Search and recommend Claude Code skills from trusted marketplaces

Instructions onlyAI & Agents
AI-generated overview

Searches trusted marketplaces for existing Claude Code skills and recommends matches for a user's stated need.

What it does
This skill takes a user's description of a need, extracts keywords and use case, and searches a fixed list of six skill marketplaces grouped by trust tier. It filters results by quality and security criteria, ranks them with a weighted scoring formula, and returns a formatted list of roughly five to ten recommendations with source, function, stars, last update and install command. It also flags low-quality or risky entries and reports honestly when nothing suitable is found.
When to use it
Use it when a user describes a task and wants to know whether an existing skill already solves it, such as finding a changelog generator, a frontend design skill or a browser automation skill. It is intended for skill discovery rather than building or editing skills.
Requirements
Instructions only; no bundled scripts. It relies on web search restricted with site: queries and on WebFetch to scrape specific marketplace pages, so network access is required. No credentials or packages are specified.

Search Process

Step 1: Parse User Intent

Extract from user description:

  • Core functionality keywords (e.g., changelog, browser, frontend)
  • Use case (e.g., development, testing, design)
  • Special requirements (e.g., language support, specific framework)

Step 2: Multi-Source Search

IMPORTANT: Only search these 6 sources. Do NOT search the entire internet.

Search by priority:

1. Search Tier 1 (official/high trust) first2. If fewer than 5 results, continue to Tier 23. If still insufficient, search Tier 2.5 (ClawHub - large volume, check quality)4. If still insufficient, search Tier 3 with strict filtering5. If still nothing found, tell user honestly - do NOT expand to other sources

Allowed search queries (use site: to restrict):

site:github.com/anthropics/skills {keywords}site:github.com/ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills {keywords}site:github.com/travisvn/awesome-claude-skills {keywords}site:skills.sh {keywords}site:clawhub.ai {keywords}site:skillsmp.com {keywords}

Search methods:

  • GitHub repos: Use site:github.com/{repo} to restrict search scope
  • skills.sh: WebFetch to scrape search results from skills.sh only
  • ClawHub: WebFetch clawhub.ai/skills?q={keywords} to search the registry
  • skillsmp.com: WebFetch with additional verification

Do NOT:

  • Search the entire web
  • Use broad queries without site: restriction
  • Include results from unknown sources

Step 3: Quality Filtering (Critical)

Must filter out the following:

Filter ConditionReason
GitHub stars < 10Not community verified
Last update > 6 months agoPossibly abandoned
No SKILL.md fileNon-standard format
README too sparseQuality concerns
Contains suspicious code patternsSecurity risk

Security checks:

  • Requests sensitive permissions (e.g., ~/.ssh, env variables)
  • External network requests to unknown domains
  • Contains eval() or dynamic code execution
  • Modifies system files

Step 4: Rank Results

Scoring formula:

Score = Source Weight × 0.4 + Stars Weight × 0.3 + Recency Weight × 0.2 + Relevance × 0.1
Source weights:- Tier 1: 1.0- Tier 2: 0.7- Tier 2.5 (ClawHub): 0.55- Tier 3: 0.4

Step 5: Format Output

Return Top 5-10 results:

markdown
## Found X relevant Skills
### Recommended1. **[skill-name](github-url)** - Source: anthropics/skills   - Function: xxx   - Stars: xxx | Last updated: xxx   - Install: `/plugin marketplace add xxx`
### Worth considering2. **[skill-name](github-url)** - Source: ComposioHQ   ...
### Not recommended (for reference only)- [skill-name](url) - Reason: low stars / not maintained

Example

User: Is there a skill that helps write commit messages?

Search process:

  1. Extract keywords: commit, message, git
  2. Search Tier 1: Found git-commit-assistant in anthropics/skills
  3. Search Tier 2: Found semantic-commit in ComposioHQ
  4. Filter: Exclude results with stars < 10
  5. Rank: Official sources first

Output:

## Found 3 relevant Skills
### Recommended1. **git-commit-assistant** - Source: anthropics/skills (official)   - Function: Generate semantic commit messages   - Install: `/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-code`
2. **semantic-commit** - Source: ComposioHQ   - Function: Follow conventional commits spec   - Stars: 890 | Last updated: 2 weeks ago

Important Notes

  1. Never recommend unverified Skills - Better to recommend fewer than to recommend risky ones
  2. Stay cautious with Tier 3 sources - Results from skillsmp.com must be double-checked
  3. If nothing suitable is found - Tell the user honestly, suggest using skill-from-masters to create their own
  4. Security concerns - Clearly inform users of risks, let them decide
