SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When you ask an AI agent how to do something, there may already be a packaged skill that handles that task. This Skill removes the guesswork of discovering, evaluating, and installing those skills by guiding the agent through a structured search and verification workflow. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Skill Discovery: Searches the open agent skills ecosystem via npx skills find and the skills.sh leaderboard to surface relevant skills by domain or task. - Quality Verification: Evaluates install counts, source reputation, and GitHub stars before recommending any skill, avoiding low-quality packages. - Guided Installation: Presents options with install commands and can install skills directly using npx skills add <owner/repo@skill> -g -y. - Use Case: You ask "how do I make my React app faster?" The agent checks the leaderboard, runs npx skills find react performance, verifies a top result from vercel-labs, and offers to install it for you. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to find a skill for a task you need help with, such as "find a skill for PR reviews" or "is there a skill for writing changelogs?"

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 domain before searching.

How do I install an agent skill from GitHub?

Use npx skills add with the owner/repo@skill format, 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+ installs, favor official sources like vercel-labs, anthropics, or microsoft, and verify the source repository's GitHub stars. Treat skills from repos with under 100 stars with skepticism.

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 needs, you can create your own skill using npx skills init followed by a skill name.

Can I search skills from a specific GitHub owner?

Yes, use the --owner flag with npx skills find to scope results to a specific GitHub owner, for example npx skills find testing --owner vercel-labs. This narrows results to trusted publishers.
