What does the threads-profile-search skill do?
Discovers Threads user accounts by keyword, extracting profile data including username, display name, verification status, biography, and follower count. Use when user asks to find Threads accounts, search Threads profiles, discover Threads users by keyword, look up Threads creators, find influencers on Threads, search for people on Threads, get Threads user details, collect Threads profile information, find accounts related to a topic on Threads, search Threads for accounts by name or keyword, or enumerate Threads users matching a search term.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add browser-act/skills --skill threads-profile-search --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 browser-act/skills, a repository with 5,160 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.
