SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When you need a capability your agent does not currently have, this Skill discovers and installs existing agent skills from the open skills ecosystem instead of building functionality from scratch. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Skill Discovery: Searches the skills ecosystem with npx skills find [query] and checks the skills.sh leaderboard for popular, well-maintained options. - Quality Verification: Evaluates install counts, source reputation, and GitHub stars before recommending any skill. - Guided Installation: Installs chosen skills with npx skills add <owner/repo@skill> -g -y and suggests creating a custom skill with npx skills init when nothing matches. - Use Case: You ask "how do I make my React app faster?" and the Skill searches for React performance skills, verifies a reputable option like vercel-labs/agent-skills, and installs it for you. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to find a skill for the task you want to accomplish, such as "find a skill for PR reviews".

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

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

Run npx skills find followed by a keyword query, 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 owner/repo@skill identifier, for example npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills@react-best-practices. Add the -g flag for global user-level installation and -y to skip confirmation prompts.

How do I know if a skill is trustworthy before installing?▼

Check the install count, preferring skills with over 1K installs, and verify the source reputation. Skills from official sources like vercel-labs, anthropics, or microsoft are more trustworthy, and repositories with under 100 stars should be treated with skepticism.

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

If no relevant skill is found, the agent can help with the task directly using its general capabilities. For recurring needs, you can create your own skill by running npx skills init with a name for your new skill.

How do I keep installed skills up to date?▼

Run npx skills check to see whether updates are available for your installed skills, then run npx skills update to update all of them at once.
