Supercharge Your Workspace in Seconds: How to Install Skills, Agents, and Rules from GitHub in Rouser App

Tired of downloading files one by one? You can now import a GitHub repository into your workspace instantly. In Rouser App, pasting a single link unlocks new capabilities, making workspace integration and automation seamless.

This guide will show you how to import tools, what safety limits apply, and how to enable cross-project sharing for your assets.

Import Your First Skill: Step-by-Step Guide to Installing GitHub Assets

When you want to add a new capability from a GitHub repository, you don't need to manually download the whole repository.

Bulk Installation (Folder Expansion)

If you link to a main entry file (e.g., SKILL.md, AGENT.md, or .cursorrules), Rouser automatically triggers a bulk installation of the entire parent folder.

  1. Find the skill or rule you want on GitHub.
  2. Open the entry file.
  3. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar.
  4. Type install <provider> <paste-url> in the Rouser App command line interface (CLI).

Rouser handles all the dependencies behind the scenes. Your new skill is fully configured and ready to use instantly. You get the complete, working automation without any extra effort.

TIP

If a folder contains more than 10 files, the installation picker will show a file count warning so you know exactly what is being installed.

Single Item Installation

If you only want a specific file without its supporting assets, simply link to any non-entry file (like a standard README.md or a standalone document).

  1. Copy the URL of the specific file on GitHub.
  2. Run the same install <provider> <paste-url> command.

Rouser will detect that it's a standalone file and download only that single item.

Examples by Provider

These single and bulk installation capabilities are fully supported across all AI providers integrated with Rouser.

Here are examples of how the commands look for each provider:

Provider: Claude (Skill)
Single Install
> install claude https://github.com/.../optimizer/SKILL.md
Bulk Install
> install claude https://github.com/.../list_skill_folder/
Provider: Claude (Agent)
Single Install
> install claude agent https://github.com/.../feature/AGENT.md
Bulk Install
> install claude agent https://github.com/.../list_agent_folder/
Provider: Claude (Rule)
Single Install
> install claude command https://github.com/.../project/.cursorrules
Bulk Install
> install claude rule https://github.com/.../list_rules_folder/
Provider: Claude (Command)
Single Install
> install claude rule https://github.com/.../task/COMMAND.md
Bulk Install
> install claude command https://github.com/.../list_command_folder/

IMPORTANT

If an installation fails completely because all files in the folder are blocked, or the folder is too large (max 5 MB or 100 files), the app will show an explicit error message instead of silently failing.

Reuse Your Favorite Tools Across All Workspaces

Once you have installed a skill or agent in one project, you can easily enable cross-project sharing without re-downloading it from GitHub.

How to Move or Copy Items

  1. Open the Launcher Bar.
  2. Search for the item (skill, agent, command, or rule) you want to move.
  3. Press Cmd + K (default shortcut) to open the action picker.
  4. Select the option to move or copy the item (you can select single or multiple items) to your target project.

That's it! Your items are safely transferred and ready to use in your new project.
