2. Clone the repo and symlink or copy the skill into your agent workspace.
3. Add the repo as a git submodule if you manage shared skills centrally.
4. Install it through your internal provisioning or packaging workflow.
5. Download the folder directly from GitHub and place it in your skills collection.

Install command or upstream instructions:

```
Add anthropics/claude-code-security-review to a GitHub Actions workflow that runs on trusted pull_request events, then configure the Claude API secret and any optional scan or filtering inputs.
```
