Import skills from GitHub or .zip file

🎯 What is it?

You can now import skills directly into Dust from a GitHub repository or by uploading a .zip file from your computer. This new capability gives you more flexibility in how you manage and deploy your skills across your workspace.

💡 Why is it useful?

If you're managing multiple skills or working with a team that maintains skills in a version control system, you previously had to manually copy and paste code into Dust. This new import feature allows you to centralize your skills in GitHub (or any other repository) and keep them in sync with your CI/CD pipeline, ensuring your Dust agents always use the latest versions.

⚙ How does it work?

Simply provide a GitHub repository URL or upload a .zip file containing your skill files. Dust will import the skill structure and make it available in your workspace.

✨ Concrete Use Cases

Here's how you could use it:

Development teams maintaining shared skills: Your engineering team maintains a repository of company-specific skills (e.g., data formatting, internal API integrations). When you update the skill in GitHub, you can quickly re-import it to Dust to keep all agents synchronized.

Distributing skills across workspaces: You've built a powerful skill for market research and want to deploy it across multiple Dust workspaces (different departments or clients). Export it once as a .zip and import it wherever needed.

📈 Benefits for you

• Version control: Keep your skills in Git alongside your other code, with full history and collaboration features

• Automation: Integrate skill updates into your existing CI/CD workflows

• Portability: Easily share and duplicate skills across workspaces without manual copying

• Consistency: Ensure all team members are using the same version of your custom skills

🚀 How to access it?

This feature is available to everyone. When creating or updating a skill, look for the new import options that allow you to specify a GitHub repository URL or upload a .zip file.
