Malo Find Skills

This is meta-tooling for Claude Code users running skills in a Nix environment. When someone asks "how do I do X" or "is there a skill for that", it searches skills.sh, presents options, and handles installation with the right flags for Claude Code. The interesting bit is how it splits custom skills (committed to your nix-config) from external ones (managed declaratively through an activation script that reinstalls them on every rebuild). If you're managing Claude skills alongside your Nix setup and want discovery without manually browsing the registry, this bridges that gap. It will also help you scaffold custom skills when nothing exists.

Find Skills

This skill helps you discover and install skills from the open agent skills ecosystem (https://skills.sh). Based on the find-skills skill by Vercel, adapted for this Nix-managed environment.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user:

Asks "how do I do X" where X might be a common task with an existing skill
Says "find a skill for X" or "is there a skill for X"
Asks "can you do X" where X is a specialized capability
Expresses interest in extending agent capabilities
Wants to search for tools, templates, or workflows

How Skills Work in This Setup

All paths below (e.g. home/claude.nix, configs/claude/skills/) are relative to the nix-config directory.

Skills are split into two categories:

Custom skills: Directories in configs/claude/skills/ committed to the nix-config repo. These are skills we author and maintain.
External skills: Installed from skills.sh via npx skills add. These are managed by an activation script in home/claude.nix and are gitignored (they appear as symlinks in the skills directory, not regular directories).
