Guide the user to the right skill without running it. Use when someone asks which skill handles a task — "which skill handles dependency freshness?", "what should I use to do X?", "which skill for this?" — asks what skills exist ("what skills do I have"), asks what a named skill does or how skills relate ("what does orchestrator spawn?", "explain the X skill"), or has forgotten a skill's name ("the one that does X"). Also use for routing help when a request is vague about which skill should…
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 Explorer The user has accumulated a large toolkit (40+ repo skills plus plugin skills loaded into every session). Names blur together, descriptions overlap, and reaching for the wrong entry point (typically `orchestrator`) wastes a turn before getting redirected. This skill is the deliberate entry point for "what do I have / which one is right for this". **skill-explorer vs its siblings.** Use `skill-explorer` (this skill) to *discover, recall, explain, and route* — it names the right skill and stops, leaving you to fire it. Use `madness` when you want that routing decision *acted on* — it picks the entry point and launches it (confirming first on anything expensive).

How to install
mdr add ivy00johns/skill-madness/skill-explorer@sha256:98e08f00b20c6871The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.4.1, 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.
