Use when searching installed skills, as the first step of any task, for one that should drive it. Searches the whole catalogue, hidden skills included, by concepts in English and Russian. Triggers - "which skill", «какой скилл», «найди скилл». NOT for building or auditing a skill (make-skill).

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

# skill-search — the first step of every task

Most installed skills are deliberately hidden from the host's skill listing:
Claude Code lists descriptions within a small budget and the operator marks most
skills `user-invocable-only`; Codex marks them `enabled = false`. The listing
is therefore not the catalogue. Search the catalogue. Also asked as "is there
a skill for" / «есть ли скилл»: restate the request in one line, turn it into
concepts with synonyms, search, then follow the matching SKILL.md.

## The step

1. **Restate the request in one line** — what the operator wants done, in your
   words. This line is the meaning you search for, not the literal phrasing.
2. **Decide whether a skill could help.** None for a question, an explanation,
   or a one-line edit — say so and proceed. Everything else continues.
3. **Turn the meaning into concepts**: 3–8 short terms in English AND Russian,
   plus synonyms and the artifact involved (`pdf, документ, extract text,
   извлечь текст`). Name the domain, not the verb alone.
4. **Search the whole catalogue:**

   ```bash
   npx --yes sshlg-skills toolkit --find "<concept>, <concept>, …"
   ```
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ssheleg/make-skill/skill-search@sha256:a39b126b215fea40

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.33.5, 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.
