What it does

Skill Discovery is an agent skill from EmeaAppGbb/spec2cloud. Search the skills.sh open ecosystem for community skills relevant to the current task. Install discovered skills into the project. Use before starting any new task, when resolving technology decisions, or when the user asks to find a skill for a specific capability.

Its SKILL.md is about 630 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 Agent Workflows, covering Skill management. It works with Microsoft Azure. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks to find a skill for a specific capability
  • Tasks that involve Skill management

Example prompts

  • “/skill-discovery”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Present the skill name and what it does
  2. Show the install command
  3. Link to the skills.sh page: https://skills.sh///
  4. Ask the user if they want to install it

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8e76618. 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:

    • npx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • skills.sh

    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

Skill Discovery loads about 633 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 226 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~633

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.

description
Search the skills.sh open ecosystem for community skills relevant to the current task. Install discovered skills into the project. Use before starting any new task, when resolving technology decisions, or when the user asks to find a skill for a specific capability.

Skill Discovery

Search skills.sh for community skills before building from scratch.

  • Before starting any task in the Ralph loop (after checking local .github/skills/)
  • During Phase 1d (Tech Stack Resolution) — search for technology-specific skills
  • When the user asks "is there a skill for X?" or "find a skill for X"
  • When you encounter a domain where a community best-practice skill likely exists
bash
npx skills find [query]

Examples:

  • npx skills find react performance — React optimization patterns
  • npx skills find playwright testing — E2E testing best practices
  • npx skills find azure deployment — Azure deployment patterns
  • npx skills find nextjs — Next.js development patterns

How to Install

Install a skill for the project (stored in .github/skills/):

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

Install a skill globally (shared across projects):

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

Presenting Results

When you find relevant skills:

  1. Present the skill name and what it does
  2. Show the install command
  3. Link to the skills.sh page: https://skills.sh/<owner>/<repo>/<skill-name>
  4. Ask the user if they want to install it

Example:

Found: "vercel-react-best-practices" — React and Next.js optimization guidelines from Vercel Engineering.

Install: npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills@vercel-react-best-practices -y
Details: https://skills.sh/vercel-labs/agent-skills/vercel-react-best-practices
