Find Skills

By vercel-labs· vercel-labs/skills· 0

Built by Vercel Labs. Claude searches the open skill ecosystem for you — surfaces real, popular skills instead of reinventing them.

Installation

  1. Make sure Claude is on your device and in your terminal.

    Skills load from ~/.claude/skills/ when Claude Code starts up — so you need it on your machine first. If you don't have it yet, install it once with the command below, then run claude in any terminal to verify.

    One-time setup
    npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

    Already have it? Skip ahead.

  2. Paste into Claude Code or into your terminal.
    Install

    This copies the whole skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/find-skills-vercel-labs/ — the SKILL.md plus any scripts, reference docs, or templates the skill ships with. Safe default: works for every skill.

    Faster alternative (instruction-only skills)

    Skips the clone and grabs only the SKILL.md file. Don't use this if the skill ships Python scripts, reference markdowns, or asset templates — they won't be downloaded and the skill will fail when it tries to load them.

    Quick install (SKILL.md only)

  3. Restart Claude Code.

    Quit and reopen Claude Code (or any other agent that loads from ~/.claude/skills/). New skills are picked up on startup.

  4. Just ask Claude.

    Skills auto-activate when your request matches the skill's description — no slash command needed. Trigger phrases live in the skill's own frontmatter; you can read them in the “What this skill does” section above.

Prefer to read the source first? Open on GitHub.

When Claude uses it

Helps users discover and install agent skills when they ask questions like "how do I do X", "find a skill for X", "is there a skill that can...", or express interest in extending capabilities. This skill should be used when the user is looking for functionality that might exist as an installable skill.

What this skill does

Find Skills is Vercel Labs' meta-skill — it teaches Claude to check the open agent skills ecosystem before answering. When you ask "how do I do X" or "can you build Y," Claude consults the skills.sh leaderboard, runs npx skills find <query>, verifies each candidate's install count + source reputation, and recommends battle-tested options rather than reinventing the wheel.

It's the closest thing the Claude Code ecosystem has to a built-in package manager interface.

Key behaviors it installs into Claude:

  • Checks the skills.sh leaderboard before searching (prefers high-install, official-source skills)
  • Runs npx skills find <query> for ad-hoc searches
  • Filters results by install count (1k+ preferred, <100 flagged) and source reputation (vercel-labs, anthropics, microsoft over unknown authors)
  • Presents options with install commands so you can npx skills add ... in one paste

Includes the full npx skills CLI as a side effect — install / update / check commands all work after this skill is installed. License: not specified by the repo, treat as Vercel-labs internal but generally permissive for community use.
