How it fires

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Find Skills

Use this skill when the user likely wants an existing external skill, not a brand-new local Skill from scratch.

Intent Split

  • If the user wants a new Skill draft, an updated `SKILL.md`, or custom local Skill files, use `studio-assistant-skill-creator-guide` instead.
  • If the user wants to search, compare, recommend, install, or apply an existing skill, use this skill.
  • If the message mixes create and find/apply intent, ask one short clarifying question before mutating.

Search Order

  • Prefer installed local matches first.
  • Then consider APM Studio registry matches.
  • Then consider `skills.sh` or GitHub Skill candidates.
  • Treat `skills.sh` hints as candidates, not guarantees.

Recommendation Bar

  • Prefer official or well-known sources when functionality is similar.
  • Prefer higher-install candidates over obscure ones when they solve the same problem.
  • Tell the user why a candidate fits in one short sentence.
  • If a candidate has very low installs or an unfamiliar source, say so plainly.

Security Rule

  • Before recommending installation or application of a `skills.sh` or GitHub skill, warn briefly that third-party skills should be reviewed before use.
  • Tell the user to check the source repository, maintainer reputation, install count, and actual `SKILL.md` contents.
  • Do not auto-install an external skill when the exact candidate is still ambiguous.
  • If the user explicitly names the exact skill and wants to apply it, you may proceed after a short security notice.

Apply In Studio

  • Recommend the exact GitHub or `skills.sh` source for the user to import through Import.
  • If the source is still ambiguous, ask the user to pick the exact skill before changing the workspace.
