Find Skills
This skill helps you discover 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"
- Wants to search for tools, templates, or workflows
- Expresses interest in extending agent capabilities
- Mentions they wish they had help with a specific domain (design, testing, deployment, etc.)
Step 1: Search for Skills
Use npx -y skills find with a relevant keyword to search the ecosystem:
npx -y skills find [query]
Examples:
- User asks "help me with React performance" →
npx -y skills find react performance
- User asks "is there a skill for PR reviews?" →
npx -y skills find pr review
- User asks "I need to create a changelog" →
npx -y skills find changelog
The search results will show installable skills like:
vercel-labs/agent-skills@vercel-react-best-practices
└ https://skills.sh/vercel-labs/agent-skills/vercel-react-best-practices
Browse all available skills at: https://skills.sh/
Step 2: Present Options
When you find relevant skills, present them to the user with:
- The skill name and what it does
- A link to learn more on skills.sh
Ask the user which skill(s) they want to install.
Step 3: Install
