SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When you need a capability your agent doesn't have, manually hunting for existing solutions wastes time. This Skill discovers, evaluates, and installs reusable agent skills from the open skills ecosystem so you can extend agent functionality on demand. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Skill Discovery: Searches the skills registry via npx skills find and the skills.sh leaderboard to surface relevant, popular skills by domain or task. - Quality Verification: Evaluates install counts, source reputation, and GitHub stars before recommending any skill. - Guided Installation: Installs chosen skills with npx skills add, including global installation flags. - Use Case: You ask "how do I make my React app faster?" and the Skill searches for React performance skills, verifies a top result like vercel-labs/agent-skills, and installs it for you. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to find a skill for a task you need help with, such as "find a skill for PR reviews".

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

Run npx skills find followed by your query keywords, 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?▼
