SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When you need a capability your agent does not currently have, this Skill finds 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 registry with npx skills find [query] and checks the skills.sh leaderboard for popular, well-maintained options. - Quality Verification: Evaluates install counts, source reputation, and GitHub stars before recommending any skill. - Guided Installation: Installs verified skills with npx skills add <owner/repo@skill> -g -y and presents links to learn more. - Use Case: You ask "how do I make my React app faster?" and the Skill searches for React performance skills, verifies a top result 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?

Use npx skills add with the owner/repo@skill identifier, for example npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills@react-best-practices. Add the -g flag for global user-level installation and -y to skip confirmation prompts.

How do I know if a skill is trustworthy before installing?

Check three signals: prefer skills with 1K or more installs, favor official sources like vercel-labs, anthropics, or microsoft, and verify the source GitHub repository has a reasonable star count. Be cautious with anything under 100 installs.

What should I do if 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 tasks, you can create your own skill by running npx skills init followed by your skill name.

Can I search skills from a specific GitHub owner?

Yes, use the --owner flag with the find command, such as npx skills find testing --owner vercel-labs. This scopes results to skills published by that specific GitHub user or organization.
