Scout public agent-skill directories (ranked by installs) and propose new skills for the-grid, deduped against what is wired. Use when the user says "skill-scout", "find new skills" or "what skills should I add".
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-scout
Find popular Claude skills the-grid doesn't have yet, and propose them — ranked
by install count. **Propose only.** Never add submodules or run `wire.sh`; the
user adds skills via the-grid's normal flow (`git submodule add … && bash scripts/wire.sh`).
## How to run
1. **Gather candidates.**
- *Ranked web directories:* WebFetch each listing page and pull the ranked rows
— skill name, popularity number (installs), and source `owner/repo`. Normalise
install counts ("1.8M" → 1_800_000) so they sort.
- *Local library submodules:* read them straight off disk — `categories/*.md`
for awesome-list indexes, or grep `SKILL.md` frontmatter for real collections.
These have no install count — keep them in a separate, unranked pile.
2. **Load what the-grid already has.** From the repo root (`GRID_DIR`, default the
repo this skill lives in):
- Root-level skills: top-level directories containing a `SKILL.md`.
- Submodule skills: `repos/*/**/SKILL.md` (one or more skill dirs per submodule).
- Read each skill's `name:` from its frontmatter. Also note the source repo of

How to install
mdr add oneafrikan/the-grid/skill-scout@sha256:68ac4a32fa4b5592The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.cc24323, 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.
