## Summary
Adds a way to get personal skills back out of Coder Agents as files, so
sharing a skill no longer means pasting `SKILL.md` by hand.
- **Per-skill Download**: a `Download` action on each row of the
*Personal
skills* settings page saves that skill's `SKILL.md` as `<name>.md`.
- **Export all**: a header button zips every personal skill (each as
`<name>/SKILL.md`) and downloads `personal-skills.zip`.
Scope is **personal skills only** (workspace/filesystem skills are
read-only
in chat and out of scope). No backend changes: the single-skill content
endpoint (`GET /api/experimental/users/{user}/skills/{skillName}`)
already
returns full content, so the view fetches on demand and downloads with
`file-saver`, zipping with `jszip` (both existing deps, matching
`DownloadLogsDialog`).
## Changes
- `AgentSettingsPersonalSkillsPageView.tsx`: `Download` per-row button
(with
per-row spinner) and an `Export all` header button (disabled when empty
or
loading).
- `AgentSettingsPersonalSkillsPage.tsx`: container handlers that fetch
content via `queryClient.fetchQuery(userSkill(name))` and trigger the
download/zip, with `toast` error handling. Download logic is extracted
to
module-level helpers to stay React Compiler friendly.
- `AgentSettingsPersonalSkillsPageView.stories.tsx`: interaction stories
asserting `onDownload`/`onExportAll` fire, plus loading-state stories.
## Testing
- `pnpm check` (biome), `pnpm lint:types` (tsc), React Compiler check,
and
Storybook interaction tests (22 passed) all pass locally.
- `make pre-commit` passed.

<summary>Implementation plan</summary>
### Problem
Users can create, edit, and delete personal skills in Agent settings,
but
there is no way to get a skill back out as a file. The only workaround
was to
paste the `SKILL.md` content by hand.
### Decisions (confirmed with requester)
1. Surface: download in the settings UI (Personal skills page).
2. Build both single-skill download and export-all (zip).
3. Personal skills only (workspace/filesystem skills out of scope).
### Approach (frontend-only, additive)
No backend changes: the single-skill content endpoint already exists.
The
view stays presentational and exposes new callbacks; the container
fetches
content and performs the download, mirroring how Edit/Delete already
split
between view and container.
- Per-row Download button, placed before Edit in the actions cell; shows
a
spinner while its own row is downloading.
- Export all button in the section header, disabled when there are no
skills
or while loading.
- Container: single download fetches content and `saveAs(<name>.md)`;
export
all fetches every skill, adds each as `<name>/SKILL.md` to a `JSZip`,
generates a blob, and `saveAs(personal-skills.zip)`. Failures surface
via
`toast.error`.
- Stories cover the interactions and loading states (stories are the FE
test
surface).
### Out of scope
- Workspace skills download (filesystem source): different data path,
read-only in chat, not user-owned data.
- In-chat download button on the `read_skill` tool output: possible
follow-up, different surface and interaction model.

_Opened by Coder Agents on behalf of @Shelnutt2._
Coder is a self-hosted platform for cloud development environments and AI coding agents. Workspaces are defined with Terraform, connected through a secure Wireguard® tunnel, and automatically shut down when not used. Coder Agents runs a native AI coding agent whose loop executes in the control plane on your infrastructure, with no API keys in workspaces.
- Define cloud development environments in Terraform
- EC2 VMs, Kubernetes Pods, Docker Containers, etc.
- Automatically shutdown idle resources to save on costs
- Onboard developers in seconds instead of days
- Delegate coding work to AI agents on your infrastructure
- Bring any model (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Bedrock, self-hosted)
- No LLM credentials in workspaces, user identity on every action
- Centralized model governance, cost tracking, and audit logging
Quickstart
The most convenient way to try Coder is to install it on your local machine and experiment with provisioning cloud development environments using Docker (works on Linux, macOS, and Windows).
# First, install Coder
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh
# Start the Coder server (caches data in ~/.cache/coder)
coder server
# Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to create your initial user,
# create a Docker template and provision a workspace
Install
The easiest way to install Coder is to use the
install script for Linux
and macOS. For Windows, use the latest ..._installer.exe file from GitHub
Releases.
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh
You can run the install script with --dry-run to see the commands that will be used to install without executing them. Run the install script with --help for additional flags.
See install for additional methods.
Once installed, you can start a production deployment with a single command:
# Automatically sets up an external access URL on *.try.coder.app
coder server
# Requires a PostgreSQL instance (version 13 or higher) and external access URL
coder server --postgres-url <url> --access-url <url>
Use coder --help to get a list of flags and environment variables. See the install guides for a complete tutorial.
