Find the Right Skill

Search by need, not just name. Evaluate quality before recommending.

References:

• search.md — search strategies and commands
• evaluate.md — quality evaluation criteria
• criteria.md — when to update preference memory

Related skills:

• skill-manager — manages installed, suggests proactively
• skill-builder — creates new skills

---

Scope

This skill ONLY:

• Searches ClawHub via npx clawhub search command
• Evaluates skills from search results
• Stores user preferences in ~/skill-finder/memory.md

This skill NEVER:

• Reads files outside ~/skill-finder/
• Observes or infers preferences from user behavior
• Installs skills automatically

---

Security Note

This skill uses npx clawhub search which queries the ClawHub registry. This is a read-only operation that does not download or execute skill code. Skill installation requires separate user consent.

---

When to Use

User explicitly asks to find a skill:

• "Is there a skill for X?"
• "Find me something that does Y"
• "What skills exist for Z?"

Workflow

1. Search — npx clawhub search "query"
2. Evaluate — Apply criteria from evaluate.md
3. Compare — If multiple match, rank by fit
4. Recommend — Present top 1-3 with reasoning

---
