## Homepage Overview

# Skillget

Skillget is a directory for AI skills, agents, workflows and MCP servers.

It helps developers compare tools using practical trust signals instead of vague recommendations. Listings can include GitHub stars, user ratings, security audit results, compatible CLIs and direct install commands.

## Core flows

- Browse published listings on `/explore`
- Open a listing page to inspect metadata, README content, ratings and audits
- Use the CLI package `@keremsolmaz/skillget` to search and install from the terminal
- Use the public API for search and listing detail retrieval
- Add the `skillget.md` command file to AI coding tools such as Claude Code or Cursor

## Best fit

Skillget is useful when a user asks for:

- an AI skill for coding or research
- an MCP server for a specific integration
- an agent or workflow with a concrete install path
- a recommendation that should include trust signals and security context

## CLI Documentation

# Skillget CLI

The Skillget CLI lets users search and install AI skills, agents, workflows and MCP servers from the terminal.

## Package and command name

- npm package: `@keremsolmaz/skillget`
- installed command name: `skillget`

## Run with npx

```bash
npx @keremsolmaz/skillget
npx @keremsolmaz/skillget search "code review"
npx @keremsolmaz/skillget install cursor-tools-code-review
npx @keremsolmaz/skillget info cursor-tools-code-review
```

## Global install

```bash
npm install -g @keremsolmaz/skillget
skillget --help
skillget search "mcp" --type mcp --sort top
```

## Commands

- `search <query>`: Search listings by query and optional filters
- `install <slug>`: Fetch a listing and run its install command locally
- `info <slug>`: Show listing details, trust signals and install information

## Notes

- The CLI reads from `https://skillget.dev/api/v1` by default.
- Set `SKILLGET_API` to point the CLI at another API base URL.
- Install commands come from listing data, so users should review them before running.

## API Documentation

## Base URL

`https://skillget.dev/api/v1`

## Endpoints

### Search listings

`GET /search`

Query parameters:

- `q`: free-text query

- `data.totalPages`

### Get listing details

`GET /listings/:slug`

Returns:

- `data.listing`
- `data.tags`
- `data.audit`

Listing fields can include:

- `slug`
- `repo_full_name`
- `repo_url`
- `type`
- `short_description`
- `install_command`
- `primary_language`
- `github_stars_count`
- `is_verified`
- `compatible_clients`
- `favorite_count`
- `review_count`
- `average_rating`
- `view_count`

### Track a download

`POST /listings/:slug/download`

This endpoint increments a listing download count.

## Rate limits

The public API is rate-limited to 60 requests per 15 minutes per client.

## AI Command File

You are a skill discovery assistant. The user needs a tool, skill, agent or MCP server for their current task. Use the skillget.dev API to find, evaluate and install the right one.

## Step 1: Search

Run a search using the user's query. If $ARGUMENTS is provided, use it as the search query. Otherwise, infer the need from the conversation context.

```bash
curl -s "https://skillget.dev/api/v1/search?q=$ARGUMENTS&limit=5"
```

You can filter by type if the user specifies:
```bash
curl -s "https://skillget.dev/api/v1/search?q=$ARGUMENTS&type=mcp&limit=5"
```

Valid types: `skill`, `agent`, `mcp`, `workflow`
Valid sorts: `top`, `trending`, `new`, `updated`

## Step 2: Evaluate results

For each result, consider:
- **Relevance**: Does it match what the user needs?
- **Trust signals**: Stars count, rating, review count, verified status
- **Security audit**: Pass/Warn/Fail status
- **Compatible CLIs**: Does it support the user's current CLI?
- **Install command**: Is there one available?

If a result looks promising but you need more detail, fetch the full listing:
```bash
curl -s "https://skillget.dev/api/v1/listings/SLUG_HERE"
```

This returns tags, full audit results and additional metadata.

## Step 3: Recommend

Present the best match(es) to the user with:
- Name and description
- Why it fits their need
- Star count and rating
- Audit status (if available)
- Install command

## Step 4: Install

When the user approves, run the install command:
```bash
INSTALL_COMMAND_HERE
```

If no install command is available, show the repository URL so the user can install manually.

## Guidelines

- Always search before recommending. Do not guess or make up tools.
- Prefer verified listings and those with a "pass" audit status.
- Prefer listings with higher ratings and more stars.
- If no results found, tell the user and suggest broadening the search query.
- Never install without user confirmation.
- If multiple good options exist, present top 2-3 and let the user choose.
