This skill should be used when the user is looking for functionality that might exist as an installable skill. +--- + +# Find Skills + +This skill helps you discover and install skills from the open agent skills ecosystem. + +## When to Use This Skill + +Use this skill 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 +- Expresses interest in extending agent capabilities +- Wants to search for tools, templates, or workflows +- Mentions they wish they had help with a specific domain (design, testing, deployment, etc.) + +## What is the Skills CLI? + +The Skills CLI (`npx skills`) is the package manager for the open agent skills ecosystem. Skills are modular packages that extend agent capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools. + +**Key commands:** + +- `npx skills find [query]` - Search for skills interactively or by keyword +- `npx skills add ` - Install a skill from GitHub or other sources +- `npx skills check` - Check for skill updates +- `npx skills update` - Update all installed skills + +**Browse skills at:** https://skills.sh/ + +## How to Help Users Find Skills + +### Step 1: Understand What They Need + +When a user asks for help with something, identify: + +1. The domain (e.g., React, testing, design, deployment) +2. The specific task (e.g., writing tests, creating animations, reviewing PRs) +3. Whether this is a common enough task that a skill likely exists + +### Step 2: Search for Skills + +Run the find command with a relevant query: + +```bash +npx skills find [query] +``` + +For example: + +- User asks "how do I make my React app faster?" → `npx skills find react performance` +- User asks "can you help me with PR reviews?" → `npx skills find pr review` +- User asks "I need to create a changelog" → `npx skills find changelog` + +The command will return results like: + +``` +Install with npx skills add + +vercel-labs/agent-skills@vercel-react-best-practices +└ https://skills.sh/vercel-labs/agent-skills/vercel-react-best-practices +``` + +### Step 3: Present Options to the User + +When you find relevant skills, present them to the user with: + +1. The skill name and what it does +2. The install command they can run +3. A link to learn more at skills.sh + +Example response: + +``` +I found a skill that might help! The "vercel-react-best-practices" skill provides +React and Next.js performance optimization guidelines from Vercel Engineering. + +To install it: +npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills@vercel-react-best-practices + +Learn more: https://skills.sh/vercel-labs/agent-skills/vercel-react-best-practices +``` + +### Step 4: Offer to Install + +If the user wants to proceed, you can install the skill for them: + +```bash +npx skills add -g -y +``` + +The `-g` flag installs globally (user-level) and `-y` skips confirmation prompts. + +## Common Skill Categories + +When searching, consider these common categories: + +| Category | Example Queries | +| --------------- | ---------------------------------------- | +| Web Development | react, nextjs, typescript, css, tailwind | +| Testing | testing, jest, playwright, e2e | +| DevOps | deploy, docker, kubernetes, ci-cd | +| Documentation | docs, readme, changelog, api-docs | +| Code Quality | review, lint, refactor, best-practices | +| Design | ui, ux, design-system, accessibility | +| Productivity | workflow, automation, git | + +## Tips for Effective Searches + +1. **Use specific keywords**: "react testing" is better than just "testing" +2. **Try alternative terms**: If "deploy" doesn't work, try "deployment" or "ci-cd" +3. **Check popular sources**: Many skills come from `vercel-labs/agent-skills` or `ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills` + +## When No Skills Are Found + +If no relevant skills exist: + +1. Acknowledge that no existing skill was found +2. Offer to help with the task directly using your general capabilities +3. Suggest the user could create their own skill with `npx skills init` + +Example: + +``` +I searched for skills related to "xyz" but didn't find any matches. +I can still help you with this task directly! Would you like me to proceed? + +If this is something you do often, you could create your own skill: +npx skills init my-xyz-skill +``` diff --git a/.codex/skills b/.codex/skills new file mode 120000 index 00000000..454b8427 --- /dev/null +++ b/.codex/skills @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +../.claude/skills \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/.gemini/skills b/.gemini/skills new file mode 120000 index 00000000..454b8427 --- /dev/null +++ b/.gemini/skills @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +../.claude/skills \ No newline at end of file
