"I got Codex and installed deep-skill-finder, but I still can't use them"

"I have no idea what to type in Codex to make deep-skill-finder kick in. Every time I end up manually browsing the marketplace and copying things over — installing deep-skill-finder was pointless."

— Reddit, user asking for help

The problem isn't deep-skill-finder — it's that most people don't realize DSF is triggered by natural language. Just say something like "find me a skill for XXX and install it" in your task, and your Agent will invoke DSF to search, evaluate, and install — all without leaving your current task.

Prerequisite — must install

Haven't installed deep-skill-finder yet? Install it first, then learn the trigger phrases

The 3 trigger phrases below all require deep-skill-finder (DSF) to be installed first — only then can your Agent recognize and invoke it.
DSF is a "meta-skill that finds Skills." Install it once, and from then on, whatever you ask for, the Agent automatically searches, evaluates, and installs matching Skills for you.

Copy the command below and paste it to Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / WorkBuddy — your Agent will handle the installation automatically:

Please install the deep-skill-finder skill: download from https://www.meyo.life/skill-finder, unpack into your local skill directory and enable it.

Once installed, scroll down to the 3 trigger phrases — copy and paste any of them to your Agent to get started.

3 real-world scenarios — copy one phrase and go

Scenario 1

I don't know the name of the skill I needBronze

"Is there a skill that can do XXX? I don't know what it's called"

This is the most common case: you want your Agent to do something but don't know the skill name — or even whether one exists. Just describe what you need and let DSF search for it.

Find a skill for daily stock market recap and install it

Keyword-based scenario description — DSF matches stock-review (1,457 installs) and china-a-stocks-daily-review (857 installs), then semantically picks the best match to install.

Is there a skill for viral social media content analysis? Install one

"Is there a XX?" plus "install one" — DSF matches xhs-daily-ranking (884 installs) and xhs-explosive-detector (680 installs); the Agent searches and confirms before installing.

Find and install a skill that generates flowcharts

Vague scenario — just describe the function. DSF matches flowchart (1,188 installs) and api-flow-diagram-creator (2,518 installs), then finds the best match.

Scenario 2

I know what I want to do — but which skill should I install?Silver

"I know I need to do XXX — but which skill is the best fit?"

You know the category, but there are many similar skills available. Let DSF compare and pick the best one — instead of opening every README yourself.

Build a feature comparison matrix for Notion, Slack, and Microsoft Teams — find and install the best comparison skill

"Compare 3 products" — DSF matches product-compare (1,398 installs) and competitive-analysis-zh (665 installs), then finds the highest-rated comparison skill.

I need real-time stock market capital flow and main net inflow monitoring — find and install the most popular skill

High keyword density plus a sort preference (by install count) — DSF matches capital-flow-analysis (1,244 installs) and a-stock-real-time-monitor (1,120 installs), hitting the most active stock tools.

LaTeX paper formatting, reference management, submission templates — find and install an academic workflow skill

Three consecutive academic keywords — DSF matches academic-writing-latex (2,858 installs) and latex-ecosystem-guide (2,858 installs), covering the full academic workflow.

Scenario 3

Say nothing — the Agent finds Skills on its ownKing

"Once deep-skill-finder is installed, the Agent figures out what it's missing on its own"

King tier: you don't need trigger phrases at all. Once DSF is installed, the Agent automatically recognizes "this problem needs a new skill" mid-task, invokes DSF to search, evaluate, and install — with zero interruption. This is what an Agent Skill foundation should look like.

Write a complete PRD for a "user points mall" feature — include the feature list, business flow diagram, and acceptance criteria

The user just describes the task itself — DSF matches prd-writer-pro (1,686 installs) and pm-prd (597 installs); the Agent auto-installs the PRD skill when it's needed.

Search for key papers on RAG technology in knowledge QA from the last two years — organize them into a literature review table with title, method, and conclusion

The task doesn't even mention "skill" — DSF matches rag-methodology-guide (2,877 installs) and lit-review (2,871 installs); the Agent auto-installs literature search and review skills.

Generate an icon size specification document for both iOS and Android — list all export sizes and naming conventions

Design spec task — DSF matches icon-system (1,840 installs); the Agent auto-installs a UI/UX skill to get it done.

3 tips to make deep-skill-finder even smarter

1. Include "install it" in your trigger phrase

Saying only "find a skill for XXX" usually gets you a recommendation, not an installation. Add "install it" or "install and continue" to trigger the actual install action.

2. Ask it to "compare multiple candidates" for better quality

"Find 3, pick the best" returns much higher quality than "find one." DSF will compare multiple candidates instead of returning the first result it finds.

3. The more specific the scenario, the better

"Design a social media cover image" yields more precise skills than "write copy." The more specific your scenario keywords, the better DSF matches your intent.

FAQ

Q: What is deep-skill-finder?

A: deep-skill-finder (DSF) is a "skill that finds skills." After installing it, you can use natural language to have your Agent (Codex, Claude, Cursor) automatically search, evaluate, and install other skills — no more manually browsing marketplaces or GitHub.

Q: How do I know if I've already installed deep-skill-finder?

A: Open your Agent's skills directory — usually ~/.claude/skills/ or ~/.codex/skills/ — and check whether a deep-skill-finder folder exists. Or simply ask your Agent, "Can you help me find a skill?" If DSF is installed, the Agent will proactively trigger a search.

Q: I pasted a trigger phrase into Codex but nothing happened — what do I do?

A: Three common causes: (1) The Agent wasn't restarted — manually reload your skills. (2) DSF was installed in the wrong directory — move it to the correct skills directory. (3) The trigger phrase didn't include "install it" — DSF only recommended a skill instead of installing it.

Q: Can I write my own trigger phrases? Is there a pattern?

A: Absolutely. Three rules: (1) Include "install it" or "continue" to express install intent. (2) Add "find N, pick one" for better comparison quality. (3) The more specific the scenario keywords, the better (e.g., "design a social media cover image" is more precise than "write copy").

Q: What if deep-skill-finder can't find the skill I want?

A: It's possible the Skill Marketplace simply doesn't have a matching skill yet. You can: (1) try broader keywords and search again; (2) post on the Meyo community for help — 100+ users can recommend skills there; (3) use skill-creator to build one yourself — DSF supports custom skills.
