Purpose

Find skills across the watched registries. Search, preview, decide.

Load context

~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-builder-hub/CLAUDE.md → watched registries list.

Workflow

Step 1: Fetch registry indexes

For each watched registry:

• GitHub repos: fetch skills/ directory listing and each SKILL.md frontmatter (name + description).
• Marketplace-style registries: fetch the index.

Cache the index locally (references/registry-cache.json) so browsing is fast. Refresh cache if >7 days old or on request.

Step 2: Search

Match query against skill names and descriptions. Simple keyword match is fine — these are small enough that fuzzy search is overkill.

Also: browse by category if the registry organizes skills that way.

Step 3: Present matches

## Search: "[query]"

**Found [N] skills across [M] registries:**

### [skill-name]
**From:** [registry name]
**Description:** [from frontmatter]
[View full SKILL.md] [Install]

### [skill-name]
[...]

Step 4: Preview

On "view full SKILL.md": fetch and show the whole file. User reads it before deciding to install. No surprises.

Step 5: Add a registry

If the user has a URL to a registry not in the watchlist:

1. Fetch it, validate it's a skills repo (has skills/ or .claude-plugin/)
2. Show what's in it
3. Add to ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-builder-hub/CLAUDE.md → watched registries on confirmation

Default registries

• lpm-skills — 14 legal project management skills. Practice-agnostic. Good starting point.
• Space for others to be added as the ecosystem grows.

What this skill does not do

• Install anything. It browses. skill-installer installs.
• Rate or review skills. It shows you the SKILL.md; you judge.
• Search the whole internet. Only watched registries.
