| description | Use when the user wants to browse, discover, or install third-party Claude Code agent skills focused on Israel (tax/accounting, government services, healthcare pharmacies, rail, cinema, post tracking, legal research, security compliance, communication, etc.) — skills authored by people other than Daniel, indexed here for easy installation alongside this plugin. Reads a curated list from `data/third-party-skills.yaml` (monorepo skill collections from github.com/skills-il plus standalone skill repos), shows each entry with its source repo / subpath / blurb, confirms the user's selection, and installs the chosen skill(s) into `~/.claude/skills/<name>/` via `git clone` or sparse-checkout. Does not install anything without explicit confirmation. Also surfaces the awesome-list reference (alexpolonsky/awesome-agent-skills-israel) for broader discovery. Trigger phrases - "what other israel skills are there", "install israeli agent skills", "find me a skill for [israel rail / clalit / maccabi pharmacy / cinema / israel post / tax / accounting]", "discover israel skills", "browse israel agent skills", "third-party israel skills". |
Discover Israel Agent Skills
Curated index of third-party Claude Code agent skills for life in Israel, with one-command install. The list lives in data/third-party-skills.yaml and is the authoritative source — do not enumerate entries in the README; direct users to invoke this skill.
What's indexed
Three shapes of upstream source:
- Monorepo collections —
github.com/skills-il/* organises several skills per repo, one per subfolder (each with its own SKILL.md). Install the specific subfolder, not the whole repo.
- Standalone skill repos — one skill per repo,
SKILL.md at the top level (or under a stated subpath).
- Awesome list —
alexpolonsky/awesome-agent-skills-israel is a human-readable index only; point the user there for browsing beyond the curated shortlist.
Projects that are not Claude Code skills (e.g. full web apps like shneorAziza/MyLaw) are intentionally excluded even if the user named them — mention that when asked.
Procedure
- Read
data/third-party-skills.yaml.
- Group the entries by
category and show a numbered menu — one line per skill: <name> — <blurb> (<owner>/<repo>[/<subpath>]).
- For each entry, check whether it's already installed:
test -d "$HOME/.claude/skills/<install_name>" && echo installed || echo missing
- Ask which to install (
all, none, or a comma-separated list of names).
- For each selected entry:
- Standalone repo, whole repo:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>.git "$HOME/.claude/skills/<install_name>"
- Monorepo subpath (sparse):
tmp=$(mktemp -d)
git clone --depth 1 --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>.git "$tmp"
git -C "$tmp" sparse-checkout set <subpath>
mv "$tmp/<subpath>" "$HOME/.claude/skills/<install_name>"
rm -rf "$tmp"
- Verify the installed folder contains a
SKILL.md; if not, warn the user and leave the folder in place for inspection.
- Remind the user to restart Claude Code (or reload skills) so the new skill is picked up.
What this skill does NOT do
- Install without explicit user confirmation.
- Uninstall, update, or upgrade existing skills (point users at
rm -rf ~/.claude/skills/<name> + re-install if they ask).
- Install skills with
package.json scripts that require npm install — flag those and let the user run npm themselves; they may have their own Node environment preferences.
- Vouch for the quality or safety of third-party skills. Surface the repo URL so the user can audit before running.
- Add repos to the list automatically. Maintainers add entries to the YAML after reviewing the upstream.
Safety
Third-party skill folders can contain executable scripts invoked by the agent. Before running an install, show the user the repo URL and a one-line blurb; encourage them to open the repo in a browser first if they don't recognise the author. Never auto-run post-install setup scripts.
Extending the list
Edit data/third-party-skills.yaml. Each entry needs:
install_name — the target folder name under ~/.claude/skills/ (kebab-case).owner, repo — GitHub coordinates.subpath (optional) — set for monorepo entries.category — one of Tax & Finance, Accounting, Government, Healthcare, Transport, Post & Logistics, Media & Entertainment, Legal & Compliance, Communication, Other.blurb — one line, plain English.upstream_url — canonical URL for audit.
Verify the upstream skill actually has a SKILL.md (or SKILL_HE.md) before adding.
