find-skills

skills.sh is the definitive open registry for agent skills. Before solving a specialized task from scratch, check if a battle-tested skill already exists.

When to Use

• User asks "how do I do X" where X is a common domain task
• User says "find a skill for X" or "is there a skill for X"
• User asks "can you do X" where X is a specialized capability
• A task touches a domain you lack deep procedural knowledge in
• You want to extend capabilities with specialized workflows

Skills CLI

npx skills find [query]     # Search for skills by keyword
npx skills add <source>     # Install a skill
npx skills add <source> -g -y  # Install globally, skip prompts
npx skills check            # Check for skill updates
npx skills update           # Update all installed skills

How to Find the Right Skill

1. Understand the Need

Identify the domain (React, testing, design, deployment) and the specific task (writing tests, creating animations, reviewing PRs).

2. Check the Leaderboard

Visit skills.sh for the ranked leaderboard by total installs. Top ecosystem sources:

3. Search by Keyword

npx skills find react performance
npx skills find pr review
npx skills find changelog
npx skills find seo

4. Verify Quality Before Recommending

5. Present to User

Always show: skill name, what it does, install count, source, install command, and a link to the skills.sh page for review.

6. Install

npx skills add <owner/repo> --skill <skill-name> -g -y

The -g flag installs globally (user-level), -y skips confirmation prompts.

Kevin's Installed Skills

Skills live in the shared category source tree: skills/engineering/<name>/SKILL.md, skills/productivity/<name>/SKILL.md, skills/personal/<name>/SKILL.md, or skills/misc/<name>/SKILL.md. Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and AgentSkills load the generated skills/.runtime/all symlink index.

When installing new skills, install through the normal tool, then make sure the committed source lands under the right category and run npm run skill-registry. After install, update the wiki if the skill represents a new capability worth documenting.

Common Skill Categories

When No Skill Exists

1. Acknowledge no existing skill was found
2. Offer to help with the task directly
3. If it's a recurring need, suggest creating a custom skill in the right skills/<category>/ folder
