Skill install command not work

[swatDong]

From the doc site (https://microsoft.github.io/skills/#skill=microsoft-foundry) there's install command like npx skills add microsoft/skills --skill microsoft-foundry, but that not work on running.

Probably because some skills are under plugin, thus cannot be detected from repo root.

Qianhao Dong (@swatDong) Copying my response in the linked PR. skills.sh doesn't discover skills through referenced plugins. There are two alternative methods for a user to install microsoft-foundry skill

• Use the marketplace/plugin feature to install the azure plugin. Since microsoft-foundry is a part of azure plugin, installing azure plugin will install microsoft-foundry skill.
• Use skills.sh but in the cmd options set the repo to microsoft/azure-skills. That repo has the plugin files.

I don't know who owns the documentation website https://microsoft.github.io/skills/. It needs to be updated.

I met this issue on testing microsoft-foundry skill, but actually it occurs on ALL plugin skills, azure-sdk-*, azure-skills, deep-wiki, ...
So for users who starts from https://microsoft.github.io/skills/ or this repo's README, the npx skills add command fails on all those skills.
Fix the documentation website can be an alternative, but seems need to change the docsite orchestrator.

Qianhao Dong (@swatDong) Have you reached out to the docsite owner to update the documentation?

@swatDong Have you reached out to the docsite owner to update the documentation?

I see the docsite is part of this repo as well (https://github.com/microsoft/skills/tree/main/docs-site). And the docsite seems designed to be by skills, not by plugins.

The doc site should set the repo that actually contains the skill in the skills.sh install command, instead of hardcoding microsoft/skills in this line. Would you like to create a PR for that?

skills/docs-site/src/components/SkillCard.tsx

Line 65 in 4f1db7e

const installCommand = `npx skills add microsoft/skills --skill ${skill.name}`;

Created #396 for docsite fix.
