Find Skills

Find Skills

This skill helps you discover and install skills from the open agent skills ecosystem.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• The user asks "how do I do X" where X might be a common task with an existing skill
• The user says "find a skill for X" or "is there a skill for X"
• The user asks "can you do X" where X is a specialized capability
• The user expresses interest in extending agent capabilities
• The user wants to search for tools, templates, or workflows
• The user mentions they wish they had help with a specific domain (design, testing, deployment, etc.)

Do NOT use this skill if:

• The user wants to optimize an existing skill's description → use skill-optimizer instead
• The user wants GitHub operations → use gh-cli instead
• The capability is already available as a built-in tool or installed skill
• The user is asking for general knowledge that doesn't require a specialized skill

Typical triggers:

• 「找个skill」「有没有技能能做X」「搜索技能」
• "find a skill for X" "install skill" "npx skills"
• 「扩展agent能力」「skill marketplace」「找工具」

Workflow

1. 探查 (Probe) 理解用户需求，识别领域（如 React、testing、design、deployment）和具体任务，判断是否可能存在对应技能。

2. 约束 (Constrain) 设定搜索边界：使用具体关键词而非泛词；若首次搜索无果，尝试替代术语。安装技能前必须获得用户确认，不自动安装。

3. 证据 (Evidence) 搜索结果来自 npx skills find 命令的实时返回和 skills.sh 目录。每个推荐的技能必须有名称、功能描述、安装命令和来源链接，不编造不存在的技能。

4. 执行 (Execute) Run the find command with a relevant query:

npx skills find [query]

For example:

• User asks "how do I make my React app faster?" → npx skills find react performance
• User asks "can you help me with PR reviews?" → npx skills find pr review
• User asks "I need to create a changelog" → npx skills find changelog

The command will return results like:

Install with npx skills add <owner/repo@skill>

vercel-labs/agent-skills@vercel-react-best-practices
└ https://skills.sh/vercel-labs/agent-skills/vercel-react-best-practices

Present options to the user with: skill name, what it does, install command, and a link to learn more at skills.sh.

5. 验证 (Verify) 验证推荐的技能确实存在于 skills.sh 目录，安装命令格式正确（owner/repo@skill）。若用户选择安装，验证安装成功且技能可被发现。

6. 交付 (Deliver) If the user wants to proceed, install the skill:

npx skills add <owner/repo@skill> -g -y

The -g flag installs globally (user-level) and -y skips confirmation prompts.

If no relevant skills exist: acknowledge that no existing skill was found, offer to help with the task directly using general capabilities, and suggest the user could create their own skill with npx skills init.

Output

A list of recommended skills with: skill name (owner/repo@skill format), one-line description, install command (npx skills add ...), and skills.sh link. If the user proceeds, the skill is installed globally and confirmation is returned. If no skills are found, a clear message is returned with alternative suggestions.

What is the Skills CLI?

The Skills CLI (npx skills) is the package manager for the open agent skills ecosystem. Skills are modular packages that extend agent capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools.

Key commands:

• npx skills find [query] - Search for skills interactively or by keyword
• npx skills add <package> - Install a skill from GitHub or other sources
• npx skills check - Check for skill updates
• npx skills update - Update all installed skills

Browse skills at: https://skills.sh/

Common Skill Categories

When searching, consider these common categories:

Tips for Effective Searches

1. Use specific keywords: "react testing" is better than just "testing"
2. Try alternative terms: If "deploy" doesn't work, try "deployment" or "ci-cd"
3. Check popular sources: Many skills come from vercel-labs/agent-skills or ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills

Guardrails

Source & Attribution

• This skill uses the Skills CLI (npx skills) and the skills.sh directory (https://skills.sh/), an open ecosystem for agent skills.
• Skills are installed from GitHub repositories and other sources specified by the Skills CLI.
• No skills are bundled or endorsed by UniqueClub — users install third-party skills at their own discretion.

Anti-patterns

• NEVER install a skill without explicit user confirmation — always present options first.
• Do NOT fabricate or recommend skills that don't exist in the skills.sh directory.
• NEVER run npx skills add with untrusted sources without warning the user about third-party code.
• Do NOT use this skill to optimize or audit existing skills — use skill-optimizer instead.

Constraints

• Always use specific search keywords; avoid overly broad queries.
• If no skills are found, offer to help directly rather than forcing a skill installation.
• Verify install commands are in owner/repo@skill format before executing.
• Clean up any temporary files created during the search/install process.

Related Skills

• skill-optimizer — Audit and optimize installed SKILL.md files for discoverability and routing accuracy.
• gh-cli — GitHub CLI reference for repository operations, useful when skills are hosted on GitHub.
• bright-data — Web data extraction skill, an example of a specialized capability that might be found via this skill.
