Workflow

1. Search for skills matching the user's request using `search_skills` 2. Present results with title, description, author, and file list 3. If the user picks a skill, retrieve it with `get_skill` to get all files 4. Install by saving files to `.claude/skills/{slug}/` and verify the SKILL.md exists 5. Confirm installation and explain what the skill does and when it activates

Example

search_skills({"query": "code review", "limit": 5, "category": "coding"})
get_skill({"id": "abc123"})

Available Tools

Use these prompts.chat MCP tools:

• `search_skills` - Search for skills by keyword
• `get_skill` - Get a specific skill by ID with all its files

How to Search for Skills

Call `search_skills` with:

• `query`: The search keywords from the user's request
• `limit`: Number of results (default 10, max 50)
• `category`: Filter by category slug (e.g., "coding", "automation")
• `tag`: Filter by tag slug

Present results showing:

• Title and description
• Author name
• File list (SKILL.md, reference docs, scripts)
• Category and tags
• Link to the skill

How to Get a Skill

Call `get_skill` with:

• `id`: The skill ID

Returns the skill metadata and all file contents:

• SKILL.md (main instructions)
• Reference documentation
• Helper scripts
• Configuration files

How to Install a Skill

When the user asks to install a skill:

1. Call `get_skill` to retrieve all files 2. Create the directory `.claude/skills/{slug}/` 3. Save each file to the appropriate location:

• `SKILL.md` → `.claude/skills/{slug}/SKILL.md`
• Other files → `.claude/skills/{slug}/{filename}`

4. Read back `SKILL.md` to verify the frontmatter is intact

Guidelines

• Always search before suggesting the user create their own skill
• Present search results in a readable format with file counts
• When installing, confirm the skill was saved successfully
• Explain what the skill does and when it activates
