## Skillet User Guide Skillet is an MCP-native skill discovery toolkit. This skill covers using skillet as a consumer: finding and using skills at runtime via MCP prompts. ### Adding Skillet **MCP server (recommended)** -- add to `.mcp.json` or `~/.claude/settings.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "skillet": { "command": "skillet", "args": ["serve"] } } } ``` **Install the binary**: ```bash cargo install skillet-mcp ``` **Docker** (no install needed): ```json { "mcpServers": { "skillet": { "command": "docker", "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "ghcr.io/joshrotenberg/skillet:latest"] } } } ``` ### Searching for Skills **CLI**: ```bash skillet search "rust development" skillet search "*" --category development skillet search "*" --tag pytest skillet search "*" --owner joshrotenberg ``` **MCP tools** (when running as server): - `search_skills(query)` -- full-text BM25 search over skill metadata and content - `list_categories()` -- browse available categories with counts - `list_skills_by_owner(owner)` -- list all skills by a publisher - `info_skill(owner_name)` -- detailed information about a specific skill ### Using Skills Skills are served as MCP prompts. An agent connects to skillet, searches for a relevant skill, and uses it as a prompt for the current session. No files written, no restart needed. ``` 1. search_skills("rust development") 2. Use the skill prompt for joshrotenberg/rust-dev 3. Follow the skill's instructions ``` ### Configuration Skillet is configured via `~/.config/skillet/config.toml` and CLI flags. **Adding custom repos**: ```bash skillet serve --remote https://github.com/org/skills.git ``` **Config file** (`~/.config/skillet/config.toml`): ```toml [repos] remote = ["https://github.com/org/skills.git"] [server] discover_local = false ``` To skip the official repo, use `--no-official-repo`. ### User Preferences If you prefer a specific workflow, tell your agent: - "always inline" -- only use skills via MCP prompts, never write files - If unclear, default to inline use via prompts
