resource-scout

A discovery helper for finding existing Claude Code skills and Model Context Protocol servers in marketplaces, code repositories, and registries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search for skills for a particular job or MCP servers that connect Claude Code to external tools and services. It also helps compare likely sources and search terms.
Why use it?
It helps you check whether a reusable tool already exists before building one yourself. It narrows the search by task, technical framework, service, or type of integration.

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.

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

resource-scout 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 3d 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.

Resource Scout

Search and discover existing Claude Code skills and MCP servers before building custom solutions.

Quick Search Strategy

For Skills:

  1. WebSearch: site:skillsmp.com [topic] or claude skill [topic]
  2. Check GitHub: awesome-claude-skills [topic]
  3. Browse: skillhub.club, claudeskills.info

For MCP:

  1. WebSearch: MCP server [tool/service name]
  2. Check: glama.ai/mcp/servers, mcpmarket.com
  3. Official: github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers

Skill Search Workflow

Step 1: Define Need

Before searching, clarify:

  • What task needs to be accomplished?
  • What tools/services are involved?
  • Is it a common pattern (git, testing, API) or domain-specific?

Step 2: Search Marketplaces

Primary sources (largest catalogs):

Source URL Best For
SkillsMP skillsmp.com 71000+ skills, long-tail search
SkillHub.club skillhub.club AI-evaluated, quality filter
Claude Skills Hub claudeskills.info UI-friendly browsing

Search patterns:

# On SkillsMP
[domain] skill          → "marketing skill", "database skill"
[framework] claude      → "react claude", "fastapi claude"
[task] automation       → "deployment automation"

Step 3: Search GitHub

Curated lists:

  • github.com/keyuyuan/skillhub-awesome-skills - 精选清单
  • github.com/VoltAgent/awesome-claude-skills - 生态大全
  • github.com/ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills - 大量通用技能

Ready-to-use repositories:

  • github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills - Content/Marketing
  • github.com/gked2121/claude-skills - Workflow思维
  • github.com/Microck/ordinary-claude-skills - 超大集合
  • github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills - 结构化

Search command:

# Use WebSearch tool
site:github.com "claude skill" [topic]
site:github.com "SKILL.md" [topic]

Step 4: Evaluate & Install

When skill found:

  1. Check last update date (prefer recent)
  2. Review SKILL.md for quality
  3. Check if has scripts/references
  4. Install with skill-downloader or manual copy

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
