find-skills

To search for existing skills, run the skills find <query> command in the sandbox. This enforces searching the skills ecosystem first to prevent duplicates and promote reuse before attempting any installation or creation.

The best way to install a skill into the session workspace is using the CLI with appropriate flags: HOME=<workspace_dir> skills add <owner/repo@skill> -g -y --agent '*'. This ensures proper installation into the active session environment.

Skill installation creates duplicates when no prior search is performed in the skills ecosystem. Always search first using the skills find command to verify whether a desired skill already exists before requesting installation or creation.

Yes, you can test a skill in the sandbox before permanent retention. After successful testing, the system guides calling propose_skill_save to offer permanent retention, avoiding manual tracking of candidate skills.

Yes, you need the pre-installed skills CLI to find and add skills. The skill specifies using the pre-installed CLI directly for all search, find, and add operations within the sandbox environment to ensure proper workflow.

A limitation of automating skill discovery is that it requires using the pre-installed skills CLI directly in the sandbox. Installation must target the session workspace with specific flags, and successful testing must occur before permanent retention.
