Banana Skill Finder

Proactively helps users discover and install relevant Claude skills when they encounter tasks that could benefit from specialized capabilities.

When to Use This Skill

Trigger automatically (without user request) when detecting:

• Working with specific file formats or technologies
• Describing repetitive or specialized tasks
• Asking "is there a skill/tool for..." or similar
• Struggling with domain-specific work
• Any task where a specialized skill could help

Important: This skill should trigger proactively. Don't wait for users to explicitly ask for skill recommendations.

Workflow

1. Analyze User Need

Identify:

• Core task: What is the user trying to accomplish?
• Domain: What category does this fall into? (development, documents, data, web, devops, content, etc.)
• Keywords: Extract 2-4 relevant search terms

2. Search for Skills

Use a three-tier strategy with automatic fallback:

Tier 1: SkillsMP API (Best - if configured)

# Check for API key
echo $SKILLSMP_API_KEY

# If exists, use AI semantic search
curl -X GET "https://skillsmp.com/api/v1/skills/ai-search?q={natural_language_query}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SKILLSMP_API_KEY"

Benefits:

• AI understands user intent, not just keywords
• Access to 60,000+ curated skills
• Best relevance and quality indicators

Tier 2: skills.sh WebFetch (Good - always works)

# Try search with query parameter
Use WebFetch: https://skills.sh/?q={keywords}

# Or browse leaderboard
Use WebFetch: https://skills.sh  # All-time popular
Use WebFetch: https://skills.sh/trending  # Trending (24h)

Benefits:

• 200+ high-quality curated skills
• No authentication needed
• Ranked by install count
• Shows trending skills

Tier 3: GitHub API (Fallback - may have limits)

curl -X GET "https://api.github.com/search/code?q={keywords}+SKILL.md+language:markdown" \
  -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json"

Note: Rate limited (60/hour unauthenticated), use only as last resort.
