Tool Discovery Skill for Claude

Tool Discovery

Recommend the right agents and skills for any task.

Decision Flowchart

Is this a reference/lookup task?
├── YES → Use a SKILL (lightweight, auto-injects)
└── NO → Does it require reasoning/decisions?
         ├── YES → Use an AGENT (heavyweight, spawns subagent)
         └── MAYBE → Check catalogs below

Rule: Skills = patterns/reference. Agents = decisions/expertise.

For Cloudflare/Workers, Cypress/E2E, shell scripting, Claude Code extension work, and CMS/device domains (Payload, Craft, Asus routers), use the matching -ops skill (cloudflare-ops, cypress-ops, bash-ops, claude-code-ops, payloadcms-ops, craftcms-ops, asus-router-ops). For language/framework work (Python, TypeScript, React, Postgres, etc.), use the matching -ops skill — or dispatch general-purpose with an instruction to read that skill's SKILL.md first.

How to Launch

Skills:

Skill tool → skill: "file-search"

Agents:

Task tool → subagent_type: "firecrawl-expert"
         → prompt: "Your task"

Match by Task Type

| Task | Skill First | Agent If Needed |

|------|-------------|-----------------|

| "How to write a CTE?" | sql-ops | — |

| "Optimize this query" | postgres-ops | — |

| "Find files named X" | file-search | Explore |

| "Set up Python project" | python-env | — |

| "What HTTP status for X?" | rest-ops | — |

| "React Server Components?" | react-ops | — |

| "Vue 3 composable pattern" | vue-ops | — |

| "Configure nginx SSL" | nginx-ops | — |

| "JWT vs session auth" | auth-ops | — |

| "Set up Prometheus" | monitoring-ops | — |

| "Debug memory leak" | debug-ops | — |

| "Scrape a blocked site" | jina-ops | firecrawl-expert |

Tips

• Skills are cheaper - Use for lookups, patterns
• Agents are powerful - Use for decisions, optimization
• Don't over-recommend - Max 2-3 tools per task
