| description | Use when the user wants to discover, evaluate, and install external agent skills from the open skills ecosystem, especially through the Vercel Skills CLI. |
Find Skills
Overview
Use this skill when the user is asking for a capability that might already exist as an installable skill in the open agent skills ecosystem.
This skill wraps the upstream Vercel-style Skills CLI workflow for NextClaw users.
Be explicit about the boundary:
- This marketplace skill helps the AI search, evaluate, and explain external skills.
- The upstream Skills CLI (
npx skills) owns actual discovery and installation in its supported agent ecosystems.
- NextClaw marketplace is a separate channel and should be checked first when the user specifically wants a NextClaw-native skill.
Do not blur those ecosystems together.
Platform Notes
This discovery flow should be presented as cross-platform.
npx skills ... is a Node/npm-based workflow and is generally suitable for macOS, Linux, and Windows.- On Windows, avoid assuming symlink-friendly behavior.
- If installation method matters on Windows, prefer the upstream
--copy option instead of implying symlinks will always work.
Example Windows-friendly pattern:
npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills --skill frontend-design --copy -y
When To Use This Skill
Use this skill when the user:
- asks "is there a skill for X",
- wants to extend agent capabilities beyond what is already installed,
- asks for a domain workflow that is commonly packaged as a reusable skill,
- wants help exploring
skills.sh,
- or wants to install a skill from the open agent skills ecosystem.
