SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Users often don't know whether an installable skill already exists for a task they want help with, leading them to reinvent workflows manually instead of reusing community-built capabilities. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Skill Discovery: Searches the open agent skills ecosystem via npx skills find and the skills.sh leaderboard to match user needs with existing skills. - Quality Verification: Evaluates install counts, source reputation, and GitHub stars before recommending any skill. - Guided Installation: Presents options with install commands and can install skills globally using npx skills add. - Use Case: A user asks "how do I make my React app faster?" — the skill searches for React performance skills, verifies a reputable option like vercel-labs/agent-skills, and installs it on request. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to find a skill for a task you need help with, such as "find a skill for PR reviews".

Frequently Asked Questions about find-skills

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I find a 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 the install count, preferring skills with 1K+ installs, and verify the source reputation. Skills from official sources like vercel-labs, anthropics, or microsoft are more trustworthy, and repositories with under 100 GitHub stars should be treated with skepticism.

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

If no relevant skill is found, the agent can help with the task directly using its general capabilities. For recurring tasks, you can create your own skill by running npx skills init with a name for your new skill.

How do I keep installed skills up to date?

Run npx skills check to see whether updates are available for your installed skills. Then run npx skills update to update all installed skills to their latest versions.
