Skill Discovery & Pre-Install Check

Combined entry point for finding skills on GitHub and for evaluating a specific skill (URL or local path) before installing it.

Replaces the v1.2 split between /janitor-search and /janitor-precheck. The dispatcher picks the right mode from the argument shape:

Argument	Mode	What runs
Keyword(s) like `seo` or `n8n workflows`	Discovery	`search.sh` — find matching skills on GitHub
`--compare <skill-name>`	Comparison	`search.sh --compare` — find alternatives to a local skill
Full URL: `https://github.com/user/skill`	Pre-install check	`precheck.sh` — analyze before installing
Short repo: `user/skill`	Pre-install check	`precheck.sh` (auto-expanded to URL)
Local path: `~/path/to/skill`	Pre-install check	`precheck.sh` (local folder)

How to Run

bash ~/.claude/skills/skills-janitor/scripts/discover.sh <query-or-url> [options]

Examples:

discover.sh seo — search for SEO-related skills
discover.sh n8n --limit 20 — top 20 n8n skills
discover.sh --compare marketing-seo-audit — alternatives to a local skill
discover.sh https://github.com/user/my-skill — check before installing
discover.sh user/my-skill — same, short form

Output

Discovery mode — ranked list of GitHub repos with skill name, description, stars, last updated, and a one-line verdict.

Pre-install mode — overlap analysis: which of the user's existing skills (including plugin skills now scanned by v1.3) overlap with the candidate by description, and a recommendation to install / skip / replace.
