SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Skill-finder eliminates manual searching and fragile copy-paste installs by discovering, ranking, and provisioning AI skills from curated registries and marketplaces into the current project. It bridges the bundled NONoise skills and the broader community ecosystem so Polly or a developer can quickly fill capability gaps without hunting across repos and lists.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enumerates multiple registered sources (GitHub repo trees, marketplace JSON, awesome-lists) and filters results by detected stack or user-specified technology.
  • Provides a fetch helper for unified, machine-readable listings and an install helper that clones a skill folder, copies it into .claude/skills/, and enriches SKILL.md frontmatter with source metadata.
  • Handles marketplace plugins by printing user-gated install instructions, supports custom sources merged from .nonoise configuration, and offers dry-run and safety checks to avoid destructive overwrites.
  • Use Case: Polly detects a missing Angular or C# support skill and delegates to skill-finder to propose top candidates and install the chosen skill into the project.

Quick Start

Use skill-finder to find and install a skill for Angular linting into the current project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I discover and install AI skills from GitHub registries into my project?

To discover and install AI skills, you enumerate curated GitHub repo trees and marketplace JSON, filter by detected stack, then clone the skill folder and copy it into .claude/skills/ with enriched SKILL.md metadata.

What is the best way to find community plugins for a specific technology stack?

Finding community plugins for a specific stack is done by enumerating registered sources like awesome-lists and marketplace JSON, then filtering results by your user-specified or detected technology to rank relevant candidates.

Can I pin a specific git commit when installing a skill from a marketplace?

Yes, you can pin a specific git commit when installing skills. The install helper clones the skill folder from GitHub repos with commit pinning and enriches the SKILL.md frontmatter with source metadata.

Does skill-finder support dry-run safety checks before overwriting existing skills?

Yes, dry-run safety checks are supported to avoid destructive overwrites. The installer offers dry-run mode and safety checks before copying skill folders into .claude/skills/ and enriching SKILL.md frontmatter.

How do I merge custom skill sources from local configuration files?

You can merge custom skill sources by reading the .nonoise configuration file. Custom sources defined there are merged with the default registered sources during registry enumeration and stack-based filtering.

How to handle marketplace plugin installs that require user-gated instructions?

Handling marketplace plugin installs is done by printing user-gated install instructions. The discovery process identifies marketplace plugins and outputs the manual steps needed rather than executing them automatically.
