Is the Resource Scout skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from nicepkg/ai-workflow. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Resource Scout SkillProof Score?

8.0/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 6/10, docs & honesty 4/5.

How do I install Resource Scout?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Resource Scout with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

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.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 8.0/10
Tested: Jul 31, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 002749c

Fetched SKILL.md and references/sources.md raw (both HTTP 200); frontmatter parses with name+description, the one referenced file exists, no scripts, no hardcoded paths, no security smells (no curl|sh/base64/injection). Trigger test on 5 phrasings — "is there a skill for PDF invoices or should I build one?", "MCP server to connect Claude to Notion", "what skills exist for git commits" (load) vs "explain the MCP handshake" and "optimize my slow Postgres index" (don't) — all 5 judged correctly. For OUTPUT I ran the task "find an MCP server for PostgreSQL": baseline artifact named 1 source (official servers repo) with ad-hoc pick; skill-followed artifact named ~8 distinct ranked directories plus site:github.com query templates and a stdio/HTTP-env-vars-local-test-settings.json verify checklist the baseline lacked. Real but modest uplift (curated bookmarks + a workflow), so 6. Docs lose a point for unverifiable catalog-size claims like "71,000+ skills".

What Resource Scout does

A discovery reference that points Claude at curated marketplaces, registries, and GitHub awesome-lists to find existing Claude Code skills and MCP servers before building a custom one. Triggers when the user asks to find a skill for a task, search for an MCP server to connect an external tool, or check whether a skill already exists. Supplies specific source URLs, search-query templates, and a verify-and-configure checklist.

How to install Resource Scout

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nicepkg/ai-workflow.git /tmp/resource-scout-src
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/resource-scout-src/.claude/skills/resource-scout ~/.claude/skills/resource-scout
# SKILL.md -> ~/.claude/skills/resource-scout/SKILL.md ; bundles references/sources.md
# No external deps, scripts, or API keys. Skill uses the built-in WebSearch tool.
# The repo has a duplicate copy at .claude/skills/legacy-to-ai-ready/assets/resource-scout/ ; the top-level one above is canonical.

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