The skill

Use when exploring the ai-agent-skills catalog to find, compare, and evaluate skills before installing. Always use --fields to limit output size and --dry-run before committing to an install.

Browse And Evaluate

Goal

Find the right skill for a task without flooding the context window or installing blindly.

Guardrails

  • Always use --fields on list/search/info to keep output small. Default: --fields name,tier,workArea,description.
  • Always use --dry-run before installing anything.
  • Never install more than 3 skills at once without explicit user confirmation.
  • Prefer --format json in non-interactive pipelines. The CLI defaults to JSON when stdout is not a TTY.
  • Use --limit when browsing large catalogs. Start with --limit 10.

Workflow

  1. Search or browse the catalog.
npx ai-agent-skills search <query> --fields name,tier,workArea,description --limit 10
  1. Get details on a candidate.
npx ai-agent-skills info <skill-name> --fields name,description,tags,collections,installCommands
  1. Preview the skill content.
npx ai-agent-skills preview <skill-name>
  1. Dry-run the install.
npx ai-agent-skills install <skill-name> --dry-run
  1. Install only after reviewing the dry-run output.
npx ai-agent-skills install <skill-name>

Gotchas

  • The preview command sanitizes skill content to strip prompt injection patterns. If content looks truncated, check if suspicious patterns were removed.
  • Collection installs pull multiple skills. Always --list or --dry-run a collection before installing.
  • Upstream (non-vendored) skills require a network fetch at install time. Use --dry-run to verify the source is reachable.
