Create the skill in a repo under your own Github user account. You can follow the guide at How To Make a Repo, or use the skiller.sh script.
Clone the mycroft-skills repo to a local directory, How To Clone if you are unfamiliar with the process.
git clone https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-skills.git
All skills must have a standard README.md. You can use the Meta Editor to create it.
Add the your skill to this repo as a submodule. You can type the following in the terminal of within your clone of the mycroft-skills repo.
git submodule add $remote $name-of-your-skill
Where $remote
is the git address for your repo (for example "https://github.com/MycroftAI/skill-configuration") and
$name-your-skill
is the name used to install it via MSM or "Hey Mycroft, install ...". The recommended format for skill names is "publisher-descriptive-name", where 'publisher' is a unique name for you or your organization. For example, "penrod-nautical-speed-translator".
When picking a name keep in mind that the installer will match by whole words between the dashes. So if a user says "install speed translator" it will look for all skills in the repo with the words 'speed' AND 'translator'. That means it will find "penrod-nautical-speed-translator" but would not find "abc-nautical-speeds-translator". Make sure the pieces of the name are 'speakable' to allow verbal installs. That means "fubar-v2timer" would be a bad name since you can't speak "v2timer" as a word. A better name would be "fubar-timer-v2" or "fubar-timer-version-2".
The above command should have modified the .gitmodules file and added something similar to the bottom of the file:
+[submodule "NAME-OF-YOUR-SKILL"]
+ path = YOUR-SKILL-REPO (or any unique path withing the mycroft-skills repo)
+ url = https://github.com/USERNAME/YOUR-SKILL-REPO.git
