BlakeHastings Skill Finder
Find Agent Skills (the SKILL.md package format) anywhere in the ecosystem and return ranked, install-ready results. This skill compounds: it reads from registries that already index tens of thousands of skills, so it stays current without me re-crawling GitHub.
When to use
- "Is there a skill for X?" / "find me a skill that does Y"
- "What skills exist for ?" (pdf, security, react, testing, marketing...)
- "Refresh / re-run skill discovery"
- The user wants an install command for a specific skill
How to find skills
Run the reader. It queries live registries, dedupes, and ranks (official first, then by stars / security grade):
node "C:/Users/Blake/.claude/skills/skill-finder/scripts/find-skills.mjs" "<query>" --limit 25
Flags:
--limit N— how many results (default 25)--sources skillsmp,official,guild— which registries (defaultskillsmp,official; addguildfor the heavy 75MB cross-agent catalog with security grades)--json— machine-readable output
Examples:
node .../find-skills.mjs "security audit" --limit 15node .../find-skills.mjs "" --sources official— list the full official catalognode .../find-skills.mjs "kubernetes" --sources skillsmp,official,guild— widest net
If node is unavailable, fall back to curl: see references/registries.md for the raw endpoints and example requests.
How to install a found skill
Two install paths dominate. Pick based on where the skill lives:
- Vercel
skillsCLI (works for any GitHub repo with a SKILL.md):npx skills add <github-url-or-owner/repo> --skill <name> - Claude Code plugin marketplace (for repos shipping
.claude-plugin/marketplace.json):/plugin marketplace add <owner/repo>then/plugin install <plugin>@<marketplace> - Manual: clone the skill folder into
~/.claude/skills/<name>/(user scope) or<project>/.claude/skills/<name>/(project scope), then/reload-skillsor restart.
Always tell the user the source repo and that skills are executable instructions — only install from sources they trust.
Ongoing discovery (feeds)
To catch newly published skills over time, poll these (see references/registries.md for the full list):
https://github.com/anthropics/skills/commits/main.atom— new/updated official skillshttps://skillsmp.com/api/skills?q=&sortBy=recent— newest community skillshttps://skills.sh— install-telemetry leaderboard (true popularity)
