The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Fetched SKILL.md from configs/claude/skills/malo-find-skills/; frontmatter has valid name+description. The skill's core action is the external CLI `npx skills`, which I ran: `npx skills find "react performance"` in /tmp returned 6 real skills with install counts and skills.sh URLs (e.g. nickcrew/claude-ctx-plugin@react-performance-optimization, 1.8K installs). Baseline (answering the same discovery question from my own knowledge) can only give unverifiable pointers; the skill produced a verifiable ranked list with runnable install commands — concrete measurable difference. No security smells beyond npx executing third-party packages, which is the skill's purpose. The "make permanent" step is Nix/dotfiles-specific and inapplicable to a general install, which cost a docs point.

What Malo Find Skills does

Discovers installable agent skills by running `npx skills find <query>` against the skills.sh registry, presenting ranked matches with install counts and links, then installing the chosen one via `npx skills add`. Triggers when the user asks "is there a skill for X", "find a skill for X", or wants to extend agent capabilities. Includes a Nix-specific "make permanent" step that only applies inside the author's dotfiles.

How to install Malo Find Skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/malob/nix-config.git /tmp/malo-find-skills-src
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/malo-find-skills-src/configs/claude/skills/malo-find-skills ~/.claude/skills/malo-find-skills
# Requires Node.js. The skill runs `npx skills find <query>` to search skills.sh,
# then `npx skills add <owner/repo> --skill <name> -g -a claude-code -y` to install a match.
# Step 4 "Make It Permanent" edits home/claude.nix / externalSkills and runs `nh darwin switch`;
# that only works in the author's Nix-managed dotfiles — ignore it for a normal install.

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
