The skill is the skills/find-skills folder inside that repository. Copy it into the folder your agent loads skills from; check your agent's documentation for where that is.

about Find Skills Skill by @vercel-labs

Search for agent skills interactively or by keyword across repositories.

Interactive fzf-style search across installed skills
Search by keyword across a single repository
Search across every repository owned by an org or user

our take

Teaches an agent how to help a person find an agent skill: understand what they need, check the leaderboard first, search the skills CLI, and verify quality before recommending anything. It is a discovery workflow rather than a skill that does work itself.

when to use it

You ask your agent what skill could do a given job
You want recommendations checked for quality before you install
You use the skills CLI and want a guided search

before you install

Quality checks are only as good as the signals it looks at, so still read a skill before installing
The source repository publishes no license, so we link to it rather than host a copy

# Find Skills

This skill helps you discover and install skills from the open agent skills ecosystem.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user:

- Asks "how do I do X" where X might be a common task with an existing skill
- Says "find a skill for X" or "is there a skill for X"
- Asks "can you do X" where X is a specialized capability
- Expresses interest in extending agent capabilities
- Wants to search for tools, templates, or workflows
- Mentions they wish they had help with a specific domain (design, testing, deployment, etc.)

## What is the Skills CLI?

The Skills CLI (`npx skills`) is the package manager for the open agent skills ecosystem. Skills are modular packages that extend agent capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools.

**Key commands:**

- `npx skills find [query] [--owner <owner>]` - Search for skills interactively or by keyword, optionally scoped to a GitHub owner
