How to Help Users Find Skills

Step 1: Understand What They Need

Identify:

  • The domain (e.g., React, testing, design, deployment)
  • The specific task (e.g., writing tests, creating animations, reviewing PRs)
  • Whether this is a common enough task that a skill likely exists

Step 2: Search for Skills

npx skills find [query]

Examples:

  • "how do I make my React app faster?" → npx skills find react performance
  • "can you help me with PR reviews?" → npx skills find pr review
  • "I need to create a changelog" → npx skills find changelog

Results format:

Install with npx skills add <owner/repo@skill>

vercel-labs/agent-skills@vercel-react-best-practices
└ https://skills.sh/vercel-labs/agent-skills/vercel-react-best-practices

Step 3: Present Options to the User

Include:

  • The skill name and what it does
  • The install command
  • A link to learn more at skills.sh

Example:

I found a skill that might help! The "vercel-react-best-practices" skill provides
React and Next.js performance optimization guidelines from Vercel Engineering.

To install it:
npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills@vercel-react-best-practices

Learn more: https://skills.sh/vercel-labs/agent-skills/vercel-react-best-practices

Step 4: Offer to Install

Install with global flag and auto-confirm:

npx skills add <owner/repo@skill> -g -y

Common Skill Categories

| Category | Example Queries | |----------|----------------| | Web Development | react, nextjs, typescript, css, tailwind | | Testing | testing, jest, playwright, e2e | | DevOps | deploy, docker, kubernetes, ci-cd | | Documentation | docs, readme, changelog, api-docs | | Code Quality | review, lint, refactor, best-practices | | Design | ui, ux, design-system, accessibility | | Productivity | workflow, automation, git |

Tips for Effective Searches

  • Use specific keywords: "react testing" is better than just "testing"
  • Try alternative terms: If "deploy" doesn't work, try "deployment" or "ci-cd"
  • Check popular sources: vercel-labs/agent-skills or ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills

When No Skills Are Found

If no relevant skills exist:

  1. Acknowledge that no existing skill was found
  2. Offer to help with the task directly using general capabilities
  3. Suggest creating a custom skill with npx skills init
I searched for skills related to "xyz" but didn't find any matches.
I can still help you with this task directly! Would you like me to proceed?

If this is something you do often, you could create your own skill:
npx skills init my-xyz-skill
