tool-discovery
Guide for discovering and using MCP tools via the discover_tools meta-tool. Use this skill when asked to perform tasks that require finding the right tools, when you see only discover_tools in your available tools, when asked "what tools are available", "find tools for X", or when planning multi-step workflows across Slack, WhatsApp, Google, or Slides.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill tool-discovery-orient-bot-orient-2 --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.
# Tool Discovery System This MCP server uses a **discovery-based tool loading pattern** to reduce context overhead. Instead of loading all 35+ tools upfront, only the `discover_tools` meta-tool is exposed. Use it to find and load the specific tools needed for your task. ## Quick Reference ``` # List all categories discover_tools({ mode: "list_categories" }) # Browse tools in a category discover_tools({ mode: "browse", category: "messaging" }) # Search by natural language discover_tools({ mode: "search", query: "send slack message" }) # Search by intent discover_tools({ mode: "search", intent: "check team blockers" }) ``` ## Tool Categories | Category | Tools | Use For | | ----------- | ----- | ---------------------------------------- | | `messaging` | 4 | Slack DMs, channel messages, user lookup | | `whatsapp` | 8 | Message history, contacts, groups, media | | `docs` | 11 | Google Slides, Sheets, presentations | | `google` | 8 | Calendar, Gmail, Tasks (OAuth) | | `apps` | 5 | Mini-app creation and management | | `agents` | 3 | Agent context and handoff | | `context` | 2 | Context management | | `media` | 1 | Image/video generation | | `system` | 2 | Health check, configuration | ##

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill tool-discovery-orient-bot-orient-2 --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 majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 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.
