Fast clone / update (repo has lots of files)

This project has two very different clone profiles:

  • claude-skill-registry-core: pipeline + docs + indexes, relatively light
  • claude-skill-registry-data: archived skill tree, very heavy

A normal git clone / git pull can feel slow because Git needs to update and scan a very large working tree.

If you only need the registry + tooling (scripts/docs) and not the full skill archive, use partial clone + sparse checkout.

New clone (recommended)

git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/majiayu000/claude-skill-registry-core.git
cd claude-skill-registry-core
git sparse-checkout set --cone docs scripts sources schema

If you only need counts, prefer registry_summary.json instead of opening the full registry.json.

Data repo clone (recommended)

If you need archived skills locally, do not full-clone the data repo first. Start shallow + blobless + sparse:

git clone --filter=blob:none --depth 1 --sparse https://github.com/majiayu000/claude-skill-registry-data.git
cd claude-skill-registry-data
git sparse-checkout init --cone
git sparse-checkout set development documents

Need more categories later?

git sparse-checkout add data design testing

Existing clone: switch to sparse checkout

git sparse-checkout init --cone
git sparse-checkout set --cone docs scripts sources schema

Get the full checkout (slow)

If you truly need everything:

git sparse-checkout disable

For the data repo, this is the expensive step. Avoid it unless you really need the entire archive on disk.

Optional: Git performance tuning

These settings can help on large repos:

git config feature.manyFiles true
git config core.untrackedCache true
git maintenance start

Don’t clone at all (fastest)

If you just want the data, prefer direct JSON fetches:

  • Summary counts: registry_summary.json (GitHub raw)
  • Full registry: registry.json (GitHub raw, much larger)
  • Lightweight search: docs/search-index.json (or .gz)
