malo-find-skills

Helps users discover and install agent skills when they ask questions like "how do I do X", "find a skill for X", "is there a skill that can...", or express interest in extending capabilities. This skill should be used when the user is looking for functionality that might exist as an installable skill.

Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.

Find Skills

This skill helps you discover and install skills from the open agent skills ecosystem (https://skills.sh). Based on the find-skills skill by Vercel, adapted for this Nix-managed environment.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user:

  • Asks "how do I do X" where X might be a common task with an existing skill
  • Says "find a skill for X" or "is there a skill for X"
  • Asks "can you do X" where X is a specialized capability
  • Expresses interest in extending agent capabilities
  • Wants to search for tools, templates, or workflows

How Skills Work in This Setup

All paths below (e.g. home/claude.nix, configs/claude/skills/) are relative to the nix-config directory.

Skills are split into two categories:

  • Custom skills: Directories in configs/claude/skills/ committed to the nix-config repo. These are skills we author and maintain.
  • External skills: Installed from skills.sh via npx skills add. These are managed by an activation script in home/claude.nix and are gitignored (they appear as symlinks in the skills directory, not regular directories).

The activation script defines a list called externalSkills. On every nh darwin switch --no-nom, it removes all Claude Code external skills and reinstalls only the declared ones. This keeps external skills declarative and reproducible.

Finding Skills

Step 1: Search

Run the find command with a relevant query:

npx skills find [query]

For example:

  • "how do I make my React app faster?" -> npx skills find react performance
  • "can you help me with PR reviews?" -> npx skills find pr review
  • "I need to create a changelog" -> npx skills find changelog

You can also browse skills at https://skills.sh/

Step 2: Present Options

When you find relevant skills, present them with:

  1. The skill name and what it does
  2. The install command
  3. A link to learn more

Step 3: Install

To try a skill immediately:

npx skills add <owner/repo> --skill <name> -g -a claude-code -y

Always pass -a claude-code to avoid installing for other agents. The -g flag installs globally (user-level) and -y skips prompts.

Step 4: Make It Permanent

If the user wants to keep the skill across rebuilds, add it to the externalSkills list in home/claude.nix:

externalSkills = [
  "anthropics/skills --skill pdf"
  "owner/repo --skill new-skill"  # <- add here
];

Then nh darwin switch --no-nom will install it on every activation.

Creating a Custom Skill

If no existing skill fits, or the user wants to build their own:

  1. Create a directory in configs/claude/skills/<skill-name>/
  2. Add a SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter (name and description) and instructions
  3. The gitignore allowlists directories automatically, so it will be tracked in git
  4. Optionally add references/, scripts/, or other supporting files

When No Skills Are Found

If no relevant skills exist:

  1. Acknowledge that no existing skill was found
  2. Offer to help with the task directly
  3. Suggest creating a custom skill if it's a repeatable workflow

This skill should be used when the user asks for "deep research", "research team", "comprehensive analysis", "research report", "investigate thoroughly", "compare X vs Y in depth", or needs synthesis across multiple sources with verification. It spawns a coordinated team of researcher agents across multiple rounds, with the lead triaging findings and creating targeted follow-up tasks. Scales from Focused (2 researchers, 1-2 rounds) to Comprehensive (4 researchers, 3-4 rounds with cross-verification). Do NOT use for simple lookups, debugging, or questions answerable with 1-2 searches.

docx

Free

Use this skill whenever the user wants to create, read, edit, or manipulate Word documents (.docx files) or Word templates (.dotx files). Triggers include: any mention of 'Word doc', 'word document', '.docx', '.dotx', or requests to produce professional documents with formatting like tables of contents, headings, page numbers, or letterheads. Also use when extracting or reorganizing content from .docx or .dotx files, inserting or replacing images in documents, performing find-and-replace in Word files, working with tracked changes or comments, or converting content into a polished Word document. If the user asks for a 'report', 'memo', 'letter', 'template', or similar deliverable as a Word or .docx file, use this skill. Do NOT use for PDFs, spreadsheets, Google Docs, or general coding tasks unrelated to document generation.

Workaround for Claude Code filtering BMP PUA Unicode (U+E000-U+F8FF). Supplementary PUA Nerd Font icons like 󰊤 󱃾 󰁹 (U+F0000+, e.g. nf-md-github, nf-md-kubernetes, nf-md-battery) can be written directly. BMP PUA icons (Powerline, Font Awesome, Devicons) require placeholder syntax like {{ U+E0A0 }} or {{ nf-fa-star }} (without spaces), which hooks auto-convert. Invoke when reading or writing Starship configs, tmux themes, shell prompts, or statuslines.
