Installing New Skills

Search…

Skills are like apps for a voice assistant. They give Mycroft access to new information and new abilities.

The Skills Marketplace is a curated list of Voice Skills that have been tested and approved by the Mycroft Community.
Voice Installation
The simplest way to install a new Skill is to ask Mycroft to do it for you by saying:
Hey Mycroft, install {skill name}
This will search the Skills Marketplace and install them on your device.
Removing a Skill
To remove the Skill, you can say:
Hey Mycroft, uninstall {skill name}
Command Line
If you prefer to use the command line, you can directly use the Mycroft Skills Manager.
To install a Skill run:
mycroft-msm install skill-name
To remove a Skill run:
mycroft-msm remove skill-name
For more detail on command line usage see:
Mycroft Skills Manager
