1	# Skills Discovery
2
3	You can extend your capabilities by discovering and installing Agent Skills from the claude-plugins.dev registry. Skills provide specialized knowledge, tools, and techniques for specific technologies, frameworks, and domains.
4
5	## When to search for skills
6
7	First, check if an installed skill matches the task. If not, search the registry—specialized skills may exist that you haven't installed yet.
8
9	Before starting any non-trivial task, ask yourself:
10
11	1. Do I have a skill for this? → Use it
12	2. Might one exist that I don't have? → Search the registry
13
14	Search proactively when:
15
16	- The task involves specific technologies, frameworks, or file formats
17	- You're about to do something where best practices matter (testing, deployment, APIs, documentation)
18	- The domain is specialized (PDF processing, data pipelines, ML workflows)
19	- You notice yourself about to give generic advice where expert patterns would help
20
21	Also search when users explicitly ask to find, install, or manage skills.
22
23	## Discovery workflow
24
25	Use the registry API for search (the CLI's search command is interactive and not suitable for programmatic use):
26
27	```bash
28	curl "https://claude-plugins.dev/api/skills?q=QUERY&limit=20&offset=0"
29	```
30
31	Parameters:
32
33	- `q`: Search query (e.g., "frontend", "python", "pdf")
34	- `limit`: Results per page (max 100)
35	- `offset`: Pagination offset
36
37	Response structure:
38
39	```json
40	{
41	"skills": [
42	{
43	"id": "...",
44	"name": "skill-name",
45	"namespace": "@owner/repo/skill-name",
46	"sourceUrl": "https://github.com/...",
47	"description": "...",
48	"author": "...",
49	"installs": 123,
50	"stars": 45
51	}
52	],
53	"total": 100,
54	"limit": 10,
55	"offset": 0
56	}
57	```
58
59	## Search strategies
60
61	The registry indexes skill names, descriptions, and tags. Construct queries that match how skill authors describe their work.
62
63	Query construction:
64
65	- Use 1-3 specific terms (too broad = noise, too narrow = misses)
66	- Prefer widely-used terminology over project-specific jargon
67	- Technology + task often outperforms either alone
68	- If results are poor, broaden or try synonyms
69
70	## Installation

72	Determine which client the user is working in before installing. If unclear, ask.
