Find existing skills before creating one or concluding none exists.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# skillfind — most of your skills are invisible

389 unique skills live on this machine. Only 211 load into a session.
**178 are on disk and invisible to every session**: stale plugin version
directories, the skills of 19 disabled plugins, project-scoped installs,
`skills-archive`, and 16 cloned marketplaces whose plugins were never installed.

So the skill listing in your context is roughly half the truth. Not finding
something there means nothing. Search before you conclude.

## Not the same as `find-skills`

They trigger on similar words and do opposite things. **Always run this one
first**, because installing something Wes already owns is pure waste.

| | searches | installs? | network |
|---|---|---|---|
| **skillfind** (this) | what is already on the machine | never | never |
| `find-skills` | the public ecosystem via `npx skills` / skills.sh | yes | yes |

Local first. Only reach for `find-skills` once skillfind has come back empty.

## The command

```
node ~/.claude/tools/skillfind/skillfind.cjs "<query>"
```

Query it the way you would describe the task, not with a guessed skill name.
The scoring runs over each skill's `description`, and descriptions are written
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ucsandman/claude-skills/skillfind@sha256:f65d7a9fb461b719

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260905.41afbd2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
