Describe the bug
gh skills install <owner/repo> command does not correctly traverse trough codebase looking for skills even with flag --allow-hidden-dirs
it seems not wanting to look deeper than 2 folders
Affected version
Please run gh version and paste the output below.
gh version 2.92.0 (2026-04-28)
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- create a repo add a /skills folder nested inside a different folder add a skill-name folder in that add the SKILL.md
- it will look like this --> /foo/bar/skills//SKILL.md
- run gh skills install <owner/repo> --allow-hidden-dirs
- View the output 'no skills found'
Expected vs actual behavior
the gh skills cli should be looking in the repo for SKILL.md in /skills directories even if they are nested
yet it fails to achieve that
Logs
