Installation invokes external package tooling and copies executable/instruction content. Inspect the source before adding it. Removing a skill does not undo external changes that the skill previously instructed an agent to make.

Local skills can be authored directly under ~/.jinn/skills/<name>/SKILL.md; they appear as local when not represented in skills.json. The watcher keeps engine-native links synchronized.
