SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When you ask an AI agent how to do something, there may already be a packaged skill that handles that task. This Skill discovers and installs those reusable agent skills so you do not have to build workflows from scratch. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Skill Discovery: Searches the open agent skills ecosystem with npx skills find [query] using domain-specific keywords like react, testing, or deployment. - Guided Installation: Installs selected skills globally with npx skills add <owner/repo@skill> -g -y and points users to skill pages on skills.sh. - Fallback Guidance: When no matching skill exists, offers direct help with the task and suggests creating a custom skill via npx skills init. - Use Case: You ask "can you help me with PR reviews?" The agent runs npx skills find pr review, presents matching skills with install commands, and installs the one you choose. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to find a skill for the task you want help with, such as "find a skill for React performance optimization".
