SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When you need a capability your agent does not currently have, this Skill discovers, evaluates, and installs existing skills from the open agent skills ecosystem instead of building functionality from scratch. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Skill Discovery: Searches the 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: Installs verified skills with npx skills add and suggests creating custom skills when no match exists. - Use Case: You ask "how do I make my React app faster?" and the Skill searches for React performance skills, verifies a top result from a trusted source, and installs it for you. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to find a skill for the task you want to accomplish, such as finding a skill for PR reviews or changelog generation.

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

Run npx skills find followed by a keyword 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.

How do I install an agent skill from GitHub?▼
