Find Skills

Overview

Searches the open agent skills ecosystem and installs matching skills via the Skills CLI (

pnpm dlx skills

). Includes an enrichment script that fetches descriptions from skills.sh for each result, giving users context beyond raw skill names.

When to use: User asks for help with a domain that might have existing skills, wants to browse available skills, or asks to extend agent capabilities.

When NOT to use: User already knows the exact skill and install command, or the task has nothing to do with skill discovery.

Common Mistakes

Mistake	Correct Pattern
Using `npx skills`	Use `pnpm dlx skills` for consistent package management
Forgetting `-y` on install	Add `-y` to skip interactive confirmation prompts
Vague search terms like "help"	Use specific keywords: "react testing", "pr review"
Not checking skills.sh first	Browse `https://skills.sh/` for curated listings
Installing without reviewing	Check the skill page on skills.sh before installing
Installing without `-a claude-code`	Always specify agent: `-a claude-code` (or target agent)
Using `owner/repo` for private repos	Use SSH URL: `git@github.com:Org/repo.git`
Running enrichment without Node.js	Script requires Node.js with `https` module (built-in)

Delegation

Skill search execution: Run
```
pnpm dlx skills find
```
or the enrichment script directly
Skill installation: Run
```
pnpm dlx skills add
```
after user confirms
Detailed skill info: Browse the skill page on skills.sh before recommending

If the
skill-management
skill is available, delegate skill creation, auditing, and validation to it. Otherwise, recommend:
pnpm dlx skills add oakoss/agent-skills -s skill-management -a claude-code -y

If no matching skill is found, offer to help directly and suggest

pnpm dlx skills init

to create a custom skill.
