find-skills

find-skills is a skill for Codex from Kevin-Liu-01/Agent-Machines. It costs 82 tokens per session (1,079 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for finding and installing specialized agent skills from skills.sh, a public registry of reusable skills. It explains how to search the registry and add skills with its command-line tool.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you need a skill for a specific area such as testing, React, design, or deployment, or when you want to extend the agent.
Why use it?
You may otherwise build a specialized workflow from scratch when an existing skill already covers it. This helps you look for suitable skills first.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • medium Excessive Agency · line 24
    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.
  • low Excessive Agency · line 17
    Skill's behavior or capabilities extend beyond its stated purpose. Scope creep allows an agent to perform actions unrelated to its documented functionality, increasing the attack surface.
    Fix: Limit the skill's scope to its documented purpose. Remove instructions that enable the agent to perform actions outside its stated functionality.

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

find-skills 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 12d 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.

Find Skills

skills.sh is the definitive open registry for agent skills. Before solving a specialized task from scratch, check if a battle-tested skill already exists.

When to Use

  • User asks "how do I do X" where X is a common domain task
  • User says "find a skill for X" or "is there a skill for X"
  • User asks "can you do X" where X is a specialized capability
  • A task touches a domain you lack deep procedural knowledge in
  • You want to extend capabilities with specialized workflows

Skills CLI

npx skills find [query]     # Search for skills by keyword
npx skills add <source>     # Install a skill
npx skills add <source> -g -y  # Install globally, skip prompts
npx skills check            # Check for skill updates
npx skills update           # Update all installed skills

Browse the registry: https://skills.sh/

How to Find the Right Skill

1. Understand the Need

Identify the domain (React, testing, design, deployment) and the specific task (writing tests, creating animations, reviewing PRs).

2. Check the Leaderboard

Visit skills.sh for the ranked leaderboard by total installs. Top ecosystem sources:

Source Focus
vercel-labs/skills React, Next.js, web design, find-skills
vercel-labs/agent-skills React best practices, composition patterns
anthropics/skills Frontend design, document processing
microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure Azure services, cloud infrastructure
coreyhaines31/marketingskills SEO audit, content strategy, pricing
resciencelab/opc-skills SEO/GEO, programmatic SEO
pbakaus/impeccable Design polish, critique, copywriting
superagent-ai/skills Security, browser automation

3. Search by Keyword

npx skills find react performance
npx skills find pr review
npx skills find changelog
npx skills find seo

4. Verify Quality Before Recommending

Signal Threshold
Weekly installs Prefer 1K+. Cautious under 100.
Source reputation Official sources (vercel-labs, anthropics, microsoft) preferred
GitHub stars Under 100 stars = treat with skepticism

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.
