Find Skills

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

Security Assurance

Worker is completely isolated and cannot access any admin's personal sensitive data. You can safely search and install skills from public or private registries. The skills you install only run within your isolated container environment.

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"
  • Says "import xxx skill from market", "install xxx skill from market", or otherwise explicitly asks you to import a skill from the market
  • 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 (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.

Always use this fixed script path for this skill. Do not rely on a relative scripts/ path from your current directory:

FIND_SKILLS_SCRIPT="$HOME/skills/find-skills/scripts/agentteams-find-skill.sh"

Key commands:

  • "${FIND_SKILLS_SCRIPT}" find [query] - Search for relevant skills
  • "${FIND_SKILLS_SCRIPT}" install <skill> - Install a skill
  • skills check - Check for skill updates
  • skills update - Update all installed skills

Browse skills at: https://skills.sh/

Environment Variables

SKILLS_API_URL  # Skills registry API endpoint (default: nacos://market.agentteams.io:80/public)

Can be configured by admin to point to an enterprise-private registry.

How to Help Users Find Skills

Step 1: Understand What They Need

When a user asks for help with something, identify:

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

Step 2: Search for Skills

Run the find command with a relevant query:

"${FIND_SKILLS_SCRIPT}" find [query]

For example:

  • User asks "how do I make my React app faster?" → "${FIND_SKILLS_SCRIPT}" find react performance
  • User asks "can you help me with PR reviews?" → "${FIND_SKILLS_SCRIPT}" find pr review
  • User asks "I need to create a changelog" → "${FIND_SKILLS_SCRIPT}" find changelog

The command will return results like:

Install with /root/skills/find-skills/scripts/agentteams-find-skill.sh install <skill>

vercel-react-best-practices
└ React and Next.js performance guidance

Critical: Always use the exact install command shown in search results. Never guess or shorten the package name or command, because that may fail.

Step 2A: Direct Market Import Requests

If the user already gave you a concrete skill name and asked to import it from the market, you can install it directly with this skill instead of doing a separate search first:

"${FIND_SKILLS_SCRIPT}" install <skill>

For example:

  • User says "import remotion-best-practices skill from market" → "${FIND_SKILLS_SCRIPT}" install remotion-best-practices
  • User says "install github-operations from market" → "${FIND_SKILLS_SCRIPT}" install github-operations

If the provided name looks ambiguous or you are not sure about the exact package name, search first and then copy the exact install command from the results.

Step 3: Present Options to the User

When you find relevant skills, present them to the user with:

  1. The skill name and what it does
  2. The install command they can run (copy exactly from search results)
  3. A link to learn more at skills.sh

Example response:

I found a skill that might help! The "remotion-best-practices" skill provides
best practices for Remotion video creation in React.

To install it:
"${FIND_SKILLS_SCRIPT}" install remotion-best-practices

Step 4: Offer to Install

If the user wants to proceed, you can install the skill for them:

"${FIND_SKILLS_SCRIPT}" install <skill>

Note: Installed skills are automatically synced to MinIO within ~10 seconds. They will persist across container restarts.

Common Skill Categories

When searching, consider these common categories:

CategoryExample Queries
Web Developmentreact, nextjs, typescript, css, tailwind
Testingtesting, jest, playwright, e2e
DevOpsdeploy, docker, kubernetes, ci-cd
Documentationdocs, readme, changelog, api-docs
Code Qualityreview, lint, refactor, best-practices
Designui, ux, design-system, accessibility
Productivityworkflow, automation, git

Tips for Effective Searches

  1. Use specific keywords: "react testing" is better than just "testing"
  2. Try alternative terms: If "deploy" doesn't work, try "deployment" or "ci-cd"
  3. Check popular sources: Many skills come from 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 your general capabilities
  3. Suggest the user could create their own skill with skills init

Example:

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:
skills init my-xyz-skill

Skill Resources

$HOME/skills/find-skills/scripts/agentteams-find-skill.sh is the resource that belongs to this skill. Always invoke that exact path (or the FIND_SKILLS_SCRIPT variable above) instead of scripts/agentteams-find-skill.sh, so your command does not depend on the current directory.
