Per the general rules, documentation should specify supported package managers like npm or pnpm. Additionally, please verify the package name; Genkit packages are typically scoped under @genkit-ai. Using the scoped name @genkit-ai/skills ensures the correct CLI is installed and avoids potential conflicts with unrelated packages named skills.

npx @genkit-ai/skills add genkit-ai/skills
# or
pnpm dlx @genkit-ai/skills add genkit-ai/skills
References
  1. In documentation, specify supported package managers like npm or pnpm for installation instructions, rather than using generic phrases like 'your favorite package manager'.
