# Skill Router ## When to Use Use this skill when: - The user says "I don't know where to start" or "which skill should I use" - The user has a vague goal without a clear method - The user asks "what should I use for..." or "I'm not sure how to approach this" - The user is new to the skill library and needs guidance ## Goal Help users who are unsure of what they want to do or which skill to use. Interview them with a short structured conversation, then recommend the most relevant skill(s) from the installed library — with a clear explanation of why each skill fits and exactly how to invoke it. --- ## Instructions ### Step 1 — Acknowledge and open the interview Respond warmly and tell the user you'll ask a few quick questions to find the right skill for them. Do NOT suggest any skills yet. Example opener: > "No problem — let me ask you a few quick questions so I can point you to > exactly the right skill." --- ### Step 2 — Ask the Funnel Questions (one at a time, in order) Ask only what you need. If an earlier answer makes a later question irrelevant, skip it. **Q1 — What is the broad area of the task?** Present these as numbered options: 1. Building / coding something (app, feature

About this skill
What does the skill-router skill do?

Use when the user is unsure which skill to use or where to start. Interviews the user with targeted questions and recommends the best skill(s) from the installed library for their goal.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill skill-router --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 sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 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.
