if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'skill-authoring' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'skill-authoring' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named skill-authoring already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/redhat-developer/rhdh-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '88d0e202131b1bc3a17a316d419055cd4dc52b86' -- 'skills/meta/skill-authoring' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/meta/skill-authoring' ~/.agents/skills/'skill-authoring' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
