Unified Find Skills

Find Skills

This skill helps you discover and install skills from three registries: skills.sh - The original open agent skills ecosystem clawhub.com - Vector-based skill search with simple slugs (requires clawhub CLI) tessl.io - Registry with versioned skills and tiles

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.)

Search Available Registries

Search all available registries. If clawhub CLI is not installed, skip that registry.

Step 1: Understand What They Need

When a user asks for help with something, 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 Available Registries

Check which CLIs are available and search in parallel: # skills.sh (always available via npx) npx skills find [query] --limit 5 # clawhub (only if installed) if command -v clawhub &> /dev/null; then clawhub search "[query]" --limit 5 fi # tessl.io (via web scraping) curl -s "https://tessl.io/registry/discover?contentType=skills" | grep -o 'name:"[^"]*"' | head -10 For example: User asks "how do I make my React app faster?" → search available registries for "react performance" User asks "can you help me with PR reviews?" → search available registries for "pr review" User asks "I need to create a changelog" → search available registries for "changelog" Note on clawhub: Requires clawhub CLI installed. Install with npm install -g clawhub if not available. Note on tessl.io: The tessl registry doesn't have a simple CLI search command. You can: Browse at https://tessl.io/registry/discover?contentType=skills Extract skill names from the page using curl + grep Use tessl skill search [query] (interactive mode only)

Step 3: Present Options to the User

• When you find relevant skills, present them organized by registry with:
• For skills.sh results:
• The skill name and what it does
• The install command they can run
• A link to learn more at skills.sh
• For clawhub results:
• The skill slug and version
• Description if available
• The install command they can run
• For tessl.io results:
• The skill name
• Description if available (from the registry page)
• The install command they can run
• Example response:
• I found some skills that might help!
• **From skills.sh:**
• "vercel-react-best-practices" - React and Next.js performance optimization guidelines from Vercel Engineering
• Install: npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills@vercel-react-best-practices
• Learn more: https://skills.sh/vercel-labs/agent-skills/vercel-react-best-practices
• **From clawhub:**
• "react-expert v0.1.0" - React Expert
• Install: clawhub install react-expert
• **From tessl.io:**
• "react-doctor" - Diagnose and fix React codebase health issues
• Browse: https://tessl.io/registry/discover?contentType=skills
• Install: tessl install <skill-name> (requires tessl CLI)

Step 4: Offer to Install

If the user wants to proceed with a skill: For skills.sh skills: npx skills add <owner/repo@skill> -g -y The -g flag installs globally (user-level) and -y skips confirmation prompts. For clawhub skills: clawhub install <slug> Optionally specify version: clawhub install <slug> --version <version> For tessl.io skills: tessl install <skill-name> Install from GitHub: tessl install github:user/repo

Tips for Effective Searches

Search all available registries - Each has unique skills 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: Many skills.sh skills come from vercel-labs/agent-skills or ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills For tessl.io: Browse the web interface since CLI search is interactive-only For clawhub: Install CLI first with npm install -g clawhub if not available

When No Skills Are Found

• If no relevant skills exist in any available registry:
• Acknowledge that no existing skill was found
• Offer to help with the task directly using your general capabilities
• Suggest the user could create their own skill
• Example:
• I searched all available registries 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:
• With skills.sh: npx skills init my-xyz-skill
• With tessl.io: tessl skill new --name "My X Skill" --description "..."

Installing Missing CLIs

If a user wants to use clawhub but doesn't have it installed: npm install -g clawhub For tessl.io: npm install -g tessl
