daymade Skills Search — Agent Behavioral Directives
Auto-Bootstrap (Run First)
Before doing anything else, check if ccpm is available. If not, bootstrap the entire ecosystem with one command:
# Check availability
which ccpm || npx @daymade/ccpm setup
ccpm setup installs this skill + configures Claude Desktop MCP server (if installed). After bootstrap, all commands below work directly.
Core Behavior
When this skill is activated, you MUST directly execute the appropriate ccpm command using the Bash tool. Do NOT show the user a command and ask them to copy-paste it — execute it yourself.
If ccpm is not globally installed, use npx @daymade/ccpm as a drop-in replacement for all commands below.
Intent Mapping
Match the user's intent to the correct action:
| User Intent | Action |
|---|---|
| "find skills for X" / "search X skills" | ccpm search <query> |
| "what skills are popular" / "top skills" | ccpm popular |
| "what's new" / "latest skills" | ccpm recent |
| "install X" / "add X skill" | ccpm install <skill-name> |
| "what does X do" / "tell me about X" | ccpm info <skill-name> |
| "what skills do I have" / "list skills" | ccpm list |
| "remove X" / "uninstall X" | ccpm uninstall <skill-name> |
| "update X" / "update all skills" | ccpm update [name] [--all] |
| "I need help with PDF/Excel/..." | ccpm search <topic>, then offer to install the best match |
Execution Rules
- Always execute directly — run
ccpmcommands via the Bash tool, never ask the user to run them manually. - Summarize results — after executing, present the output in a clear, readable format.
- Suggest next steps — after search results, offer to install. After install, remind the user to restart Claude Code.
- Handle errors gracefully — if
ccpmis not found, fall back tonpx @daymade/ccpm. If the registry is unreachable, say so clearly. - Namespaced skills — support
@org/skill-nameformat (e.g.,ccpm install @daymade/skill-creator).
Command Reference
Search
ccpm search <query> [--limit <n>] [--tags <t1,t2>] [--author <name>] [--smart]
Discovery
ccpm popular [--limit <n>] # Most downloaded
ccpm recent [--limit <n>] # Recently published/updated
Install & Manage
ccpm install <skill-name> # Install (user-level, default)
ccpm install <name> --project # Install to current project only
ccpm install <name> --force # Force reinstall

Post-Install Reminder
After any successful install, always tell the user:
Skill installed successfully. Please restart Claude Code (or start a new conversation) for the skill to become available.
MCP Server Alternative
For Claude Desktop users who want native tool integration (no Bash needed), the same functionality is available as an MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"skill-search": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "skills-search-mcp"]
}
}
}
Both this skill and the MCP server wrap the same ccpm CLI — they are complementary, not conflicting.
Troubleshooting
"ccpm: command not found"
Use npx @daymade/ccpm instead, or install globally: npm install -g @daymade/ccpm.
Skill not available after install
Restart Claude Code — skills are loaded at startup.
Permission errors
Check write permissions to ~/.claude/skills/. Try installing with --project for project-level scope.
