Pull skills

Page as Markdown
Pull a published skill from agentregistry and extract its contents to your local machine.
Before you begin

  1. Install agentregistry on Kubernetes.
  2. Create and publish a skill to the registry catalog.
Pull a skill from the registry

Use the arctl pull skill command to download a skill from the registry and extract its contents locally.
The pull command reads the skill’s spec.source.repository setting from the registry and clones it locally by using a shallow clone (--depth 1). If a subfolder is set in the skill definition, only the files from that subdirectory are copied to the output directory.
Note
The pull command uses the source reference that you set in the spec.source.repository block, not the commit that was automatically pinned by the registry controller in the status.resolvedSource.commit field when you published the skill. If you published the skill without a specific commit ID, such as by only defining a branch and subfolder, the pull command fetches the current tip of that branch. To get a reproducible pull, publish the skill with a commit SHA instead of a branch.
Tip
By default the skill is pulled into the directory that you are currently in. To define a different directory, add the directory path to your command, such as arctl pull skill myskill ./my-output-dir. For other command options, see the CLI reference.
arctl pull skill myskill
Example output:
Cloning https://github.com/my-org/myrepo (branch main) into /my/current/path
(subfolder hint: agentregistry/myskill)
