At a glance

Find new skills on GitHub or check a specific skill before installing.

  • Works in 2 steps: Dispatch on argument shape → Present results per mode
  • The user wants to search for skills
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Prerequisites, Instructions and Output, plus 3 more sections
  • Calls bash; reaches github.com; needs GITHUB_TOKEN

What it does

Janitor Discover is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Find new skills on GitHub or check a specific skill before installing. Use when the user wants to search for skills, evaluate a skill URL, check overlap with existing skills before installing, or compare a local skill against alternatives. Trigger with '/janitor-discover'.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code. Requires bash 3.2+, curl, and network access to the GitHub API (anonymous works; GITHUBTOKEN raises rate limits).

It sits in Productivity & Automation. It works with GitHub and n8n. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to search for skills
  • Evaluate a skill URL
  • Check overlap with existing skills before installing
  • Compare a local skill against alternatives

Example prompts

  • “/janitor-discover”
  • “/janitor-discover”

Requirements

  • A credential in GITHUB_TOKEN
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code. Requires bash 3.2+, curl, and network access to the GitHub API (anonymous works; GITHUB_TOKEN raises rate limits).
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash(bash:*)

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Dispatch on argument shape
  2. Present results per mode

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Bash(bash:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash

    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:

    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • GITHUB_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code. Requires bash 3.2+, curl, and network access to the GitHub API (anonymous works; GITHUB_TOKEN raises rate limits).

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Janitor Discover loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 467 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

Skill Discovery & Pre-Install Check

Combined entry point for finding skills on GitHub and for evaluating a specific skill (URL or local path) before installing it.

Overview

Replaces the v1.2 split between /janitor-search and /janitor-precheck. The dispatcher picks the right mode from the argument shape. Search results are relevance-gated (a repo must carry a skill signal in its name/description/topics) and ranked by relevance before stars, so generic mega-repos don't crowd out actual skills.

ArgumentModeWhat runs
Keyword(s) like seo or n8n workflowsDiscoverysearch.sh — find matching skills on GitHub
--compare <skill-name>Comparisonsearch.sh --compare — find alternatives to a local skill
Full URL: https://github.com/user/skillPre-install checkprecheck.sh — analyze before installing
Short repo: user/skillPre-install checkprecheck.sh (auto-expanded to URL)
Local path: ~/path/to/skillPre-install checkprecheck.sh (local folder)

Prerequisites

  • Claude Code with the skills-janitor plugin installed (provides scripts/discover.sh, search.sh, precheck.sh, compare.sh)
  • bash 3.2+ and curl
  • Network access to api.github.com (anonymous OK; set GITHUB_TOKEN for higher rate limits and code search)

Instructions

Step 1: Dispatch on argument shape
bash
bash ~/.claude/skills/skills-janitor/scripts/discover.sh <query-or-url> [options]

Examples:

  • discover.sh seo — search for SEO-related skills
  • discover.sh n8n --limit 20 — top 20 n8n skills
  • discover.sh --compare marketing-seo-audit — alternatives to a local skill
  • discover.sh https://github.com/user/my-skill — check before installing
  • discover.sh user/my-skill — same, short form
Step 2: Present results per mode

Discovery mode — ranked list of GitHub repos with skill name, description, stars, last updated, and a one-line verdict.

Pre-install mode — overlap analysis: which of the user's existing skills (including plugin skills) overlap with the candidate by description, and a recommendation to install / skip / replace.

Output

Discovery: a numbered table (repository, stars, updated, INSTALLED/AVAILABLE status). Pre-install: overlap buckets (HIGH ≥60%, MODERATE 30–59%, LOW <30%) with shared keywords and a final verdict line (HIGH_OVERLAP / MODERATE_OVERLAP / SAFE).

Error Handling

  1. Error: GitHub API rate limit exceeded Solution: Set the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable (any classic token, no scopes needed) and re-run; anonymous search allows only a few requests per minute.

  2. Error: Could not fetch SKILL.md from <url> Solution: The repo keeps its SKILL.md at a non-standard path — pass a direct URL to the SKILL.md file, or a local clone path instead.

  3. Error: No results for a valid topic Solution: The relevance gate drops repos without any skill signal. Broaden the keyword (e.g. n8n skill → n8n) or check the cached results note — results are cached for 24h in data/search-cache.json.

Examples

Example 1: Find skills by topic

Input: "Find me an n8n skill."

Output: Run discover.sh n8n, present the ranked table, and flag any result already installed.

Example 2: Check before installing

Input: "Is github.com/user/seo-helper worth installing?"

Output: Run discover.sh https://github.com/user/seo-helper, then summarize: overlap with existing skills, the verdict (e.g. "MODERATE_OVERLAP — 45% with marketing-skills:seo-audit"), and a recommendation.

Resources

  • Dispatcher (plugin-relative): {baseDir}/../../scripts/discover.sh
  • Search cache: data/search-cache.json (24h TTL)
  • /janitor-report — health check of currently installed skills
  • /janitor-value — are existing skills earning their context cost
  • /janitor-fix — fix issues with installed skills
