree SHAs, portable provenance metadata stored in SKILL.md frontmatter, and supply chain integrity checks when publishing. The feature is launching in public preview, and GitHub warns users to inspect skill content before installation due to potential security risks.
