Overview

This skill searches and recommends Claude Code skills from a curated set of trusted marketplaces. It prioritizes official and high-trust sources, applies strict quality and security filters, and returns a ranked list of relevant skills with installation hints. The aim is to save time by finding proven skills that match a user's concrete need.

How this skill works

The skill parses the user’s intent to extract keywords, use case, and any special requirements. It performs site-restricted searches across five approved sources in a specific priority order, applies quantitative quality and security filters, then ranks candidates using a weighted scoring formula. Results are returned as a concise, actionable list: recommended, worth-considering, and not-recommended entries.

When to use it

• You want an existing Claude Code skill to solve a specific task (e.g., changelogs, browser automation).
• You need vetted recommendations from trusted skill directories rather than a general web search.
• You want skills filtered for maintenance, community adoption, and security before installation.
• You prefer quick install guidance for marketplace plugins.
• You need honest feedback when no suitable skill exists.

Best practices

• Provide a short, specific description of the task and any constraints (framework, language, permissions).
• Mention hard requirements up front (offline-only, specific integrations, no external network calls).
• Accept the top 5–10 focused results and review suggested security notes before installing.
• Use the install hint provided (marketplace command) and double-check repository activity and stars before running code.
• If no match is found, consider commissioning a custom skill using a proven template or skill-from-masters approach.

Example use cases

• Find a skill to auto-generate changelogs for a git workflow.
• Locate a Claude Code skill that automates browser actions for end-to-end testing.
• Discover frontend design helper skills for generating responsive component templates.
• Identify repo tools for writing semantic commit messages and changelogs.
• Search for a skill that integrates with a specific framework or language runtime.
