description: Discover and install AI skills from Nacos. Use when users want to find or install skills from a team's Nacos server.

Find Skills from Nacos

This skill helps you discover and install AI skills from a Nacos configuration center using the nacos-cli tool.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user:

• Asks "how do I do X" where X might be a task with an existing skill in Nacos
• Says "find a skill for X" or "is there a skill in Nacos for X"
• Asks "what skills are available" or "list skills from Nacos"
• Wants to search for tools, templates, or workflows stored in Nacos
• Needs to download or install a skill from a team/organization's Nacos server
• Mentions they want to share or discover skills within their team

What is nacos-cli?

The nacos-cli is a command-line tool for managing AI skills stored in a Nacos configuration center. Think of Nacos as a private skill registry for teams and organizations.

GitHub: https://github.com/nacos-group/nacos-cli

Key commands:

• nacos-cli skill-list - Search and list available skills
• nacos-cli skill-get <name> - Download and install a skill locally
• nacos-cli skill-upload <path> - Publish a skill to Nacos
• nacos-cli skill-sync <name> - Keep a skill synchronized in real-time

How to Help Users Find and Install Skills

Step 1: Ensure nacos-cli is Available

Check if nacos-cli is installed:

which nacos-cli

If not found, install it from source:

git clone https://github.com/nacos-group/nacos-cli.git
cd nacos-cli && go build -o nacos-cli
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
cp nacos-cli ~/.local/bin/
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

To make the PATH change permanent, add the following line to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc:

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

Step 2: Resolve Configuration

The default config file path is ~/.find-skill-from-nacos.conf. Check if it exists:

cat ~/.find-skill-from-nacos.conf

If the config file exists, use it directly for all subsequent commands:

nacos-cli --config ~/.find-skill-from-nacos.conf skill-list

If the config file does NOT exist, ask the user to choose one of the following options:

1. Provide an existing config file path - User has a config file elsewhere. Use it directly, no need to save.
2. Use default configuration - Use the built-in defaults (127.0.0.1:8848, nacos/nacos). Save to ~/.find-skill-from-nacos.conf.
3. Input custom configuration - User provides host, port, username, password, namespace. Save to ~/.find-skill-from-nacos.conf.

For options 2 and 3, save the configuration to ~/.find-skill-from-nacos.conf so it can be reused next time:

# ~/.find-skill-from-nacos.conf
host: 127.0.0.1
port: 8848
username: nacos
password: nacos
namespace: ""

Step 3: Understand What They Need

When a user asks for help, identify:

1. The domain (e.g., code review, testing, deployment, documentation)
2. The specific task (e.g., writing tests, reviewing PRs, generating docs)
3. Whether this is a common enough task that a skill likely exists in Nacos

Step 4: Search for Skills

Run the skill-list command with the resolved config:

nacos-cli --config ~/.find-skill-from-nacos.conf skill-list

To filter by name:

nacos-cli --config ~/.find-skill-from-nacos.conf skill-list --name <keyword>

For example:

• User asks "can you help me review code?" -> nacos-cli skill-list --name review
• User asks "is there a skill for testing?" -> nacos-cli skill-list --name test
• User asks "what skills do we have?" -> nacos-cli skill-list

The command returns results in this format:

Skill List (Total: N)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
  1. <skill-name> - <description>
  2. <skill-name> - <description>
  ...

Step 5: Present Options to the User

When you find relevant skills, present them clearly:

1. Summarize what skills were found
2. Highlight the most relevant skill(s) based on user's needs
3. Provide the install command

Example response:

I found N skills in Nacos. The most relevant one for your needs is:

**<skill-name>** - <description>

To install it:
nacos-cli --config ~/.find-skill-from-nacos.conf skill-get <skill-name>

This will download the skill to ~/.skills/ and make it available immediately.
Would you like me to install it?

Step 6: Install the Skill

If the user wants to proceed, download and install the skill:

nacos-cli --config ~/.find-skill-from-nacos.conf skill-get <skill-name>

The skill will be downloaded to ~/.skills/ by default. To install to a custom location:

nacos-cli --config ~/.find-skill-from-nacos.conf skill-get <skill-name> -o /custom/path

After installation, confirm the skill is available by checking the directory:

ls ~/.skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md

Connection Reference

Command-line flags (can override config file settings):

When No Skills Are Found

If no relevant skills exist in Nacos:

1. Acknowledge that no existing skill was found
2. Offer to help with the task directly using general capabilities
3. Suggest creating and publishing a new skill

Example:

I searched for skills related to "xyz" in Nacos but didn't find any matches.
I can still help you with this task directly! Would you like me to proceed?

If this is something your team does often, you could create a skill and
publish it to Nacos for everyone:
nacos-cli skill-upload /path/to/your-skill --config ~/.find-skill-from-nacos.conf

Tips for Effective Use

1. Use specific keywords: "react testing" is better than just "testing" when filtering
2. Try alternative terms: If "deploy" doesn't work, try "deployment" or "ci-cd"
3. Check namespaces: Different teams may store skills in different Nacos namespaces - use -n <namespace> to switch
4. Use config files: Save connection details to avoid typing credentials repeatedly
5. Keep skills updated: Use nacos-cli skill-sync --all to keep local skills in sync with Nacos
