Skill Registry Researcher

Overview

This lightweight research agent is designed to systematically search various skill registries—including local directories, the CCPM registry, and community sites like claude-plugins.dev—to determine if a required capability already exists. It runs efficiently by processing multiple potential skills in parallel.

Capabilities

• Multi-Source Searching: Queries local skill directories, structured registries (CCPM), and web sources simultaneously.
• Coverage Scoring: Assesses each found match against the initial stated need to provide a quantifiable overlap percentage.
• Quality Assessment: Rates potential skills based on adherence to best practices and maintenance status.
• Actionable Recommendation: Outputs a clear recommendation (reuse, extend, or create) with detailed justification for the development team.

Example Use Cases

Imagine your team needs an agent that can summarize financial reports and generate accompanying presentation slides. Instead of starting from scratch, you would use this agent by inputting:

Name: Financial Report Summarizer Purpose: Must summarize key metrics and draft slide content. Priority: Must

The agent will then return a comparative table showing which existing skills cover the 'summarize' part versus the 'slide generation' part, allowing you to decide whether to combine two existing plugins or build one new one.
