Message params.options is undefined: ${JSON.stringify(messag

Error message

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

What it means

For github.com URLs the importer destructures the path as [owner, repo, kind, reference, file_path..]. If the URL has fewer than four path segments after the host, the slice pattern fails and the URL is rejected as not pointing at a blob file. This is the shape check for blob URLs.

Solutions

1. Navigate to the .md file on github.com and copy the full blob URL of the form https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/blob/<ref>/<path>/SKILL.md
2. Make sure all five parts are present: owner, repo, 'blob', branch/tag/commit, and the file path

Example fix

let segments: Vec<&str> = url.path_segments().map(Iterator::collect).unwrap_or_default();
ensure!(segments.len() >= 5, "Paste a GitHub blob URL that points to a .md file"); // owner, repo, blob, ref, path...

fn has_blob_shape(url: &url::Url) -> bool {
    url.path_segments()
        .map(|s| s.count() >= 5)
        .unwrap_or(false)
}

When it happens

Trigger: A github.com URL with too few path segments: github.com/owner, github.com/owner/repo, github.com/owner/repo/blob, github.com/owner/repo/blob/main — there is no file path after the reference.

Common situations: The user pasted the repo or directory page instead of the file page; the URL got truncated when copying; the user edited the URL by hand and dropped segments.
