Install GuildSkills on Windows

Why the SmartScreen prompt?

The installer isn't code-signed with a Windows Authenticode certificate yet, so Microsoft Defender SmartScreen flags it as "unrecognized" and asks you to confirm before running. That's the only extra step — the install itself is a normal Windows installer. It's built by Adam Lankamer (the Acreator Store network — the same maker as PerfectStudio and Ucaption, both already on the Microsoft Store).

The 3 steps

• 1 · Download the installer. Use the Download for Windows button above (a quick download, hosted on guildskills.com). Save it to Downloads or anywhere handy.
• 2 · Click through SmartScreen (if it appears). Double-click the downloaded file. If you see a blue "Windows protected your PC" / "Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting" box: click More info, then click Run anyway.
• 3 · Run the install wizard. Click Next through the licence and install-location screens (the defaults are fine), then Install (~10 seconds), then Finish.

Open it

Launch GuildSkills from the Start menu (or the desktop shortcut). Sign in with the email tied to your GuildSkills Pro subscription to unlock one-click install into your agent. (GuildSkills Pro is separate from ClaudSkills.) Browsing and searching the catalog are free — Pro gates the one-click install.

Prefer the manual route?

You don't need the app at all — every skill page has its SKILL.md and the target directory for each agent. See the cross-agent install guide to copy a skill in by hand.
