Find Skills
Discover and install skills from the open agent skills ecosystem using npx skills.
Installation
OpenClaw / Moltbot / Clawbot
npx clawhub@latest install find-skills
WHAT This Skill Does
Helps users find and install modular skill packages that extend agent capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools.
WHEN To Use
- User asks "how do I do X" where X might have an existing skill
- User says "find a skill for X" or "is there a skill for X"
- User asks "can you do X" where X is a specialized capability
- User wants to extend agent capabilities
- User mentions wishing they had help with a specific domain
KEYWORDS: find skill, search skill, install skill, add skill, npx skills, skills.sh
The Workflow
1. Identify What They Need
Map their request to a search query:
- Domain: React, testing, design, deployment, etc.
- Task: writing tests, creating animations, reviewing PRs, etc.
2. Search for Skills
npx skills find [query]
Examples:
| User Request |
Search Query |
| "How do I make my React app faster?" |
npx skills find react performance |
| "Can you help with PR reviews?" |
npx skills find pr review |
| "I need to create a changelog" |
npx skills find changelog |
3. Present Results
When results are found:
I found a skill that might help! The "[skill-name]" skill provides [brief description].
To install it:
npx skills add [owner/repo@skill]
Learn more: https://skills.sh/[owner]/[repo]/[skill]
4. Install (If Requested)
npx skills add <owner/repo@skill> -g -y
-g = install globally (user-level)
-y = skip confirmation prompts
Common Skill Categories
| Category |
Example Queries |
| Web Development |
react, nextjs, typescript, tailwind |
| Testing |
testing, jest, playwright, e2e |
| DevOps |
deploy, docker, kubernetes, ci-cd |
| Documentation |
docs, readme, changelog, api-docs |
| Code Quality |
review, lint, refactor, best-practices |
| Design |
ui, ux, design-system, accessibility |
When No Skills Found
I searched for skills related to "[query]" but didn't find any matches.
I can still help with this task directly. Would you like me to proceed?
If this is something you do often, you could create your own skill:
npx skills init my-skill-name
NEVER
- Assume a skill exists without searching first
- Install skills without user confirmation
- Recommend creating a skill when an existing one would work
- Search with vague single-word queries (be specific: "react testing" not "testing")
