# Find Skills
This skill helps you discover, install, and update skills from the open agent skills ecosystem.
It uses the `skills` CLI if available and falls back to `nix run` for Nix users.
## 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
- Mentions they wish they had help with a specific domain (design, testing, deployment, etc.)
- Wants to update, upgrade, or reinstall skills they already have installed
## What is the Skills CLI?
The Skills CLI (`skills`) is the package manager for the open agent skills ecosystem. Skills are modular packages that extend agent capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools.
If `skills` is not on PATH, run it via `nix run` instead, e.g.: `nix run "nixpkgs#skills" -- update`. Prefix every `skills` command in this guide accordingly.
**Key commands:**
- `skills find <query> [--owner <owner>]` - Search for skills by keyword, optionally scoped to a GitHub owner. Always pass an explicit query: without one, `find` launches an interactive TUI that hangs in non-interactive shells.
- `skills add <package>` - Install a skill from GitHub or other sources
- `skills list -g` - List globally installed skills (`--json` for machine-read
