# MOAA catalog: skills on demand

MOAA installs big skill packs (agentic-awesome-skills, ruflo extras) disabled, so their skills are not listed in every

request. Their files stay on disk, indexed in `~/.claude/moaa-catalog/index.json` (rebuilt only when plugins or

settings change; a search takes milliseconds).

- 1. A hook may already have named matches for the user's prompt ("moaa-catalog: skills from disabled plugins...").

+ 1. A hook may already have named matches for the user's prompt ("moaa-catalog: skills that may fit...").

Otherwise search with 1 to 4 specific words:

```

python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/catalog.py" search <words>

```

- 2. Load the best match into this session with one call, which also logs the use:

+ 2. A hit from an enabled plugin says `Skill tool, skill "plugin:name"`: invoke it that way. A hit from a disabled

+ plugin is loaded into this session with one call, which also logs the use:

```

python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/catalog.py" use "<path to its SKILL.md>"

```

Follow what it prints for this task. Files it mentions sit next to that SKILL.md.

3. Only skills work this way. When a pack's hooks, agents or MCP tools are needed, or `use` reports the pack is used

often, tell the user and run `claude plugin enable <plugin id>` (loads from the next session). For one project

only, add `"enabledPlugins": {"<plugin id>": true}` to that project's `.claude/settings.json`.

`catalog.py packs` lists the disabled plugins with their skill counts. Nothing here changes settings or plugins.
