Describe the task and outcome before searching for an appealing name. The pack searches, compares and can propose installation. Review instructions, files, maintenance and compatibility. Install counts indicate adoption, not quality or safety. If only two relevant candidates are found, present two despite template demands for more. Keep consultation dates with sources.
Prepare information
Concrete task, target environment and existing skills. Web search or CLI access is needed for current discovery. Identify versions and separate facts from assumptions before starting.
Fictional test example
Fictional example: one skill produces Markdown while another needs Python for PDF. They are not equivalent for native PDF output. Show the dependency and propose a small trial before replacing an existing tool.
Check the deliverable
Use current CLI documentation because pack examples may be old. Inspect candidates before installation and check a real output. Without search access, request links rather than claiming current discoveries.
