| description | Search for reusable skills across OpenSpace's local registry and cloud community. Reusing proven skills saves tokens, improves reliability, and extends your capabilities beyond built-in tools. |
Skill Discovery
Discover and browse skills from OpenSpace's local and cloud skill library.
When to use
- User asks "what skills are available?" or "is there a skill for X?"
- You encounter an unfamiliar task — a proven skill can save significant tokens over trial-and-error
- You need to decide: handle a task yourself, or delegate to OpenSpace
- Repo context and skill search still leave a third-party API or library question unresolved — use host-side docs such as Context7 before you guess or delegate
- Repo context and skill search still leave a broader live web question unresolved — use host-side web research such as Exa before you guess or delegate
search_skills
search_skills(query="automated deployment with rollback", source="all")
| Parameter | Required | Default | Description |
|---|
query | yes | — | Natural language or keywords |
source | no | "all" | Local + cloud; falls back to local-only if no API key |
limit | no | 20 | Max results |
auto_import | no | true | Auto-download top cloud hits locally |
After search
Results are returned to you (not executed). Cloud hits with auto_imported: true include a local_path.
Found a matching skill?
├── YES, and I can follow it myself
│ → read SKILL.md at local_path, follow the instructions
├── YES, but I lack the capability
│ → delegate via execute_task (see delegate-task skill)
└── NO match
├── Need current third-party docs?
│ → use Context7 or an equivalent host-side docs MCP first
├── Need broader live web evidence?
│ → use Exa or an equivalent host-side web research MCP first
└── Otherwise
→ handle it yourself, or delegate via execute_task
Notes
- This is for discovery — you see results and decide. For direct execution, use
execute_task from the delegate-task skill.
- Cloud skills have been evolved through real use — more reliable than skills written from scratch.
- Search local repo evidence and OpenSpace skills before using Context7 or Exa. Use Context7 when the missing piece is current external API or library behavior. Use Exa when the missing piece is broader live web search or page content.
- Always tell the user what you found (or didn't find) and what you recommend.
