Frequently Asked Questions about registry-browser

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I search legal skills across watched registries without installing them?

Legal skill discovery works by loading configured watched registries from legal-builder-hub/CLAUDE.md, fetching their indexes, and matching your query against skill frontmatter to present install-safe previews without automatic installation.

Can I preview SKILL.md content before deciding to install a legal workflow skill?

Yes, registry-browser presents matched results with name and description, then lets you view the full SKILL.md content as an install-safe preview so you can review legal workflow details before committing to installation.

What's the best way to browse a GitHub skill index for legal and compliance workflows?

Browsing a GitHub skill index for legal workflows involves querying watched registries that have been cached locally, matching your search terms against skill frontmatter descriptions, and returning dependency-free preview results for review.

Do I need any dependencies to browse legal skill catalogs and registry indexes?

No dependencies are required. The registry-browser operates dependency-free, loading the local watched registries list from legal-builder-hub/CLAUDE.md, fetching GitHub indexes, caching results, and presenting previews without external packages.

How do I add a new GitHub registry URL to my legal skills watchlist?

Adding a new registry URL to the watchlist is supported through registry expansion on request, which validates that the provided URL looks like a skills repository before adding it to the locally configured legal-builder-hub/CLAUDE.md list.

Why does my legal skill registry search return cached results instead of new listings?

Legal skill registry searches return cached results because the registry-browser fetches and caches registry indexes to enable dependency-free browsing, meaning newly published skills may not appear until the cache is refreshed during subsequent searches.
