SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When you need a capability your agent does not currently have, this Skill discovers and installs existing agent skills from the open skills ecosystem instead of building functionality from scratch. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Skill Discovery: Searches the skills ecosystem with npx skills find [query] and checks the skills.sh leaderboard ranked by install counts. - Quality Verification: Evaluates candidate skills by install count, source reputation, and GitHub stars before recommending them. - Guided Installation: Installs verified skills with npx skills add <owner/repo@skill> -g -y after user confirmation. - Use Case: You ask "how do I make my React app faster?" and the Skill searches for React performance skills, verifies a popular option like vercel-labs/agent-skills, and installs it for you. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to find a skill for your task, for example: find a skill that helps with PR reviews.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find an agent skill for a specific task?▼

Run npx skills find followed by keywords describing your task, such as npx skills find react performance. You can also browse the skills.sh leaderboard to see the most-installed skills by category before searching.

How do I install an agent skill from GitHub?▼

Install a skill with npx skills add owner/repo@skill-name. Adding the -g flag installs it globally at user level, and -y skips confirmation prompts for unattended installation.

How can I tell if an agent skill is trustworthy?▼

Check the install count first, preferring skills with over 1K installs and treating anything under 100 with caution. Also verify the source reputation, favoring official publishers like vercel-labs or anthropics, and check the GitHub repository stars.

What should I do when no skill exists for my task?▼

If the search returns no relevant skills, the agent can handle the task directly with its general capabilities. For recurring needs, you can create your own skill by running npx skills init with a name for your new skill.

Can I search skills from a specific GitHub owner?▼

Yes, the find command supports an --owner flag to scope results to a specific GitHub owner, for example npx skills find testing --owner vercel-labs. This helps narrow results to trusted publishers.
