How to Submit a Skill
1) Make a Repo
Create the skill in a repo under your own Github user account. You can follow the guide at How To Make a Repo, or use the skiller.sh script.
2) Clone Repo
Clone the mycroft-skills repo to a local directory, How To Clone if you are unfamiliar with the process.
git clone https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-skills.git
3) Generate the README.md
All skills must have a standard README.md. You can use the Meta Editor to create it.
4) Add your Skill as a submodule
Add the your skill to this repo as a submodule. You can type the following in the terminal of within your clone of the mycroft-skills repo.
git submodule add $remote $name-of-your-skill
Where $remote is the git address for your repo (for example "https://github.com/MycroftAI/skill-configuration") and
$name-your-skill is the name used to install it via MSM or "Hey Mycroft, install ...". The recommended format for skill names is "publisher-descriptive-name", where 'publisher' is a unique name for you or your organization. For example, "penrod-nautical-speed-translator".
When picking a name keep in mind that the installer will match by whole words between the dashes. So if a user says "install speed translator" it will look for all skills in the repo with the words 'speed' AND 'translator'. That means it will find "penrod-nautical-speed-translator" but would not find "abc-nautical-speeds-translator". Make sure the pieces of the name are 'speakable' to allow verbal installs. That means "fubar-v2timer" would be a bad name since you can't speak "v2timer" as a word. A better name would be "fubar-timer-v2" or "fubar-timer-version-2".
The above command should have modified the .gitmodules file and added something similar to the bottom of the file:
+[submodule "NAME-OF-YOUR-SKILL"]
+ path = YOUR-SKILL-REPO (or any unique path withing the mycroft-skills repo)
+ url = https://github.com/USERNAME/YOUR-SKILL-REPO.git
For more help, feel free to check out this guide to working with submodules
5) Modify this README.md
Modify the table section below to include the direct link to your repo. Including the break HTML tag and an example phrase or two that trigger your skill:
| :heavy_check_mark: | [home-assistant](https://github.com/btotharye/mycroft-homeassistant#readme)| Control your devices in home-assistant<br>```turn on office``` |
