Automated summary

This skill bundles four quick utility actions: weather lookup, filename search within the project, URL opening, and playing videos or songs on YouTube.

Strengths

  • Covers several small everyday needs in one skill with explicit tools (get_weather, search_project_files, open_url, play_youtube)
  • Enforces concise answers and requires confirming the exact URL that was opened after open_url
  • Handles the no-direct-match case in play_youtube by distinguishing resolved_first_result true from false
  • Scopes search_project_files to filename lookup only, so it is not mistaken for file reading or editing

Limitations

  • Does not read or modify files: the skill itself states search_project_files must not replace reading or editing project files
  • Relies on external tools (weather, URL opening, YouTube) and only returns a structured error when a network action fails
  • Specifies no parameters, units, or default location for the weather lookup
When to use it

Use it for a quick one-off request such as checking the weather, finding a file by name, opening a link, or starting a song on YouTube.

When not to use it

Avoid it for anything that requires reading, editing, or analyzing the contents of project files or the pages being opened.

Examples

Weather check
What's the weather like in Lyon right now?
Find a file by name
Search the project for any file named docker-compose.yml and tell me where it is.
Play music on YouTube
Play some lo-fi jazz on YouTube.

Use utility tools for quick lookup tasks.

Rules:

  • Prefer direct answer when possible.
  • If network actions fail, return a clear structured error.
  • Keep utility responses concise and actionable.
  • Use search_project_files for filename lookup only; do not use it as a substitute for reading or editing project files.
  • After open_url, confirm that the exact URL was opened.
  • After play_youtube, inspect the tool result:
    • If resolved_first_result is true, say that the first playable YouTube result was opened.
    • If resolved_first_result is false, say that YouTube search results were opened as a fallback.

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/utility-tools-ms1aw4e2/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/utility-tools-ms1aw4e2' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/utility-tools-ms1aw4e2/download' --output '.skill-downloads/utility-tools-ms1aw4e2/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/utility-tools-ms1aw4e2/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/utility-tools-ms1aw4e2/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.

Tools declared by the author (check availability in your agent): get_weather search_project_files open_url play_youtube

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

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

test -f '.skill-downloads/utility-tools-ms1aw4e2/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/utility-tools-ms1aw4e2/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/utilities' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/utility-tools-ms1aw4e2' '.claude/skills/utilities'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/utility-tools-ms1aw4e2'

openskills read 'utility-tools-ms1aw4e2'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

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/utility-tools-ms1aw4e2/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.
