4. Install by saving files to .claude/skills/{slug}/ and verify the SKILL.md exists
5. Confirm installation and explain what the skill does and when it activates

Example

search_skills({"query": "code review", "limit": 5, "category": "coding"})

How to Search for Skills

Call search_skills with:

• query: The search keywords from the user's request
• limit: Number of results (default 10, max 50)
• category: Filter by category slug (e.g., "coding", "automation")

Call get_skill with:

• id: The skill ID

Returns the skill metadata and all file contents:

• SKILL.md (main instructions)
• Reference documentation
• Helper scripts
• Configuration files

How to Install a Skill

When the user asks to install a skill:

1. Call get_skill to retrieve all files
2. Create the directory .claude/skills/{slug}/
3. Save each file to the appropriate location:
   • SKILL.md → .claude/skills/{slug}/SKILL.md
   • Other files → .claude/skills/{slug}/{filename}
4. Read back SKILL.md to verify the frontmatter is intact

Guidelines

• Always search before suggesting the user create their own skill
• Present search results in a readable format with file counts
• When installing, confirm the skill was saved successfully
• Explain what the skill does and when it activates
