You don't need to know what skills are.

A Claude Code plugin that automatically discovers and recommends capabilities — so you can focus on what you're building, not what tools exist.

한국어 · Getting Started · How It Works

The Problem

Claude Code has 883+ skills installed, with even more available on the marketplace and GitHub. But there's a catch: you have to know they exist to use them.

Most users never type /skill because they don't know that's a thing. They miss out on specialized capabilities for React, Kubernetes, Terraform, and hundreds of other tools — simply because nobody told them.

The Solution

skillless removes the knowledge barrier entirely.

• Smart planning — /plans analyzes your project and installs the right tools before you start planning.
• Automatic recommendations — Working with Docker? A specialized Docker tool gets suggested automatically. No commands needed.
• Explicit search — Need something specific? /discover kubernetes searches across all sources at once.
• Zero jargon — The plugin never says "skill" or "plugin" to users. It talks about "tools", "capabilities", and "expertise" instead.

Getting Started

Installation

One command:

npx skillless

That's it. The plugin is installed to ~/.claude/plugins/skillless.

git clone https://github.com/0oooooooo0/skillless.git
cc --plugin-dir /path/to/skillless

Usage

/plans — Plan with the right tools

The recommended way to use skillless. It analyzes your project, recommends tools, and enters plan mode — all in one step:

/plans React + Supabase dashboard with auth

What happens:

1. Scans package.json, tsconfig.json, and other project files
2. Detects your tech stack (React, Supabase, TypeScript, etc.)
3. Searches for matching tools across all sources
4. Shows recommendations and lets you pick what to install
5. Enters plan mode with the installed tools ready to use

Detected: React, TypeScript, Supabase
Already installed: typescript-expert

Recommended:
| # | Name                 | Source    | Description                    |
|---|----------------------|----------|--------------------------------|
| 1 | react-best-practices | skills.sh | React patterns and hooks      |
| 2 | supabase-automation  | skills.sh | Supabase auth and DB patterns |

Select tools to install (1,2 / skip):

Just work normally

You don't have to do anything special. When you're working with a specific framework or tool and a relevant capability exists, skillless will suggest it naturally:

By the way, I found a specialized tool for Kubernetes that can help with cluster setup, manifest generation, and troubleshooting. Would you like me to set it up?

Search explicitly

/discover react
/discover "ci/cd pipeline"
/discover terraform

This searches 3 sources and shows a unified result table:

| # | Name                 | Source    | Description                          | Installed |
|---|----------------------|----------|--------------------------------------|-----------|
| 1 | react-patterns       | local    | Advanced React patterns and hooks    | Yes       |
| 2 | vercel-labs/react    | skills.sh | React development patterns (12K+)   | No        |
| 3 | anthropics/react-pro | github   | React best practices collection      | No        |

Pick a number to install, or cancel to skip.

How It Works

skillless searches three sources, prioritizing what's already on your machine:

┌───────────────────────────────────────────┐
│          /plans  /discover                │
│           or auto-discovery               │
└───────────────────┬───────────────────────┘
                    │
       ┌────────────┼────────────┐
       ▼            ▼            ▼
  ┌─────────┐ ┌──────────┐ ┌────────┐
  │  Local   │ │skills.sh │ │ GitHub │
  │ ~/.claude│ │Directory │ │Search  │
  │ /skills/ │ │  (Web)   │ │(fallback)│
  └─────────┘ └──────────┘ └────────┘
       │            │            │
       └────────────┴────────────┘
                    │
                    ▼
             Unified Results
                    │
                    ▼
             skill-installer
        (confirm → install → verify)

1. Local — Scans ~/.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md for already-installed skills
2. skills.sh — Searches the open skill directory (install via npx skillsadd)
3. GitHub — Falls back to web search when other sources return few results

Installation flows

| Source | How it installs | |--------|----------------| | Already installed | Tells you it's ready to use | | skills.sh | Runs npx skillsadd <owner/repo> | | GitHub | Guides you to run /plugin install <url> or downloads SKILL.md directly |

Every installation requires explicit user confirmation. Nothing gets installed silently.
