Find Skills (Windows Version)
Helps users discover and install agent skills from the open ecosystem when they need new capabilities.
When to Use
Activate this skill when users:
- Ask "how do I do X" or "can you do X" for specialized tasks
- Request "find a skill for X"

| 网页开发 | web development |
| 测试 | testing |
| 部署 | deploy |

3. Present Results
For each result, provide:
4. Install if Requested
npx skills add <owner/repo@skill> -g -y
