WHAT This Skill Does
Helps users find and install modular skill packages that extend agent capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools.
WHEN To Use
- •User asks "how do I do X" where X might have an existing skill
- •User says "find a skill for X" or "is there a skill for X"
- •User asks "can you do X" where X is a specialized capability
- •User wants to extend agent capabilities
- •User mentions wishing they had help with a specific domain
KEYWORDS: find skill, search skill, install skill, add skill, npx skills, skills.sh
The Workflow
1. Identify What They Need
Map their request to a search query:
- •Domain: React, testing, design, deployment, etc.
- •Task: writing tests, creating animations, reviewing PRs, etc.
2. Search for Skills
bash
npx skills find [query]
Examples:
| User Request | Search Query |
|---|---|
| "How do I make my React app faster?" | npx skills find react performance |
| "Can you help with PR reviews?" | npx skills find pr review |
| "I need to create a changelog" | npx skills find changelog |
3. Present Results
When results are found:
code
I found a skill that might help! The "[skill-name]" skill provides [brief description]. To install it: npx skills add [owner/repo@skill] Learn more: https://skills.sh/[owner]/[repo]/[skill]
4. Install (If Requested)
bash
npx skills add <owner/repo@skill> -g -y
- •
-g= install globally (user-level) - •
-y= skip confirmation prompts
Common Skill Categories
| Category | Example Queries |
|---|---|
| Web Development | react, nextjs, typescript, tailwind |
| Testing | testing, jest, playwright, e2e |
| DevOps | deploy, docker, kubernetes, ci-cd |
| Documentation | docs, readme, changelog, api-docs |
| Code Quality | review, lint, refactor, best-practices |

When No Skills Found
code
I searched for skills related to "[query]" but didn't find any matches. I can still help with this task directly. Would you like me to proceed? If this is something you do often, you could create your own skill: npx skills init my-skill-name
NEVER
- •Assume a skill exists without searching first
- •Install skills without user confirmation
- •Recommend creating a skill when an existing one would work
- •Search with vague single-word queries (be specific: "react testing" not "testing")
