Find Skills from skills.sh

Search the open agent skills ecosystem for procedural knowledge.

When to Use

• •Starting work with a specific technology (TypeScript, React, Python, Rust, etc.)
• •User asks for best practices or guidelines
• •Need domain-specific procedural knowledge
• •User explicitly requests skill search

Local Cache First

Check local cache before searching online:

.claude/plugins/kuro/skills/_skills-sh-data/

Available cached skills:

• •vite - Vite build tool (read _skills-sh-data/vite/INDEX.md)
• •vitest - Vitest testing framework (read _skills-sh-data/vitest/INDEX.md)
• •vercel-react-best-practices - React best practices (read _skills-sh-data/vercel-react-best-practices/AGENTS.md)

If the technology matches a cached skill, read the INDEX.md directly - no network needed.

Online Search Workflow

Step 1: Search skills.sh

Use WebSearch with site filter:

site:skills.sh {technology}

Examples:

• •site:skills.sh typescript - TypeScript skills
• •site:skills.sh react testing - React testing skills
• •site:skills.sh python fastapi - Python FastAPI skills
• •site:skills.sh nextjs - Next.js skills

Step 2: Present Results

Show user the top 3-5 results in a table:

Let user select which skill to apply, or auto-select top result if only one is highly relevant.

Step 3: Fetch Selected Skill

Use WebFetch on the skill page URL:

https://skills.sh/{owner}/{repo}/{skill-name}

Example:

WebFetch("https://skills.sh/wshobson/agents/typescript-advanced-types", "Extract the complete skill content including best practices, patterns, and guidelines")

Step 4: Apply Instructions

Extract and apply the skill's:

• •Best practices and guidelines
• •Code patterns and examples
• •Common pitfalls to avoid
• •Recommended approaches
• •Type patterns (for TypeScript skills)

Quick Reference

URL Patterns

• •Search page: https://skills.sh/?q={query}
• •Skill page: https://skills.sh/{owner}/{repo}/{skill-name}
• •Leaderboard: https://skills.sh/ (37K+ skills)

Example Session

User: "I'm working on TypeScript, find relevant skills"

Agent workflow:

1. •Check local cache - no TypeScript skill cached
2. •WebSearch: site:skills.sh typescript
3. •Present top results to user
4. •User selects "typescript-advanced-types"
5. •WebFetch: https://skills.sh/wshobson/agents/typescript-advanced-types
6. •Apply skill instructions to current TypeScript work

Tips

• •Always check local cache first (faster, no network)
• •Use specific queries: "typescript generics" beats "typescript"
• •Skills from vercel-labs/agent-skills and anthropics/skills are high quality
• •Install count indicates popularity but not necessarily quality
• •Read the full skill content before applying to understand context
