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]- Search for skills interactively or by keywordnpx skills add- Install a skill from GitHub or other sourcesnpx skills check- Check for skill updatesnpx skills update- Update all installed skills
Browse skills at: https://skills.sh/
How to Help Users Find Skills
Step 1: Understand What They Need
When a user asks for help with something, identify:
- The domain (e.g., React, testing, design, deployment)
- The specific task (e.g., writing tests, creating animations, reviewing PRs)
- 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.
Step 3: Search for Skills
If the leaderboard doesn't cover the user's need, run the find command:
npx skills find [query]
Step 4: Verify Quality Before Recommending
Do not recommend a skill based solely on search results. Always verify:
- Install count — Prefer skills with 1K+ installs. Be cautious with anything under 100.
- Source reputation — Official sources (
vercel-labs,anthropics,microsoft) are more trustworthy than unknown authors. - 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:
- The skill name and what it does
- The install count and source
- The install command they can run
- A link to learn more at skills.sh
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.
When No Skills Are Found
If no relevant skills exist:
- Acknowledge that no existing skill was found
- Offer to help with the task directly using your general capabilities
- Suggest the user could create their own skill with
npx skills init
