What it does
Search Skills is an agent skill from danielvm-git/bigpowers. Find the right bigpowers skill from natural-language intent using a local lexical index over SKILL.md frontmatter. Use when unsure which skill to invoke, or at start of research-first.
Its SKILL.md is about 820 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in AI & LLM Engineering. The repository describes itself as: Agent skills synthesizing years of software engineering discipline into a prescriptive methodology for solo developers. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Unsure which skill to invoke
- At start of research-first
Example prompts
- “/search-skills”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Refresh index if stale — Run bash scripts/build-skill-index.sh if specs/SKILL-SEARCH-INDEX_LATEST.md doesn't exist or was modified before…
- Search the index — Use ripgrep on the lexical index
- Rank results — Read the top 3 matches. Evaluate by
- Recommend one skill — Select the single best-matching skill. Provide
- Invoke — Call the skill directly or through the orchestrator. If no match found, suggest the closest phase-appropriate skill or…
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 812d57a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
bashrg
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Search Skills loads about 820 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 373 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Search Skills
HARD GATE — Search results must be ranked by relevance. Do NOT return all matches without prioritization. Use skill metadata (phase, purpose, frequency) to rank.
HARD GATE — Do NOT use external embedding APIs or AI-based semantic search. This is a lexical-only index (ADR: zero external dependency).
Lexical search only — no embedding service (ADR: zero external dependency). The index is a flat markdown file (specs/SKILL-SEARCH-INDEX_LATEST.md) built from every SKILL.md's YAML frontmatter — name, description, and key phrases. No vector DB, no API calls, no network dependency.
When to use
- You're unsure which skill to invoke for a user's request
- At the start of
research-firstto find pre-existing skills that might solve the problem - When a user asks "is there a skill for X?"
- Before calling a skill by name, to confirm it's the right one
Pre-flight
- Does
specs/SKILL-SEARCH-INDEX_LATEST.mdexist? If not, runbash scripts/build-skill-index.sh. - Is the index fresh? Check its timestamp — if > 24 hours old or after any SKILL.md change, regenerate.
Process
Refresh index if stale — Run
bash scripts/build-skill-index.shifspecs/SKILL-SEARCH-INDEX_LATEST.mddoesn't exist or was modified before the last SKILL.md change.Search the index — Use ripgrep on the lexical index:
rg -i "<keywords>" specs/SKILL-SEARCH-INDEX_LATEST.mdThe index contains each skill's name, description, phase, and key use-case phrases, so natural language queries work well even without embeddings.
Rank results — Read the top 3 matches. Evaluate by:
- Exactness — Does the description literally match the user's intent?
- Phase fit — Is the skill designed for the current lifecycle phase?
- Trigger phrases — Does the skill's "Use when" section match the situation?
Recommend one skill — Select the single best-matching skill. Provide:
- The skill name
- Why it's the best match (citing the description or trigger phrase)
- What it produces (artifact, dialogue, or state change)
Invoke — Call the skill directly or through the orchestrator. If no match found, suggest the closest phase-appropriate skill or
using-bigpowersas a general entry point.

Index Format
specs/SKILL-SEARCH-INDEX_LATEST.md contains one section per skill:
## <skill-name>
- **Description:** <from frontmatter>
- **Phase:** <lifecycle phase>
- **Triggers:** <key phrases from description>
- **Keywords:** <extracted terms>Why Not Semantic Search?
- Zero network dependency — works fully offline
- Zero cost — no API keys, no usage limits
- Instant — ripgrep on a local file is sub-second
- Deterministic — same query always returns same results
- Auditable — you can read the full index
