Install a skill into Windsurf
Windsurf reads skills from a local skills folder. Add a skill folder and it is picked up for the agent.
Step 1
Find the skills folder
Windsurf uses a skills folder (often .windsurf/skills/) for the project. Create it if needed.
Step 2
Add the skill folder
Copy the whole skill folder (SKILL.md + any references/scripts/assets) into the skills folder.
Step 3
Reload the workspace
Reload Windsurf so it re-scans the skills folder and the new skill becomes available.
