What it does

Skill Finder is an agent skill from mizchi/skills. Use ONLY when the user explicitly asks to discover or evaluate a skill from OUTSIDE the curated catalog — e.g., "find a Stripe skill", "is there a skill for X?", "evaluate this candidate before adopting". Meta-skill, complementary to skill-selector: do NOT auto-invoke on routine apm-management, project-init, or catalog-resident requests. Cross-source survey across vetted registries (Anthropic official, claude-skill-registry, VoltAgent/awesome-agent-skills, ComposioHQ, Superpowers, GitHub topic) with a mandatory…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md`, `evals/eval.yaml` and `evals/ledger.yaml`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Monitoring and alerting and Skill management. It works with GitHub and Stripe. The repository describes itself as: Agent skills by mizchi, distributed via APM.

When your agent uses it

  • Explicitly asks to discover
  • Evaluate a skill from OUTSIDE the curated catalog — e.g.
  • Find a Stripe skill
  • Is there a skill for X?

Example prompts

  • “find a Stripe skill”
  • “is there a skill for X?”
  • “evaluate this candidate before adopting”
  • “/skill-finder”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Low-quality content — registries vary wildly in vetting; some are SEO scrapes.
  2. Registry blindness — Tier-1 official sources can already cover the need; jumping to GitHub grep first wastes effort and lands in noisier…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 62f5808. 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:

    • curl
    • 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:

    • raw.githubusercontent.com

    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 Finder loads about 3.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 139 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,471 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~139
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.7k

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.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,471 words (~3,157 tokens).

“Adopting a skill found outside the curated catalog has two failure modes the in-catalog flow does not carry:”
