SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When you ask an agent how to do a specialized task, there may already be a published skill that handles it. This Skill removes the guesswork of finding, vetting, and installing those skills by guiding the agent through the Skills CLI search and install workflow. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Skill Discovery: Searches the open agent skills ecosystem with npx skills find, optionally scoped to a GitHub owner, and checks the skills.sh leaderboard for popular options. - Quality Verification: Evaluates candidates by install count, source reputation, and GitHub stars before recommending anything. - Guided Installation: Installs chosen skills with npx skills add, including global installs via the -g flag. - Use Case: You ask "is there a skill for PR reviews?" The agent searches for relevant skills, verifies the top result has strong install numbers from a reputable source, and offers to install it for you. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to find a skill for the task you have in mind, such as "find a skill for React performance optimization."

FAQPage Schema
How do I find a skill for a specific task?▼

Run npx skills find followed by keywords describing your task, such as npx skills find react performance. You can also browse the skills.sh leaderboard to see the most-installed skills by domain before searching.

How do I install an agent skill from GitHub?▼

Use npx skills add with the package identifier, for example npx skills add owner/repo@skill-name. Adding the -g flag installs it globally at the user level, and -y skips confirmation prompts.

How can I tell if a skill is trustworthy before installing?▼

Check the install count first, preferring skills with over 1K installs and treating anything under 100 with caution. Also verify the source reputation, favoring official publishers, and check the GitHub stars of the source repository.

What should I do when no skill exists for my task?▼

If the search returns no relevant results, the agent can handle the task directly with its general capabilities. For recurring needs, you can create your own skill by running npx skills init with a name for your new skill.

Can I search skills from a specific GitHub owner?▼

Yes, the find command supports an --owner flag to scope results to a specific GitHub owner, such as npx skills find testing --owner vercel-labs. This is useful when you trust a particular publisher's catalog.
