name	find-skills
description	Search the agent skills ecosystem to discover and install skills that extend AI coding agent capabilities. Use when user asks "how do I do X" (X being a common task), "find a skill for X", "is there a skill that can...", or expresses interest in extending agent capabilities. Triggers on "find a skill", "install a skill", "skill for [task]", "can you do X", "I need help with [domain]", "how do I [task]". Do NOT use when user has explicitly asked to proceed without a skill, or when the task is better handled by agent's built-in capabilities (file operations, git, basic coding).

What is the Skills CLI?

The Skills CLI (npx skills) is the package manager for agent skills:

• npx skills find [query] - Search for skills
• npx skills add <package> - Install from GitHub
• npx skills check - Check for updates
• npx skills init [name] - Scaffold a new skill

Browse at: https://skills.sh/

Workflow

Step 1: Understand what they need

Identify: domain (React, testing, DevOps) → specific task (writing tests, creating animations) → likelihood a skill exists.

Step 2: Check the leaderboard first

Before running CLI: check https://skills.sh/ for well-known skills.

Top sources:

• vercel-labs/agent-skills — React, Next.js, web design (100K+ installs)
• anthropics/skills — Frontend design, document processing (100K+ installs)
• zencoderai/skills — OSS security, git gate (50K+ installs)

Step 3: Search

npx skills find [query]

Examples:

• "how do I make my React app faster" → npx skills find react performance
• "help with PR reviews" → npx skills find pr review
• "create a changelog" → npx skills find changelog

Step 4: Verify quality

• Install count: Prefer 1K+. Be cautious under 100.
• Source reputation: Official sources (vercel-labs, anthropics, microsoft) over unknown authors.
• GitHub stars: Source repo < 100 stars → treat with skepticism.

Step 5: Present options

Include: skill name, what it does, install count, source, install command.
