## Capabilities

- Identifies the domain and specific task behind a skill request.
- Builds focused keyword queries for the Skills CLI.
- Runs Skills CLI searches and interprets the returned matches.
- Presents skill names, purposes, installation details, and skills.sh links.
- Offers installation after the user chooses a result.
- Suggests direct assistance or skill creation when no match exists.

## Use Cases

- Find Framework Guidance: Search for a focused skill that improves React or Next.js performance work.
- Standardize Code Reviews: Discover review skills that support consistent pull request checks across a team.
- Extend Agent Workflows: Compare available skills for documentation, testing, deployment, or other recurring tasks.

## Prompt Templates

### Find One Skill

```
Find a skill that helps with React performance. Show the best match and explain its purpose. Do not install it.
```

### Compare Skill Options

```
Search for pull request review skills. Compare up to three relevant options by focus, source, and expected workflow. Do not install anything.
```

### Search Across Related Terms

```
Find skills for end-to-end web testing. Try Playwright, browser testing, and e2e terms. Explain which result best fits a TypeScript project.
```

### Evaluate Before Installation

```
Find a deployment skill for Kubernetes. Review the source and skill contents for security concerns, summarize permissions, then ask before any installation.
```

## Limitations

- Search quality depends on the selected keywords and current marketplace index.
- The workflow does not verify a skill source, contents, or security before installation.
- Skills CLI and skills.sh availability affect discovery results.
- Global installation changes persistent user-level agent configuration.

## Best Practices

- Use specific task and technology keywords in each search.
- Compare multiple results and review their source contents before installation.
- Require explicit user approval immediately before any persistent installation.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not install the first search result without checking its source and scope.
- Do not use confirmation-bypass flags for third-party installations.
- Do not treat marketplace availability as proof of security or quality.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-08-21T08:33:56.501\+00:00
- Summary: Most static alerts are false positives caused by Markdown backticks and public documentation links. The skill intentionally runs the Skills CLI and can globally install an unverified third-party skill while bypassing confirmation. Source review and explicit installation approval are required.
