What this skill does
Skill Discovery & Pre-Install Check Combined entry point for finding skills on GitHub and for evaluating a specific skill (URL or local path) before installing it. Overview Replaces the v1.2 split between /janitor-search and /janitor-precheck. The dispatcher picks the right mode from the argument shape. Search results are relevance-gated (a repo must carry a skill signal in its name/description/topics) and ranked by relevance before stars, so generic mega-repos don't crowd out actual skills. Argument Mode What runs --- --- --- Keyword(s) like seo or n8n workflows Discovery search.sh — find matching skills on GitHub --compare <skill-name> Comparison search.sh --compare — find alternatives to a local skill Full URL: https://github.com/user/skill Pre-install check precheck.sh — analyze before installing Short repo: user/skill Pre-install check precheck.sh (auto-expanded to URL) Local path: ~/path/to/skill Pre-install check precheck.sh (local folder) Prerequisites Claude Code with the skills-janitor plugin installed (provides scripts/discover.sh, search.sh, precheck.sh, compare.sh) bash 3.2+ and curl Network access to api.github.com (anonymous OK; set GITHUBTOKEN for higher rate limits and code search) Instructions Step 1: Dispatch on argument shape Examples: discover.sh seo — search for SEO-related skills discover.sh n8n --limit 20 — top 20 n8n skills discover.sh --compare marketing-seo-audit — alternatives to a local skill discover.sh https://github.com/user/my-skill — check before installing discover.sh user/my-skill — same, short form Step 2: Present results per mode Discovery mode — ranked list of GitHub repos with skill name, description, stars, last updated, and a one-line verdict. Pre-install mode — overlap analysis: which of the user's existing skills (including plugin skills) overlap with the candidate by description, and a recommendation to install / skip / replace. Output Discovery: a numbered table (repository, stars, updated, INSTALLED/AVAILABLE status). …
