FAQ
How do I search for a skill that matches my task?
You can use the Skills CLI command `npx skills find [query]` to search for skills by keyword or task description. For example, `npx skills find react performance` will search for skills related to React performance optimization.
Can I trust all skills returned in the search results?
No. It is recommended to verify the skill's quality by checking the install count (preferably 1K+), the source reputation, and GitHub stars. Skills from unknown authors or repositories with fewer than 100 stars should be approached cautiously.
How do I install a skill once I find one?
To install a skill, use the command `npx skills add <owner/repo@skill>`. Adding the `-g` flag installs it globally and `-y` skips confirmation prompts.
What domains or types of tasks does this skill support?
It supports a wide range of domains including development (React, Next.js), design, testing, deployment, and workflow automation. Essentially, any task that could be handled by a modular agent skill can be searched for using this skill.
Where can I browse available skills without using the CLI?
You can browse all available skills and check the leaderboard at https://skills.sh/ to see the most popular and well-maintained skills.
