SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Keeping an agent's skill library current requires manually hunting through catalogs for capabilities that fill real gaps, then installing them safely. This Skill automates that discovery loop: it derives a concrete capability gap from repo signals, searches multiple skill catalogs, scores candidates against hard gates, and installs at most one trusted skill per run. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Gap-driven query derivation: Infers what to search for from failing skills in cron-state, open issues, non-template priorities, or recent log signals — and stays silent when no real gap exists. - Multi-catalog search with hard gates: Queries the npx skills CLI, curated GitHub indexes, and skills.sh, then filters candidates by gap fit, runtime compatibility, repo recency, and trust classification. - Trust-gated installation: Auto-installs only trusted, high-scoring candidates through bin/add-skill (updating skills.lock and aeon.yml), and routes untrusted matches to a manual-review notification instead. - Use Case: A scheduled run notices the rss-digest skill has failed three times, searches the catalogs for an RSS parser skill, finds a trusted well-maintained candidate, installs it on a branch, opens a PR, and notifies the operator. ## Quick Start Run the search-skill with an optional capability term like "rss" to find and install a gap-filling skill, or leave it empty to derive the gap automatically.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I find and install agent skills automatically?▼

Run this Skill with a capability term or let it derive a gap from failing skills, open issues, and priorities. It searches the npx skills CLI, curated GitHub indexes, and skills.sh, then installs the top trusted candidate via bin/add-skill on a PR branch.

What skill catalogs does the search cover?▼

The search covers three surfaces: the npx skills find CLI, curated GitHub indexes listed via bin/add-skill --list (vercel-labs, anthropics, BankrBot, and the local repo), and the skills.sh directory fetched over the web.

Can untrusted skills be installed automatically?▼

No. Candidates from sources not listed in trusted-sources.txt are never auto-installed. They are reported as candidates with the exact manual bin/add-skill command so the operator can review and install after a security scan.

Why did the skill search run without any notification?▼

Silence is intentional for no-gap, empty-result, and error exit modes. The run only notifies when a skill was installed or strong candidates need manual review, and all outcomes are recorded in the daily memory log.

How are duplicate or abandoned skills filtered out?▼

Candidates matching names in the skills directory or skills.lock are dropped as duplicates. Hard gates also reject skills whose source repo was not pushed within the last 180 days or that require unavailable runtimes like docker or paid-only APIs.
