# Skyll - Agent Skill Discovery

Skyll enables agents to dynamically discover and retrieve skills at runtime. Instead of having all skills pre-loaded, agents can search for relevant skills on-demand and inject them into context.

## When to Use This Skill

Use Skyll when:
- The current task requires specialized knowledge or workflows not in context
- Looking for best practices for a specific framework, library, or domain
- Needing procedural knowledge for complex multi-step tasks
- Wanting to enhance capabilities with community-contributed skills

## Quick Usage

### Option 1: Python Client (Recommended)

```python
from skyll import Skyll

async with Skyll() as client:
    # Search for relevant skills
    skills = await client.search("react performance optimization", limit=3)
    
    for skill in skills:
        print(f"Skill: {skill.title}")
        print(f"Score: {skill.relevance_score}")
        print(skill.content)  # Full SKILL.md content
```

### Option 2: REST API

Search for skills:
```bash
curl "https://api.skyll.app/search?q=react+performance&limit=3"
```

Get a specific skill:
```bash
curl "https://api.skyll.app/skills/anthropics/skills/skill-creator"
```

## Response Format

The API returns ranked skills with relevance scores (0-100):

```json
{
  "query": "react performance",
  "count": 3,
  "skills": [
    {
      "id": "react-best-practices",
      "title": "React Best Practices",
      "description": "Performance optimization for React and Next.js",
      "source": "vercel-labs/agent-skills",
      "relevance_score": 85.5,
      "install_count": 82800,
      "content": "# React Best Practices\n\n## Performance\n..."
    }
  ]
}
```

## Key Fields

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `id` | Skill identifier |
| `title` | Human-readable title |
| `description` | What the skill does |
| `source` | GitHub repository (owner/repo) |
| `relevance_score` | 0-100 match score |
| `install_count` | Popularity from skills.sh |
| `content` | Full SKILL.md markdown content |
| `references` | Additional reference files (if requested) |

## Search Parameters

| Parameter | Default | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------------|
| `q` / `query` | required | Search query |
| `limit` | 10 | Max results (1-50) |
| `include_content` | true | Fetch full SKILL.md content |
| `include_references` | false | Include reference files |

## Example Workflow

When an agent needs to build a React Native app but lacks mobile expertise:

1. **Search for relevant skills:**
   ```python
   skills = await client.search("react native best practices", limit=2)
   ```

2. **Inject top skill into context:**
   ```python
   context = skills[0].content  # Full SKILL.md content
   ```

3. **Use the skill's knowledge to complete the task**

## API Endpoints

| Endpoint | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `GET /search?q={query}` | Search skills |
| `POST /search` | Search with JSON body |
| `GET /skills/{source}/{skill_id}` | Get specific skill |
| `GET /health` | Health check |
| `GET /docs` | Interactive API documentation |

## Installation

For Python agents:
```bash
pip install skyll
```

For other languages, use the REST API directly at `https://api.skyll.app`.

Offers the user an informed choice about how much response depth to consume before answering. Use this skill when the user explicitly wants to control response length, depth, or token budget.

DO NOT TRIGGER when: user has already specified a level in the current session (maintain it), the request is clearly a one-word answer, or "token" refers to auth/session/payment tokens rather than response size.
