Find Agent Skills Faster

Users often do not know which agent skill can help with a task. This skill guides discovery, comparison, and installation choices using the Skills CLI and skills.sh.

Supports: Claude Codex Code(CC)

⚠️ 38 Poor

Stop for confirmation before installing.

Review the plan and obtain explicit user consent before changing files.

Install with my Agent

Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.

Agent request

Review the Skillstore skill "find-skills" from https://skillstore.io/skills/vercel-labs-find-skills.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/vercel-labs-find-skills/manifest. Verify the artifact. Stop and obtain explicit user consent before installing or changing files.

Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Agent-readable resources

Use these links when an AI agent, crawler, or script needs clean context instead of reading the full page.

Test it

Using "find-skills". Can you find a skill for improving a Next.js app?

Expected outcome:

A suitable recommendation would include a web performance skill from a reputable source, its install count, why it matches the task, and a link for review.

Using "find-skills". I need help creating changelogs repeatedly.

Expected outcome:

The response should search for changelog or release-note skills, compare useful matches, and offer direct help if no strong skill exists.

Using "find-skills". Should I install this skill?

Expected outcome:

The response should review source reputation, recent project signals, likely permissions, and ask for explicit approval before any installation.

Security Audit

High Risk

v7 • 7/7/2026 Open versioned report

The skill primarily contains legitimate marketplace discovery guidance, and several static hits are Markdown false positives. Real risk remains because the skill instructs agents to run npx-based Skills CLI commands, install third-party skills, and use global installation with skipped confirmation prompts.

Review items

False positives ignored

Confirmed security concerns (1)

High

SKILL.md:96-104

Global Install Skips Confirmation

The skill tells the agent to offer installation with a global install command and says the confirmation flag skips prompts. This can reduce user review before third-party skill content is installed.

The installation section explicitly covers installing for the user and explains global install plus skipped confirmation. The risk is contextual because the static findings do not capture the consent and supply-chain implications.

Capability review items (14)

These are real local capabilities that may be expected for this skill, so they require review but are not counted as confirmed malicious behavior.

High

SKILL.md:100-102

Ruby/shell backtick execution

```bash

The fenced command installs a skill globally and includes an option that skips confirmation prompts. That can bypass an important user safety checkpoint during third-party installation.

High

SKILL.md:102-104

Ruby/shell backtick execution

```

This location is tied to the global install example and its skipped confirmation behavior. The surrounding guidance makes the external command materially riskier than a read-only search.

High

SKILL.md:104

Ruby/shell backtick execution

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

The line explicitly explains that one option installs globally and another skips confirmation prompts. Encouraging this combination increases supply-chain and consent-bypass risk.

Medium

SKILL.md:27

Ruby/shell backtick execution

- `npx skills find [query] [--owner <owner>]` - Search for skills interactively or by keyword, optio

The skill documents an npx command that an agent may run to search skills. Running npx can execute package-manager code and perform network activity, so this is a real external command risk.

Medium

SKILL.md:28

Ruby/shell backtick execution

- `npx skills add <package>` - Install a skill from GitHub or other sources

The line documents installing a skill from GitHub or other sources. That can add third-party content to the user environment, so it is a real supply-chain risk.

Medium

SKILL.md:29

Ruby/shell backtick execution

- `npx skills check` - Check for skill updates

The check command invokes the external Skills CLI and may contact the package ecosystem. The command is legitimate, but it is still external command execution.

Medium

SKILL.md:30

Ruby/shell backtick execution

- `npx skills update` - Update all installed skills

The update command can modify installed skills through the external Skills CLI. That creates a real risk if updates are pulled from compromised or unreviewed sources.

Medium

SKILL.md:56-58

Ruby/shell backtick execution

```bash

The fenced block contains the npx skills find command and the prose tells the agent to run it. This is external command execution, even though it is part of the intended workflow.

Medium

SKILL.md:62-63

Ruby/shell backtick execution

- User asks "how do I make my React app faster?" → `npx skills find react performance`

The line gives an npx skills find command as an example the agent can run for a user request. It is a legitimate use case but still executes an external package-manager CLI.

Medium

SKILL.md:63-64

Ruby/shell backtick execution

- User asks "can you help me with PR reviews?" → `npx skills find pr review`

The line gives an npx skills find command as an example for pull request review requests. This is a real external command recommendation with network and package-manager risk.

Medium

SKILL.md:64-71

Ruby/shell backtick execution

- User asks "I need to create a changelog" → `npx skills find changelog`

The line gives an npx skills find command for changelog searches. The command is benign in intent but still requires executing the external Skills CLI.

Medium

SKILL.md:85-94

Ruby/shell backtick execution

```

The example response includes a Skills CLI install command. Installing a skill introduces third-party code or instructions into the user environment.

Medium

SKILL.md:132-136

Ruby/shell backtick execution

3. Suggest the user could create their own skill with `npx skills init`

The line suggests an npx initialization command for creating a new skill. It may be appropriate, but it still runs the external Skills CLI and can write files.

Medium

SKILL.md:136-142

Ruby/shell backtick execution

```

The example block includes an npx skills init command. This executes external tooling and can create local files, so it is not only Markdown formatting.
