SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? When you need functionality that might already exist as an agent skill, guessing or installing the first external match risks duplicating skills you already have or pulling in stale, unmaintained packages. This Skill enforces a corpus-first discovery workflow so you find the right skill without creating duplicates or keyword collisions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Corpus-First Search: Checks installed and repository-local skills through a three-tier lookup (routing table, generated description index, then grep) before touching external sources. - External Marketplace Fallback: Searches and installs from the npx skills ecosystem only when the local corpus has nothing, with correct -a claude-code install flags. - Candidate Evaluation: Applies an anti-patterns checklist and decision tree to vet any skill before recommending it, catching stale repos, trigger-keyword collisions, and duplicate-domain drift. - Use Case: You ask "is there a skill for deploying to Azure?" The Skill searches the local corpus first, finds an existing match, and loads it directly instead of installing a redundant external package. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to find a skill that handles your task, for example: find a skill for reviewing pull requests and install it if nothing local matches.

Frequently Asked Questions about find-skills

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

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

Search the local skill corpus first using the routing table, then the generated skill index, then grep as a last resort. Only if nothing matches locally, run npx skills find with your query and install with npx skills add using the -a claude-code flag.

How do I search for skills with the npx skills CLI?

Run npx skills find followed by your query to search the marketplace, then npx skills add owner/repo@skill -a claude-code -y to install. After installing, run /reload-skills to pick it up in the current session.

Why should I check installed skills before installing external ones?

Installing an external skill that duplicates an existing one causes trigger-keyword collisions, where two skills race for auto-activation with no tiebreak logic. A corpus-first search prevents duplicate-domain drift and conflicting behavior.

How do I evaluate whether a skill is safe to recommend?

Check the source repo's actual commit history and open issues rather than trusting README claims of active maintenance. Also verify the skill's trigger language does not collide with an existing skill's description, and prefer candidates matching your existing tooling.

What happens if no skill exists for my task?

The Skill says so plainly and offers to help with the task directly. It only suggests creating a new skill if the need is recurring, and new in-house skills belong in the repository's skills directory rather than a personal fork.
