# CodeGuilds Finder
`<SKILL_DIR>` = the folder that contains this SKILL.md (normally `~/.claude/skills/codeguilds-finder`).
Resolve it once to an absolute path before running commands - PowerShell/cmd do not expand `~` inside quotes.
Discover and install Claude Code extensions from the **CodeGuilds** community registry
(`codeguilds.dev`) when the current task needs a capability you don't already have.
This is a **discovery + install** helper. It does **not** replace skills/tools you already
have — it fills genuine gaps by finding something the community already built.
## When to activate
Activate when **both** are true:
1. The current task needs a specialized capability (export X→Y, talk to service Z, a niche
workflow, a domain tool, an MCP integration, a hook), **and**
2. No built-in tool and no already-installed skill covers it.
Do **NOT** activate for things you can already do (reading/writing files, running bash, web
search, code edits, or any task an installed skill already handles). Searching the registry
on every task is noise — only reach for it on a real gap.
## How to run the CLI
A patched copy of the `codeguilds` CLI is vendored with this skill (see
[Why a vendored CLI](#why-a-vendored-cli)). Always call it through the launcher — never plain
`npx codeguilds` (the published 0.2.5 is broken):
```bash
bash "<SKILL_DIR>/scripts/cg.sh" <command> [args]
```
Available commands: `search <query>` · `info <slug>` · `install <slug>` · `list` · `uninstall <slug>`.
