Workflow
1. Check Installed Skills
First, list what's already installed:
bash
ls ~/.claude/skills/oneshot/ | grep -v INDEX | grep -v TEMPLATE | head -20
2. Show ONE_SHOT vs External Comparison
| ONE_SHOT Skill | Similar External | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| git-workflow | git-pushing@anthropic | ONE_SHOT has conventional commits |
| test-runner | test-fixing@anthropic | Similar approach |
| code-reviewer | code-auditor@skillsmp | ONE_SHOT includes OWASP |
| debugger | debug-guru@skillsmp | ONE_SHOT is hypothesis-based |
| create-plan | architect@skillsmp | ONE_SHOT integrates with beads |
| front-door | - | Unique to ONE_SHOT |
| beads | - | Unique to ONE_SHOT |
3. Browse External Skills
Use web search to find skills by category:
javascript
WebSearch({
query: "site:github.com anthropics/skills OR site:skillsmp.com [category] skill"
})
Popular categories to search:
- •"document creation" - DOCX, PDF, PPTX
- •"API testing" - REST, GraphQL validation
- •"data analysis" - pandas, visualization
- •"devops" - Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD
4. Install External Skills (If User Wants)
bash
# Add official marketplace /plugin marketplace add anthropics/skills # Install specific skill set /plugin install document-skills@anthropic-agent-skills # Install from SkillsMP (requires marketplace.json) /plugin install <skill-name>@skillsmp
Comparison Criteria
When comparing skills, evaluate:
| Criteria | Weight | Question |
|---|---|---|
| Overlap | High | Does ONE_SHOT already cover this? |
| Integration | High | Works with beads/handoff? |
| Quality | Medium | Well-documented? Maintained? |
| Complexity | Medium | Token cost when loaded? |
| Uniqueness | Low | Novel capability? |
Recommendation Engine
Based on ONE_SHOT gaps, these external skills add value:
Worth Installing
- •document-skills (Anthropic) - DOCX/PPTX creation not in ONE_SHOT
- •data-viz (SkillsMP) - Visualization beyond basic charts
- •mcp-generator (Anthropic) - MCP server scaffolding
Already Covered (Skip)
- •git-workflow alternatives → ONE_SHOT git-workflow is better
- •debugging tools → ONE_SHOT debugger is comprehensive
- •planning tools → ONE_SHOT create-plan + beads is superior
API Key (Optional)
SkillsMP premium features may require an API key. To store:
bash
# Decrypt, add key, re-encrypt cd ~/github/oneshot sops secrets/secrets.env.encrypted # Add: SKILLSMP_API_KEY=sk_live_skillsmp_xxx # Save and exit
Then reference in skills as $SKILLSMP_API_KEY.
Anti-Patterns
- •Installing duplicate functionality (ONE_SHOT already covers)
- •Adding heavy skills that inflate context (>500 tokens base)
- •Using skills without understanding their tool requirements
- •Installing untested/unmaintained community skills
