Find Skills

Workflow

  1. Identify domain, task, and whether reusable skill likely exists.
  2. Check skills.sh leaderboard for established options.
  3. Search when needed:
npx skills find [query] [--owner <owner>]

Use specific keywords and synonyms. Scope by owner when useful.

  1. Verify before recommending:
    • install count: prefer 1K+, treat under 100 cautiously;
    • source reputation;
    • GitHub activity and stars; treat under 100 stars cautiously;
    • skill contents and fit.
  2. Present name, purpose, source, install count, exact install command, and skills.sh link.
  3. Offer installation. With approval:
npx skills add <owner/repo@skill> -g -y

-g installs globally; -y skips prompts.

Useful commands:

npx skills add <package>
npx skills update
npx skills init <name>

If none fit, say so, offer direct help, and mention npx skills init <name> for repeated needs.
