# Find and Install Agent Skills

Finding reusable agent skills across a registry can take time. This skill searches prompts.chat, retrieves selected packages, and installs their files for Claude.

## Install

```bash
npx skillstore add f/skill-lookup

## Capabilities

- Search the prompts.chat skill registry with user-provided keywords.
- Filter searches by category or tag and return up to 50 results.
- Present titles, descriptions, authors, file lists, categories, tags, and links.
- Retrieve skill metadata and every packaged file by skill ID.
- Install retrieved files under .claude/skills and verify the SKILL.md frontmatter.

## Use Cases

- Add a Claude capability: Find and install a focused skill for a recurring Claude workflow.
- Review available extensions: Compare authors, categories, tags, and package files before approving an internal skill.
- Research reusable patterns: Retrieve existing skills to study their instructions, references, scripts, and configuration.

## Prompt Templates

### Find a skill

```
Search prompts.chat for skills that help with [task]. Show the five most relevant results with descriptions and authors.
```

### Search with filters

```
Find up to [limit] skills for [task] in category [category] with tag [tag]. Include file counts and links.
```

### Compare candidates

```
Search for [task], compare the top three skills by purpose, author, tags, and included files, then recommend one.
```

### Retrieve and install safely

```
Retrieve skill [skill ID]. Show its full file manifest and review the contents before asking me to confirm installation.
```

## Limitations

- The prompts.chat search\_skills and get\_skill MCP tools must be configured.
- Search results are limited to skills available in the prompts.chat registry.
- The documented installation target is .claude/skills, not a Codex skill directory.
- The workflow does not require package trust checks, filename validation, or integrity verification.

## Best Practices

- Use specific task terms and relevant category or tag filters.
- Compare the author, description, and complete file list before selecting a skill.
- Inspect retrieved instructions, scripts, and paths before confirming installation.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not install the first result without reviewing its source and files.
- Do not assume the required prompts.chat MCP tools are already configured.
- Do not treat a registry listing as proof that a package is secure.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-23T17:36:13.797\+00:00
- Summary: All 18 static detections are false positives caused by Markdown backticks around tool names, paths, parameters, and examples. The installation workflow still presents supply-chain and path traversal risks because it copies retrieved files without content review, integrity verification, or path validation.
