Skills Discovery

You can extend your capabilities by discovering and installing Agent Skills from the claude-plugins.dev registry. Skills provide specialized knowledge, tools, and techniques for specific technologies, frameworks, and domains.

When to search for skills

First, check if an installed skill matches the task. If not, search the registry—specialized skills may exist that you haven't installed yet.

Before starting any non-trivial task, ask yourself:

1. Do I have a skill for this? → Use it
2. Might one exist that I don't have? → Search the registry

Search proactively when:

• The task involves specific technologies, frameworks, or file formats
• You're about to do something where best practices matter (testing, deployment, APIs, documentation)
• The domain is specialized (PDF processing, data pipelines, ML workflows)
• You notice yourself about to give generic advice where expert patterns would help
