Claude out of the box is a brilliant generalist. Skills turn it into a specialist: a skill is a reusable capability you install with one command so it knows how to do something specific (front-end design, research, automation). The catch is that there are already more than 690,000 of them on skills.sh. How do you find the right one?

find-skills is the skill that finds all the others.

You install it once. After that, the moment you ask Claude "how do I do X?", it goes looking for the best skill for the job, recommends it, and installs it. It is your personal equipping coach. 1.9 million people already use it.

Understand what skills.sh is

🗂️ skills.sh

skills.sh is an open-source directory (maintained by Vercel) of reusable capabilities for AI agents. Their definition: "reusable capabilities you install with a single command to enhance your agent." More than 690,000 skills, compatible with 20+ agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini, VS Code).

The generic command to install a skill:

npx skills add <owner/repo>
The key idea
You do not teach Claude to do everything, you install the right capability at the right moment. And find-skills automates that choice.

Install find-skills

⚡ one command, once

It is the most installed skill in the whole ecosystem (1.9 M). Just run:

npx skills add https://github.com/vercel-labs/skills --skill find-skills
Why this one first
Without it, you dig through 690,000 skills by hand. With it, you describe your need in plain language and it does the sorting for you. It is the front door to everything else.

Let it equip you

🎯 describe your need

Now you have nothing left to search for. Two ways to use it:

💬
In plain language
Ask Claude "how do I do X?" or "can you do Y?". find-skills triggers, finds the best skill for the task, and offers to install it.
🔎
By direct search
Run npx skills find [your need] to explore matching skills yourself, then npx skills add <owner/repo> for the one you pick.
The result
Your Claude builds a custom toolbox, one real need at a time. The more you use it, the better equipped it is.

Pro tips

📊
Trust the signals
find-skills prioritizes skills with 1,000+ installs, reputable sources (Vercel, Anthropic), and GitHub stars. Follow that logic when you hesitate between two.
🏆
Check the leaderboard
Before installing, glance at the skills.sh ranking. Safe bets: frontend-design (Anthropic), the Vercel best-practices.
🔐
Stay careful about sources
A skill runs instructions inside your agent. Install from trusted sources, not some obscure repo, even though find-skills already filters a lot.
🧹
Uninstall what you do not use
An agent overloaded with useless skills is harder to read. Keep the tooling you actually use.
You no longer need to know every skill. You just need the one that knows them all.
