Finding the right skill shouldn't be harder than building it yourself.
When you need a capability, you shouldn't have to:
- Wonder if a solution already exists
- Manually browse multiple marketplaces
- Guess which skills are actually high-quality
Skill Compass searches across sources using multi-field retrieval and returns ranked recommendations with quality signals (e.g., GitHub stars), so you can quickly find the best option.
1. You: "I need a skill for CI/CD automation"
2. Skill Compass:
├── Builds structured query from your intent
├── Calls search API with query fields
├── (Optional) Asks one clarification question if needed
└── Returns 1-3 ranked recommendations
3. You: Select the best match
└── Skill Compass learns from your feedback
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Smart Retrieval | Jointly searches over name, description, and usage context for better relevance |
| Quality Signals | Shows relevance + GitHub stars |
| Clarification Loop | Asks one targeted question if results are ambiguous |
| Feedback Telemetry | Continuously improves ranking |
You can register this repository as a Claude Code Plugin marketplace by running the following command in Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add LittleDinoC/skill-compass/plugin install skill-compass@skill-compassnpx skills add https://github.com/LittleDinoC/skill-compass --skill skill-compassYou can download the specific skill folder and place it in your skills directory.
# Navigate to your skills directory (e.g., for OpenClaw)
cd ~/.openclaw/skills
# Extract only the specific skill folder
npx degit LittleDinoC/skill-compass/skills/skill-compass skill-compassNote: This installs only the skill-compass package without cloning the entire repository history.
The skill activates automatically when you ask your agent to discover, find, or search for skills.
Simple search:
You: "Find me a skill for git commit conventions"

2. Test Generation — Generate comprehensive tests for existing code (multi-language)
3. Language-Specific Testing — Focused testing for specific languages (Python, C++, etc.)
You: "End-to-end testing"
Skill Compass:
> Refined search...

| Clear intent | Returns top recommendations immediately |
| Ambiguous results | Asks exactly one clarification question |
| No results | Prompts for refined intent |
| User verdict | Sends feedback for ranking improvement |
Skill Compass is the practical extension of our paper Multi-Field Tool Retrieval. While the paper proposes a framework for retrieving tools across multiple metadata fields, this project brings those insights into a functional search engine for AI agents.
