About find-skills

The find-skills skill helps users discover and install agent skills from the open agent skills ecosystem. When users ask questions like "how do I do X", "find a skill for X", or express interest in extending their agent's capabilities, this skill searches the ecosystem and provides relevant recommendations. It acts as a bridge between user needs and the modular packages available through the Skills CLI (npx skills).

This skill provides comprehensive search functionality through the Skills CLI, allowing users to find domain-specific capabilities across web development, testing, DevOps, documentation, code quality, and design. It guides users through the entire discovery process—from understanding their requirements to searching for relevant skills, presenting options with installation commands, and executing the installation. The skill automatically uses the install-skill.sh script to install skills globally and link them to projects.

Developers, teams, and AI agent users who want to extend their agent's capabilities without building custom solutions from scratch will benefit from this skill. Whether you need React performance optimization, PR review automation, changelog generation, or specialized workflows in any technical domain, find-skills helps you locate and integrate the right tools quickly. It's particularly valuable for users who are new to the agent skills ecosystem and need guidance on what's available.
