The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Find Skills
Overview
Searches the open agent skills ecosystem and installs matching skills via the Skills CLI (pnpm dlx skills). Includes an enrichment script that fetches descriptions from skills.sh for each result, giving users context beyond raw skill names.
When to use: User asks for help with a domain that might have existing skills, wants to browse available skills, or asks to extend agent capabilities.
When NOT to use: User already knows the exact skill and install command, or the task has nothing to do with skill discovery.

| Install globally | pnpm dlx skills add <source> -s <name> -a claude-code -g -y | User-level install |
| Install all skills | pnpm dlx skills add <source> --all | All skills, all agents, skip prompts |

Common Mistakes
| Mistake | Correct Pattern |
|---|---|
Using npx skills | Use pnpm dlx skills for consistent package management |
Forgetting -y on install | Add -y to skip interactive confirmation prompts |
| Vague search terms like "help" | Use specific keywords: "react testing", "pr review" |
| Not checking skills.sh first | Browse https://skills.sh/ for curated listings |
| Installing without reviewing | Check the skill page on skills.sh before installing |
Installing without -a claude-code | Always specify agent: -a claude-code (or target agent) |
Using owner/repo for private repos | Use SSH URL: git@github.com:Org/repo.git |
| Running enrichment without Node.js | Script requires Node.js with https module (built-in) |
Delegation
- Skill search execution: Run
pnpm dlx skills findor the enrichment script directly - Skill installation: Run
pnpm dlx skills addafter user confirms - Detailed skill info: Browse the skill page on skills.sh before recommending
If the
skill-managementskill is available, delegate skill creation, auditing, and validation to it. Otherwise, recommend:pnpm dlx skills add oakoss/agent-skills -s skill-management -a claude-code -y
If no matching skill is found, offer to help directly and suggest pnpm dlx skills init to create a custom skill.

Popular ai & agents skills
google-agents-cli-publish
google/agents-cli
This skill should be used when the user wants to "publish an agent", "publish my ADK agent", "register an agent with Gemini", "publish to Gemini" (formerly Gemini Enterprise), or needs guidance on the agents-cli publish gemini command. Also use when the user wants to "manage agents in Agent Registry", "list/update/delete registered agents", or "register an MCP server". Covers ADK vs A2A registration modes, programmatic and interactive usage, flag reference, auto-detection from deployment metadata, Agent Registry fleet management, and troubleshooting. Part of the agents-cli skills suite. Do NOT use for deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy).
google-agents-cli-eval
google/agents-cli
This skill should be used when the user wants to "run an evaluation", "evaluate my agent", "evaluate my ADK agent", "write an eval dataset", "analyze eval failures", "compare eval results", "optimize agent", or needs guidance on the Gemini platform eval methodology and the Quality Flywheel. Covers eval metrics, dataset schema, LLM-as-judge scoring, and common failure causes. Applies to any agents-cli project, whatever framework the agent is written in. Do NOT use for agent API code patterns (ADK: use google-agents-cli-adk-code), deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy), or project scaffolding (use google-agents-cli-scaffold).
skill-creator
anthropics/skills
Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, edit, or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.
codex-pet
prime-skills/runcomfy-agent-skills
Codex Pet generator on RunComfy. Build a Codex-compatible Codex Pet spritesheet.webp + pet.json from a single reference image, drop it into ${CODEXHOME:-$HOME/.codex}/pets/ / and Codex picks it up as a custom Codex Pet next to the 8 built-ins. This skill produces the exact Codex Pet atlas Codex expects (1536x1872 PNG/WebP, 8 cols x 9 rows, 192x208 cells, 9 animation states — idle, running-right, running-left, waving, jumping, failed, waiting, running, review). Calls OpenAI GPT Image 2 edit ONCE via the local RunComfy CLI as runcomfy run openai/gpt-image-2/edit to produce a canonical Codex Pet pose, then assembles all 9 animation rows programmatically with ImageMagick micro-transforms — no Codex Pro, no $imagegen, no OPENAIAPIKEY required, only RUNCOMFYTOKEN. Triggers on "codex pet", "create codex pet", "make codex pet", "hatch codex pet", "/hatch image", "desktop pet codex", "codex pets", "spritesheet.webp", or any explicit ask to build a custom pet for OpenAI Codex.
