SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Users often need specialized capabilities that already exist as installable agent skills, but they do not know how to discover, evaluate, or install them. This Skill guides the agent to search the open agent skills ecosystem and recommend verified options. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Skill Discovery: Searches the skills ecosystem via npx skills find and the skills.sh leaderboard to match user needs with existing skills. - Quality Verification: Evaluates install counts, source reputation, and GitHub stars before recommending any skill. - Guided Installation: Installs selected skills with npx skills add using global and non-interactive flags. - Use Case: A user asks "how do I make my React app faster?" The agent searches for React performance skills, verifies a top result from vercel-labs with 185K installs, and offers to install it. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to find a skill for a specific task, such as "find a skill for PR reviews", and it will search, verify, and offer to install a matching skill.
