Can I search for automation skills by keywords or tags?▼

Yes, you can search for automation skills by providing specific keywords, categories, or tags to the `search_skills` MCP tool to find matching entries in the registry.

What's the best way to add code analysis features to my agent?▼

The best way to add code analysis features is to query the registry for "code analysis" keywords using `search_skills`, then retrieve and install the matching component locally using `get_skill`.
