Import a skill from GitHub or a file

You can bring in a skill someone else wrote, from a GitHub link or a file you upload. It works right away, like a skill you wrote yourself. Salesfinity skills use the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and a description at the top, followed by the steps. A skill written for another AI assistant in this format can come straight in, and yours can go out the same way.

Import from GitHub

Copy the link to the SKILL.md file

Open the file on github.com and copy the address. It must point at the file itself, like https://github.com/owner/repo/blob/main/path/SKILL.md. Links to a folder, a whole repository, a gist or another site don’t work.

Paste it into Ari

Open the Ari panel, switch to Skills, and choose New skill › Import from GitHub. Paste the link.

Check the result

The skill shows up with an Imported badge. Open it to read the steps and adjust the name or description.

The repository must be public. Salesfinity reads the file for you and never asks for your GitHub login.

Import from a file

In Skills, choose New skill › Upload .md or .zip, then upload one of these:

A .md file that is the SKILL.md.
A .zip of a skill folder. Salesfinity takes only the SKILL.md from it.

What comes in, and what doesn’t

Only the SKILL.md file. Some skill folders also carry extra files, like scripts or reference documents. Those are left out. If the skill depends on one of them, copy what matters into the steps after you import. The file must start with both a name and a description. If either is missing, the import stops and tells you why.

Limits

Item	Limit	Over the limit
Steps	50,000 characters	The import stops. Ari never cuts steps short, because that would drop instructions.
Name	200 characters	Shortened. Edit it afterwards.
Description	500 characters	Shortened. The import still works.
Upload	5 MB per file. The `SKILL.md` itself, or the one inside a `.zip`, up to 200 KB.	The upload is rejected.

You can import about 10 skills every 10 minutes. If you go faster, Salesfinity asks you to wait.

Read a skill before you rely on it

An imported skill gives Ari instructions, just like one you wrote. Treat a skill from someone you don’t know like any file from the internet: read it first.

Every imported skill shows its full text in Skills, so nothing is hidden.
Salesfinity records where each imported skill came from.
Whatever a skill says, Ari still asks before it changes anything. See Approve what Ari changes.

There’s no export button, but a skill is already in the right format. Copy the name, description and steps into a SKILL.md file:

SKILL.md

---
name: Pre-call brief
description: One-screen brief on a person and their company before a call.
---

## Goal
...

Put it in a public GitHub repository. Any teammate, or any other team, can import it from the link.
