File contents

/registry-browser

Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-builder-hub/CLAUDE.md → watched registries.
Use the workflow below.
Search each registry. Show matches with descriptions.
Offer to show full SKILL.md for any match.

Purpose

Find skills across the watched registries. Search, preview, decide.

Load context

~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-builder-hub/CLAUDE.md → watched registries list.

Workflow

Step 1: Fetch registry indexes

For each watched registry:

GitHub repos: fetch skills/ directory listing and each SKILL.md frontmatter (name + description).
Marketplace-style registries: fetch the index.

Cache the index locally (references/registry-cache.json) so browsing is fast. Refresh cache if >7 days old or on request.

Step 2: Search

Match query against skill names and descriptions. Simple keyword match is fine — these are small enough that fuzzy search is overkill.

Also: browse by category if the registry organizes skills that way.

Step 3: Present matches

## Search: "[query]"

**Found [N] skills across [M] registries:**

### [skill-name]
**From:** [registry name]
**Description:** [from frontmatter]
[View full SKILL.md] [Install]

### [skill-name]
[...]

Step 4: Preview

On "view full SKILL.md": fetch and show the whole file. User reads it before deciding to install. No surprises.

Step 5: Add a registry

If the user has a URL to a registry not in the watchlist:

Fetch it, validate it's a skills repo (has skills/ or .claude-plugin/)
Show what's in it
Add to ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-builder-hub/CLAUDE.md → watched registries on confirmation

Default registries

lpm-skills — 14 legal project management skills. Practice-agnostic. Good starting point.
Space for others to be added as the ecosystem grows.

What this skill does not do

Install anything. It browses. skill-installer installs.
