Skill Finder
v1.3.0, MIT licensed
Skill Finder is a plugin for Codex and Claude Code that finds and compares tools for a task. Describe what you need, such as browser control or support for a file format, and it searches for existing skills, plugins, connectors, and packages.
Check before building it again
I built it after repeatedly spending time and tokens rebuilding things that already existed on GitHub. It gives me a recommendation with supporting sources and setup requirements.
Inspecting a candidate
Skill Finder checks where a tool comes from, whether it is maintained, what dependencies it needs, and how its claims can be verified. It looks at source files, documentation, tests, and installation instructions.
The recommendation explains why one option fits the task better than its closest alternatives. Anything it could not verify stays visible.
When one tool is not enough
Some tasks need several tools. Skill Finder recommends a combination, explains which part of the work each tool covers, and identifies any gaps.
If no suitable option exists, it can draft a specification and evaluation cases for the missing capability.
Available for Codex and Claude Code
Skill Finder is public under the MIT license. The repository includes installation instructions, examples, and validation checks for the plugin.
The linked release is version 1.3.0.
