Find Skills

This skill helps you discover and install skills from the open agent skills ecosystem.

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
  • Mentions they wish they had help with a specific domain (design, testing, deployment, etc.)

What is the Skills CLI?

The Skills CLI (npx skills) is the package manager for the open agent skills ecosystem. Skills are modular packages that extend agent capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools.

Key commands:

  • npx skills find [query] [--owner <owner>] - Search for skills interactively or by keyword, optionally scoped to a GitHub owner
  • npx skills add <package> - Install a skill from GitHub or other sources
  • npx skills update - Update all installed skills

How to Help Users Find Skills

Step 1: Understand What They Need

When a user asks for help with something, identify:

  1. The domain (e.g., React, testing, design, deployment)
  2. The specific task (e.g., writing tests, creating animations, reviewing PRs)
  3. Whether this is a common enough task that a skill likely exists

Step 2: Check the Leaderboard First

Before running a CLI search, check the skills.sh leaderboard to see if a well-known skill already exists for the domain. The leaderboard ranks skills by total installs, surfacing the most popular and battle-tested options.

For example, top skills for web development include:

  • vercel-labs/agent-skills — React, Next.js, web design (100K+ installs each)
  • anthropics/skills — Frontend design, document processing (100K+ installs)

Step 3: Search for Skills

If the leaderboard doesn't cover the user's need, run the find command:

npx skills find [query] [--owner <owner>]

For example:

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

Step 4: Verify Quality Before Recommending

Do not recommend a skill based solely on search results. Always verify:

  1. Install count — Prefer skills with 1K+ installs. Be cautious with anything under 100.
  2. Source reputation — Official sources (vercel-labs, anthropics, microsoft) are more trustworthy than unknown authors.
  3. GitHub stars — Check the source repository. A skill from a repo with <100 stars should be treated with skepticism.

Step 5: Present Options to the User

When you find relevant skills, present them to the user with:

  1. The skill name and what it does
  2. The install count and source
  3. The install command they can run
  4. A link to learn more at skills.sh

Example response:

I found a skill that might help! The "react-best-practices" skill provides
React and Next.js performance optimization guidelines from Vercel Engineering.
(185K installs)

To install it:
npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills@react-best-practices

Learn more: https://skills.sh/vercel-labs/agent-skills/react-best-practices

Step 6: Offer to Install

If the user wants to proceed, you can install the skill for them:

npx skills add <owner/repo@skill> -g -y

The -g flag installs globally (user-level) and -y skips confirmation prompts.

Common Skill Categories

When searching, consider these common categories:

CategoryExample Queries
Web Developmentreact, nextjs, typescript, css, tailwind
Testingtesting, jest, playwright, e2e
DevOpsdeploy, docker, kubernetes, ci-cd
Documentationdocs, readme, changelog, api-docs
Code Qualityreview, lint, refactor, best-practices
Designui, ux, design-system, accessibility
Productivityworkflow, automation, git

Tips for Effective Searches

  1. Use specific keywords: "react testing" is better than just "testing"
  2. Try alternative terms: If "deploy" doesn't work, try "deployment" or "ci-cd"
  3. Check popular sources: Many skills come from vercel-labs/agent-skills or ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills

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 using your general capabilities
  3. Suggest the user could create their own skill with npx skills init

Example:

I searched for skills related to "xyz" but didn't find any matches.
I can still help you with this task directly! Would you like me to proceed?

If this is something you do often, you could create your own skill:
npx skills init my-xyz-skill

Audit and establish current agent context for the technologies that define a project's stack. Use when setting up a project for agent work, after selecting or adding a framework, library, developer tool, or hosted service, or when entering an existing project whose agent context has not been audited.

Revise active `docs/specs/SLUG/` specs so they match what has shipped since they were written. Use when earlier work has landed and queued specs may now rest on stale assumptions, acceptance criteria, constraints, terms, or prototypes, or when implementation reports a spec as stale before changing source. Takes one or more spec folders, or every folder under `docs/specs/` when none is named. Do not use to shape a new spec from a problem and direction, which belongs to `shape-idea`, or to reconcile durable project context and retire shipped folders, which belongs to `maintain-project-context`.

Build a complete dummy-data HTML prototype or a temporary comparison of up to three alternatives for a specific user situation. Use to settle a screen-based product before implementation or resolve a visual or interaction decision during shaping or prototype review. Do not use for production implementation or CLI, terminal, or voice interfaces.

commit

Free

Create Git commits for the current request's in-scope changes as logical Conventional Commits. Always use this skill for an actual Git commit operation, including requests to commit or amend changes, save work in repository history, stage and record selected files, or group staged or unstaged changes into commits. Use it even when the request describes recording changes without saying "commit"; it performs the commit rather than only suggesting a message, and it does not push.

Interview the user to define or revise the app's overall product direction, then preserve the confirmed meaning in root PRODUCT.md. Always use for a new app direction or any app-wide change to users, usage situations, problem, promised change, core loop, durable boundaries, experience principles, success signals, assumptions, or unknowns, even when PRODUCT.md is not named. Start from an existing definition or a rough app direction. Do not use for blank-page idea discovery, architecture, or shaping or specifying one feature or work unit.
