browse-and-evaluate
Use when exploring the ai-agent-skills catalog to find, compare, and evaluate skills before installing. Always use --fields to limit output size and --dry-run before committing to an install.
npx skills add MoizIbnYousaf/Ai-Agent-Skills --skill browse-and-evaluate --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Browse And Evaluate ## Goal Find the right skill for a task without flooding the context window or installing blindly. ## Guardrails - Always use `--fields` on list/search/info to keep output small. Default: `--fields name,tier,workArea,description`. - Always use `--dry-run` before installing anything. - Never install more than 3 skills at once without explicit user confirmation. - Prefer `--format json` in non-interactive pipelines. The CLI defaults to JSON when stdout is not a TTY. - Use `--limit` when browsing large catalogs. Start with `--limit 10`. ## Workflow 1. Search or browse the catalog. ```bash npx ai-agent-skills search <query> --fields name,tier,workArea,description --limit 10 ``` 2. Get details on a candidate. ```bash npx ai-agent-skills info <skill-name> --fields name,description,tags,collections,installCommands ``` 3. Preview the skill content. ```bash npx ai-agent-skills preview <skill-name> ``` 4. Dry-run the install. ```bash npx ai-agent-skills install <skill-name> --dry-run ``` 5. Install only after reviewing the dry-run output. ```bash npx ai-agent-skills install <skill-name> ``` ## Gotchas - The `preview` command sanitizes skill content to strip prompt injec

What does the browse-and-evaluate skill do?
Use when exploring the ai-agent-skills catalog to find, compare, and evaluate skills before installing. Always use --fields to limit output size and --dry-run before committing to an install.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add MoizIbnYousaf/Ai-Agent-Skills --skill browse-and-evaluate --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From MoizIbnYousaf/Ai-Agent-Skills, a repository with 1,114 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
