Find Skills Combo

Discover and install skill combinations from the open agent skills ecosystem. Unlike single-skill search, this skill decomposes complex tasks into subtasks, searches for candidates per subtask, evaluates coverage, and recommends two strategies: Maximum Quality (best skill per subtask, highest output quality) and Minimum Dependencies (fewest installs, lean setup). Users pick the strategy that fits their priorities.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user:

• Asks "how do I do X" where X involves multiple capabilities or domains
• Says "find a skill for X" or "is there a skill for X"
• Describes a task that spans several concerns (e.g., "build a quarterly report with charts, risk analysis, and executive summary")
• Wants to compose a workflow from multiple skills
• Asks "can you do X" where X is a complex, multi-step task
• Expresses interest in extending agent capabilities for a non-trivial project

Fallback: If the task is genuinely single-domain and simple (one clear capability), skip the decomposition, run a single npx skills find query, present results, and offer to install. Don't over-engineer simple requests.

What is the Skills CLI?

The Skills CLI (npx skills) is the package manager for the open agent skills ecosystem.

The 5-Phase Pipeline

For complex tasks, follow all five phases in order. For simple tasks, see the Fallback section above.

Phase 1: Task Decomposition

Break the user's request into independent subtasks. Each subtask represents a distinct capability needed to complete the overall task.
