Find Skills

Use this skill when a user asks about extending agent capabilities, finding tools for specific tasks, or when functionality might exist as a community skill.

When to Use

  • User asks "how do I do X" and X might be a skill
  • User asks to "find a skill for..." or "is there a skill that can..."
  • User wants to extend agent capabilities
  • Looking for domain-specific tooling or integrations

How to Search

  1. Check the skill registry at skills.sh
  2. Search GitHub for repositories with .agents/skills/ directories
