Where does this tool look for local skill files?

It prioritizes the local .claude/skills/ project directory, followed by installed plugin bundles and finally the global ~/.claude/skills/ folder.

Can I search for third-party skills on GitHub using this tool?

Yes, the Discover Skills tool searches preset awesome lists and uses the GitHub CLI to find repositories containing SKILL.md files.

How do I see which Claude skills are already installed?

You can trigger this skill by asking Claude to 'list skills' or 'show me available skills'. It will check your global, project, and plugin directories.

Is it safe to install skills found via discovery?

Skills contain instructions that Claude follows directly. You should treat them like executable code and always review the SKILL.md content before installation.

How can I make my own skill discoverable?

Create a SKILL.md file with proper frontmatter (name and description) in your project's .claude/skills/ directory, and this tool will automatically index it.
