search

A command for finding and installing coding-agent skills from GitHub repositories. It searches for repositories containing a file named SKILL.md and can sort browse results by popularity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search by keyword, browse popular skills, preview matching repositories, and install a selected skill interactively.
Why use it?
It helps you discover community-made skills without already knowing their repository names.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

npx agentmods add commands/runkids/skillshare/search
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/runkids/skillshare
Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 2,322 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

search scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 314 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Discover and install skills from GitHub repositories.

When to Use

  • Discover community skills from hub indexes
  • Find skills by name, tag, or description
  • Browse available skills before installing

Quick Start

skillshare search vercel       # Search by keyword
skillshare search              # Browse popular skills

This searches GitHub for repositories containing SKILL.md files that match your query.

Browse Mode

When no query is provided, search browses popular skills on GitHub:

skillshare search              # Browse popular skills
skillshare search --list       # List popular skills

This uses filename:SKILL.md as the GitHub query and sorts results by star count, showing the most popular skill repositories first.

Options

Flag Description
--project, -p Install to project-level config (.skillshare/)
--global, -g Install to global config (~/.config/skillshare)
--hub [URL] Search from a hub index (default: skillshare-hub; or custom URL/path)
--list, -l List results only, no install prompt
--json Output as JSON (for scripting)
--limit N, -n N Maximum results (default: 20, max: 100)
--help, -h Show help

:::tip Auto-detection If neither --project nor --global is specified, skillshare auto-detects: if .skillshare/config.yaml exists in the current directory, it defaults to project mode; otherwise global mode. :::

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

search is a command published in the GitHub repository runkids/skillshare (2,597 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,322 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
