If you want to submit a skill, simply make a repo for it organized
as the template above. How To Make a Repo
Clone the mycroft-skills repo to a local directory, How To Clone if you are unfamiliar with the process.
To get the skill added, generate the Readme file using the Meta Editor You will fill out all the relative fields and it will give you the Markdown to put into your README.md file.
Next we need to add the submodule for your skill. For more help, feel free to check out this guide
Or, type the following in the terminal of your clone of the Skills-repo.
git submodule add $remote $name-your-skill
Where $remote is the git address for your repo (example https://github.com/mycroftai/skill-configuration) and $name-your-skill is what you want to name it. In general, we normally use BLANK-skill as a format for skill names.
This should have edited the .gitmodule file and added something similar to the bottom of the file:
+[submodule "NAME OF YOUR SKILL"]
+ path = name-of-your-skill-skill
+ url = URL.FOR.YOUR.SKILL.git
Modify the table section to include the direct link to your repo like the following example including the break tag and the phrase to 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```
Ensure to put a proper status as well from the list below:
Status meaning:
✔️ good working order
🚧 still being developed and not ready for general use (for reference/collaboration)
❓ untested (by us)
💀 Broken, but good for ideas!
Once you've got your repo organized properly, submit the PR consisting of the following:
- Ensure you use Meta Editor to create your standardized README.md file
- The URL of your repo
- A short name for the skill
- A one sentence description of what it does
- The development status of the skill (under construction or working)
To make your skill capable of being installed via MSM (the Mycroft Skill Manager) you need two additional files.
- requirements.txt
- requirements.sh requirements.txt is a list of all pip libraries your skill needs (if any). requirements.sh is a shell script that executes and installs package dependancies your skill needs (if any). So, if you need a specific pip library installed, like gensim, you can have it automatically installed in the correct vm using msm. This requirements.txt file would look like this:
gensim
That's it!
Status meaning:
✔️ good working order
🚧 still being developed and not ready for general use (for reference/collaboration)
❓ untested (by us)
💀 Broken, but good for ideas!
