Automated summary

Dynamically discovers all available skills and subagent types.

Strengths

Provides an instant list of available skills via command or script
Explains how skills work and how they trigger based on keywords
Offers information on subagent types and how to use them
Guides users on creating new skills

Limitations

Only lists skills found in the .claude/skills/ directory
Does not create new skills, only discovers existing ones
Requires Python3 and file system access

When to use it

When you are new to skills or want to see what skills are available.

When not to use it

When you already know the specific skill needed for a task.

Security analysis

Safe

Quality score90/100

The skill only runs a local Python script to list available skills and provides informational guidance. It uses Bash but no destructive or exfiltrating commands, no external URLs, and no obfuscated payloads.

Skill Discovery

Name: Skill Discovery
Author: Skills Guide Bot

Dynamically discover all available skills and subagent types.

Usage

Run the discovery script to list all skills:

python3 .claude/skills/s/scripts/discover.py

Subagent Types

Subagents are spawned via the Task tool. Available types are defined in the Task tool's system description. To see current subagent types, check the subagent_type parameter in your Task tool definition.

Common subagent types include:

Explore - Fast codebase exploration, file finding, searches
general-purpose - Complex multi-step tasks, research
Bash - Git operations, command execution
Plan - Architecture decisions, implementation planning

Note: Subagent types are defined by the Task tool, not this skill. Check your tool definitions for the authoritative list.

How Skills Work

Skills live in .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter:

---
name: skill-name
description: What it does AND when to trigger (keywords here!)
allowed-tools: Read, Edit, Write, Task
---

Triggering: Skills auto-trigger based on keywords in their description field
Invocation: Use /<skill-name> or natural language matching trigger keywords
Tools: Each skill declares what tools it can use in allowed-tools

Adding New Skills

Use the skill-creator skill: /skill-creator <description>

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/skill-discovery-mm5t8awf/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/skill-discovery-mm5t8awf' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/skill-discovery-mm5t8awf/download' --output '.skill-downloads/skill-discovery-mm5t8awf/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/skill-discovery-mm5t8awf/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/skill-discovery-mm5t8awf/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

This file does not provide a usable name/description header for this native procedure. It remains available to download and inspect; use the manual method below.

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/skill-discovery-mm5t8awf/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
