SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

When the agent's active skill catalog lacks a capability the user needs, this Skill finds a matching third-party skill on public registries, vets it for quality and safety, and installs it into the user's skills directory.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-registry search: Queries ClawHub and Skillhub CLIs in order, falling back to GitHub code search for SKILL.md files when no registry CLI is installed.
  • Quality gate: Verifies permissive licenses, valid SKILL.md frontmatter, install counts or stars, and scans bundled scripts for red flags like piped shell downloads or credential harvesting before recommending.
  • Consent-gated install: Presents top candidates with source, license, and popularity, then installs into ~/.hope-agent/skills/ only after explicit user confirmation.
  • Use Case: A user asks for a Notion integration that no active skill covers; the agent searches registries, recommends a vetted candidate, and installs it so it appears in the catalog on the next turn.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to find and install a skill for the capability you need, such as a Slack or weather integration not already in the catalog.

Frequently Asked Questions about ha-find-skills

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I find and install a skill for a capability my agent lacks?▼

Ask the agent to find a skill for the capability you need. It searches ClawHub or Skillhub registries, falls back to GitHub code search, vets candidates for license and safety, and installs your approved choice into ~/.hope-agent/skills/.

What registries can I search for third-party agent skills?▼

The workflow checks ClawHub first via its CLI, then Skillhub which uses a Tencent-CDN registry suited for users in China. If neither CLI is installed, it falls back to GitHub code search for SKILL.md files using the gh tool.

Does installing a third-party skill require my confirmation?▼

Yes, installation is treated as a high-risk operation. The agent presents up to three candidates with name, description, source, license, and install counts, then installs only after you explicitly approve.

Why doesn't my newly installed skill appear in the catalog?▼

The catalog rebuilds when the cache version bumps after adding or toggling skills. If the new skill is missing on the next turn, toggle it in Settings, then Skills, which forces a refresh of the catalog.

What safety checks run before a third-party skill is recommended?▼

Candidates must have a permissive license such as MIT or Apache-2.0, valid SKILL.md frontmatter with name and description, and no red flags in bundled scripts like curl-piped shell installs or credential harvesting patterns.
