find-skills: a Claude Code skill by Vercel Labs

Official

For Claude Code users who want help finding and installing a skill for a task. Skip it if you already know which skill you need or never add third-party skills.

Before you install: It installs skills with the -y flag, which skips the CLI's own confirmation prompt, though only after the user says yes in chat.

What does find-skills do?

find-skills is a Claude skill that helps you search the open agent skills catalog when you ask whether a skill exists for some job. Claude first works out the domain and task, checks the skills.sh leaderboard, then runs npx skills find with keywords. Before suggesting anything it checks install counts, the source's standing and the repo's GitHub stars. Each match comes with its install count, source, an npx skills add command and a skills.sh link. If you agree, it installs the skill globally with -g -y. When nothing fits, it offers to do the task directly or to start your own skill with npx skills init.

When should you use find-skills?

Use it when

  • You suspect a ready-made skill exists for your task
  • You want install counts and sources before adding a skill
  • You want to start your own skill with npx skills init

Skip it when

  • You already know the exact skill to install
  • Your team does not allow outside skills

What it needs and what it can touch

What it can do

  • Runs shell commands (npx skills find, add, update)
  • Installs skills globally on your machine when you agree
  • Reads the skills.sh website
