SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
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 <package>- 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: Search for Skills
Run the find command with a relevant query:
npx skills find [query]
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
The command will return results like:
Install with npx skills add <owner/repo@skill>
vercel-labs/agent-skills@vercel-react-best-practices
└ https://skills.sh/vercel-labs/agent-skills/vercel-react-best-practices
Step 3: 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 command they can run
- A link to learn more at skills.sh
Example response:
I found a skill that might help! The "vercel-react-best-practices" skill provides
React and Next.js performance optimization guidelines from Vercel Engineering.
To install it:
npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills@vercel-react-best-practices
Learn more: https://skills.sh/vercel-labs/agent-skills/vercel-react-best-practices
Step 4: 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:
| Category | Example Queries |
|---|---|
| Web Development | react, nextjs, typescript, css, tailwind |
| Testing | testing, jest, playwright, e2e |
| DevOps | deploy, docker, kubernetes, ci-cd |
| Documentation | docs, readme, changelog, api-docs |
| Code Quality | review, lint, refactor, best-practices |
| Design | ui, ux, design-system, accessibility |
| Productivity | workflow, automation, git |
Tips for Effective Searches
- Use specific keywords: "react testing" is better than just "testing"
- Try alternative terms: If "deploy" doesn't work, try "deployment" or "ci-cd"
- Check popular sources: Many skills come from
vercel-labs/agent-skillsorComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills
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
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
