Installing AI Skills

Use npx skills to install skills directly into your project:

# Install all EventCatalog skills
npx skills add event-catalog/skills

# Install a specific skill
npx skills add event-catalog/skills --skill catalog-documentation-creator

This copies the skill files into your project's .claude/skills/ directory where your AI agent can access them.

Clone and copy​

Clone the repository and copy the skills you need:

git clone https://github.com/event-catalog/skills.git
cp -r skills/skills/catalog-documentation-creator .claude/skills/

Git submodule​

Add as a submodule for easy updates:

git submodule add https://github.com/event-catalog/skills.git .claude/skills/eventcatalog

When new skills are released, pull updates with:

git submodule update --remote

Fork and customize​

Fork the repository and tailor skills to your team's conventions:

  1. Fork event-catalog/skills on GitHub
  2. Modify skills to match your naming conventions, ownership patterns, and schema formats
  3. Install from your fork:
npx add-skill https://github.com/YOUR_ORG/eventcatalog-skills

This is useful when your team has specific conventions for IDs, owners, or folder structures that differ from the defaults.
