SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Working with Agent Skills (SKILL.md folders) requires discovering trustworthy candidates, judging their quality, installing them to the right provider paths, and authoring new ones that follow structural best practices — all of which is error-prone without a guided workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Discovery and evaluation: Search GitHub, skills.sh, and skill registries, then score candidates on trigger quality, workflow, gates, evidence, and risk before recommending.
  • Gated installation: Install skills to provider-specific destinations (Claude, Cursor, Codex, and others) with approval gates, conflict handling, and copy/symlink modes.
  • Authoring and review: Create or improve skills with a lobby-and-references structure, then enforce quality with the skill-review.mjs done-gate script.
  • Use Case: You want a code-review skill for Claude Code. The skill searches registries, inspects real SKILL.md content, ranks candidates by installs and recency, and installs your pick after you approve the destination.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to find and install a skill for a task, for example: find a highly rated code review skill and install it for Claude Code.

Frequently Asked Questions about octocode-skills

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I find and install Agent Skills for Claude Code?▼

The skill searches GitHub, skills.sh, and registries in parallel, inspects each candidate's real SKILL.md, and ranks by content fit plus install counts. Installation is gated: you approve the provider, scope, and copy-or-symlink mode before any write occurs.

How do I create a SKILL.md skill that follows best practices?▼

Authoring guidance covers a lean SKILL.md lobby with workflows and routes, one-concept reference files under 50 lines, and deterministic scripts. After writing, run node scripts/skill-review.mjs on the folder and clear all ERROR findings before shipping.

What makes a good skill description for agent triggering?▼

A good description leads with a Use when clause, states user intents rather than internals, and stays under 1024 characters. The skill includes eval-query techniques to test should-trigger and should-not-trigger cases so activation is neither missed nor over-broad.

Does the skill support Cursor and Codex skill directories?▼

Yes, install destinations cover Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, Gemini, opencode, and shared agents directories at both user and project scope. The skill-sync script can symlink one local skill into multiple vendor directories after a dry-run and explicit approval.

Why does skill-review report errors on my skill folder?▼

Errors indicate structural violations such as missing frontmatter, a name that does not match the folder, references that are routed but missing, or links to files outside the skill folder. Each finding names the exact gap, and the rules reference explains how to fix every code.
