## Capabilities

- Extracts a task goal, optional constraints, keywords, and desired result count from a user request.
- Runs the bundled discovery script from the skill directory.
- Submits discovery inputs to the SkillRadar API over HTTPS.
- Returns candidate skills with names, descriptions, scores, match reasons, and install URLs.
- Limits requested results to a range from 1 to 20.
- Provides installation path guidance for multiple agent tools.

## Use Cases

- Locate a Missing Workflow Skill: Find a small set of candidate skills when existing local skills do not cover the requested task.
- Compare Marketplace Candidates: Review candidate names, descriptions, scores, and match reasons before choosing a skill to inspect.
- Prepare a Controlled Installation: Use the returned install URL and path guidance to plan a project-level skill installation.

## Prompt Templates

### Find a Basic Skill

```
Find skills that can help me summarize long meeting notes into action items. Use simple keywords and return the best candidates.
```

### Search With Constraints

```
Find candidate skills for extracting tables from PDFs. The skill must support CSV output and should work with local files.
```

### Compare Candidate Quality

```
Search for skills that audit Terraform files. Compare the top five results and explain which candidates look most relevant.
```

### Plan a Safe Install

```
Find skills for image cleanup, then recommend only project-level installation steps. Highlight any network or package trust risks before installing.
```

## Limitations

- Requires network access to the SkillRadar service.
- Sends task details and keywords to an external API.
- Does not verify the safety or quality of returned skills.
- Installation guidance still requires user review and permission.

## Best Practices

- Use concise task goals, specific constraints, and three to ten relevant keywords.
- Review candidate descriptions and match reasons before choosing a skill.
- Prefer project-level installation unless the user explicitly approves a global install.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not send private project details to discovery services without user consent.
- Do not install a returned ZIP package without reviewing its source and contents.
- Do not force a weak candidate when the results do not match the task.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-08T17:12:57.019\+00:00
- Summary: The review confirms real network use, local script execution, hidden skill directory installation guidance, and a remote ZIP installation workflow. Many Markdown backtick and entropy findings are false positives, but the remaining issues create privacy and supply-chain risk. No prompt injection attempt was found in the reviewed files.
