Message id is undefined: ${JSON.stringify(message)}

Error message

Message id is undefined: ${JSON.stringify(message)}

What it means

github_raw_url parses the URL pasted into the skill-import field and rejects any scheme other than https before any network call is made. The importer only fetches encrypted GitHub traffic, so http://, git://, ftp:// and friends are refused. This is an input-validation error shown in the import UI, not a network failure.

Solutions

1. Change the URL prefix to https://
2. Copy the link again from the GitHub file page address bar, which always yields https

Example fix

# before
http://github.com/acme/skills/blob/main/SKILL.md

# after
https://github.com/acme/skills/blob/main/SKILL.md

// Before submitting the import form (same crate exposes this helper):
if !is_supported_skill_url(&input) {
    show_inline_hint("Use an https:// GitHub .md URL");
    return;
}
// Or the minimal scheme check:
if !input.trim().starts_with("https://") {
    show_inline_hint("GitHub skill URLs must use https://");
}

fn is_https_url(input: &str) -> bool {
    url::Url::parse(input.trim()).map(|u| u.scheme() == "https").unwrap_or(false)
}

When it happens

Trigger: Pasting a URL whose scheme is explicitly not https: http://github.com/owner/repo/blob/main/SKILL.md, git://github.com/..., or ssh://git@github.com/...

Common situations: A clipboard manager or browser downgraded the copied URL to http; the user typed the URL by hand and wrote http; the link came from an internal mirror that serves plain http.
