IN PLAIN ENGLISH
What it does—and when it fits
Find Skills is Vercel's discovery workflow for locating and installing reusable Agent Skills. Its upstream instructions start from the user's task, check the public leaderboard, search with the Skills CLI, and ask the agent to evaluate install count, source reputation, and repository evidence before recommending a package.
This is aimed at Agent users looking for an existing capability. Compare the examples below with your task, then review the limitations, permissions, and risks before installing.
- Discover by taskTranslate a requested capability into a focused Skill search.
- Compare candidatesUse popularity and source evidence as review signals rather than automatic approval.
- Install from sourceHand off to the Skills CLI after the user selects a package.
- This profile is manually organized around the current upstream SKILL.md workflow.
- The capability boundary remains explicitly tied to vercel-labs/skills.
- Core uses, limitations, and risks are separated for pre-install review.
