DDEV Skills

Overview

This add-on integrates Skills into your DDEV project. It allows you to manage and install skills.sh via a simple configuration file. It reads the skills you want to install from a .env.skills file and uses npx to install them inside your DDEV web container. This add-on is ideal for developers who want to easily manage and update their skills directly within their project's environment without requiring Node.js on their host machine.

Prerequisites

• DDEV: You need a running DDEV environment.
• Node.js: Node.js and npm must be available in your DDEV web container (usually included by default).

Installation

ddev add-on get OpenForgeProject/ddev-skills
ddev restart

Configuration

1. Create the configuration file: Navigate to your project's .ddev directory and create a file named .env.skills. You can also copy the sample file provided:

   cp .ddev/.env.skills.sample .ddev/.env.skills

2. Add your skills: Edit .ddev/.env.skills and add the skills you want to install. The format is SkillName="GitRepoURL".

   Example .ddev/.env.skills:

   # Format: Skill-Name="url"
   MySkill="https://github.com/username/my-skill-repo"
   AnotherSkill="https://github.com/username/another-skill"

3. Version Control: Make sure to commit the .ddev/.env.skills file to version control so your team has the same skills configuration.
