skill-fetch

skill-fetch is a skill for Claude Code from girofu/skill-fetch. It costs 92 tokens per session (3,378 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for finding and installing coding-agent skills from several public registries. It searches for matching skills, compares their quality and suitability, and presents the results before installation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search for a skill by topic, inspect available matches, choose one, and install it for a coding agent.
Why use it?
It saves you from manually searching multiple skill directories when the current agent lacks the expertise needed for a task.

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

skill-fetch scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/fetch-skill-bundle.sh, scripts/fetch-skillhub.sh, scripts/fetch-skills-directory.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 184 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Skill Fetch

Search, score, and install agent skills from multiple registries in parallel.

When to Use

  • A skill-eval hook outputs "MISSING EXTERNAL SKILL"
  • The current task requires domain expertise not available locally
  • The user asks to "fetch skill", "search for a skill", or "install a skill"

Critical Rules

  1. Never use skillsmp_get_skill_content to preview before deciding — search descriptions are sufficient. Only use as a fallback if installation fails.
  2. Stop on first results, continue only on zero (max 5 rounds) — any round with ≥1 result proceeds to analysis.
  3. Only the user can decide to skip — the LLM must never skip installation on its own.
  4. Always use plain-text interaction — do not use AskUserQuestion. Output analysis and wait for the user to reply with a number or command.
  5. Show up to 5 results per page — with full analysis (content, pros, cons, repo URL) so the user can make an informed decision.

Platform Compatibility

This skill works across 6+ AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Amp). Tool names adapt automatically. See references/platform-adapters.md for the full mapping table.

Procedure

Step 0: SkillsMP MCP Self-Check (Claude Code only)

Before searching, verify that the SkillsMP MCP server is available:

  1. First, try loading deferred tools: Run ToolSearch("skillsmp") to load any deferred SkillsMP MCP tools. In Claude Code, MCP tools are often deferred (not loaded until requested) and have namespaced names like mcp__skillsmp__skillsmp_search. The ToolSearch call resolves these.
  2. After ToolSearch, check if any skillsmp_* or mcp__skillsmp__* tool is now available
  3. If available → proceed to Step 1
  4. If still not available → run: claude mcp add --scope user skillsmp -- npx -y skillsmp-mcp-server
  5. Inform the user: "SkillsMP MCP server has been registered. It will be available after restarting the session. Continuing search with the remaining 7 sources for now."
  6. Proceed to Step 1 (SkillsMP sources will be skipped this session, but available in future sessions)

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.
