Find Skills

Discover and install skills from this repository and the broader ecosystem.

When to Use

Activate when the user:

• Asks "how do I do X" where X might be a common task with an existing skill
• Says "find a skill for X" or "is there a skill for X"
• Asks "can you do X" where X is a specialized capability
• Wants to search for tools, templates, or workflows
• Mentions they wish they had help with a specific domain

Step 2: Search the Broader Ecosystem

If no skill in this repo matches, search the open ecosystem using the Skills CLI:

npx skills find [query]

Examples:

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

Browse all skills at: https://skills.sh/

Step 3: Verify Quality Before Recommending

Do not recommend a skill based solely on search results. Always verify:

1. Install count — Prefer skills with 1K+ installs. Be cautious under 100.
2. Source reputation — Official sources (vercel-labs, anthropics, supabase, mongodb) are more trustworthy than unknown authors.
3. GitHub stars — Skills from repos with <100 stars should be treated with skepticism.
4. Security — Use skill-security-audit to scan any skill from an untrusted source before installing.

Step 4: Install

# From this repo
npx skills add BuilderCed/agent-skills --skill [skill-name]

# From another repo
npx skills add [owner/repo] --skill [skill-name]

# Global install (user-level)
npx skills add [source] --skill [name] -g -y

# Check for updates
npx skills check

# Update all
npx skills update

Step 5: When No Skill Exists

If no relevant skill exists anywhere:

1. Acknowledge that no existing skill was found
2. Offer to help with the task directly using general capabilities
3. Suggest creating a custom skill: npx skills init my-skill-name

What This Skill Does NOT Do

• Does not install skills automatically without user confirmation
• Does not recommend skills it hasn't verified for quality
• Does not replace domain expertise (skills are guidance, not guarantees)
