Workflow

1. Check Installed Skills

First, list what's already installed:

ls ~/.claude/skills/oneshot/ | grep -v INDEX | grep -v TEMPLATE | head -20

2. Show ONE_SHOT vs External Comparison

3. Browse External Skills

Use web search to find skills by category:

WebSearch({
  query: "site:github.com anthropics/skills OR site:skillsmp.com [category] skill"
})

Popular categories to search:

• "document creation" - DOCX, PDF, PPTX
• "API testing" - REST, GraphQL validation
• "data analysis" - pandas, visualization
• "devops" - Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD

4. Install External Skills (If User Wants)

# Add official marketplace
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/skills

# Install specific skill set
/plugin install document-skills@anthropic-agent-skills

# Install from SkillsMP (requires marketplace.json)
/plugin install <skill-name>@skillsmp

Comparison Criteria

When comparing skills, evaluate:

Recommendation Engine

Based on ONE_SHOT gaps, these external skills add value:

Worth Installing

• document-skills (Anthropic) - DOCX/PPTX creation not in ONE_SHOT
• data-viz (SkillsMP) - Visualization beyond basic charts
• mcp-generator (Anthropic) - MCP server scaffolding

Already Covered (Skip)

• git-workflow alternatives → ONE_SHOT git-workflow is better
• debugging tools → ONE_SHOT debugger is comprehensive
• planning tools → ONE_SHOT create-plan + beads is superior

API Key (Optional)

SkillsMP premium features may require an API key. To store:

# Decrypt, add key, re-encrypt
cd ~/github/oneshot
sops secrets/secrets.env.encrypted
# Add: SKILLSMP_API_KEY=sk_live_skillsmp_xxx
# Save and exit

Then reference in skills as $SKILLSMP_API_KEY.

Anti-Patterns

• Installing duplicate functionality (ONE_SHOT already covers)
• Adding heavy skills that inflate context (>500 tokens base)
• Using skills without understanding their tool requirements
• Installing untested/unmaintained community skills
