Curated by Skill Harbor: a search-before-you-build workflow for skill creation, from the ECC framework but usable by any Claude Code user. Before writing a new skill, it captures intent (the task, trigger conditions, domain, keywords plus synonyms), searches local sources first (~/.claude/skills and marketplace installs via find and grep, preferred because they are already part of your environment), then remote sources (gh search repos and code, at most three targeted web queries), vets every external match (reads the SKILL.md, looks for unexpected shell commands, file writes, network calls, credential handling, package installs, checks repo maintenance), ranks up to 10 candidates, and presents a decision table: use existing, fork or extend, or create fresh. Only create after the user chooses that path or no close match exists. Salvaged from stale community PR #1232 by redminwang. From the affaan-m/ECC repository (MIT). Honest caveats: written for the SKILL.md ecosystem (Claude Code paths, gh CLI); the remote search steps assume your agent has GitHub and web search tooling. It never installs anything by itself; the anti-patterns explicitly forbid installing external skills unread or editing marketplace originals in place. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use.

Install
Copy the install package below, then paste it into MuseThe install prompt below already includes the vetting steps: your agent follows the community checklist before installing anything with executable code. Want more?
Use "Skill Scout" with your Muse. 1. Open the skill: https://github.com/affaan-m/ECC/blob/main/skills/skill-scout/SKILL.md and copy the full SKILL.md text. 2. Paste it into a chat with Muse and add: "Is there already a skill for [your workflow]?" or "I want to create a skill for [task]; scout first." 3. Let it search local, marketplace, GitHub, and web sources, then pick from its decision table: use existing, fork or extend, or create fresh. Tip: local installed skills rank first because they are already part of your environment; prefer copying a match into a fresh branch over editing marketplace originals. Safety: a skill is plain-text instructions; it runs nothing by itself. Read every external SKILL.md before adopting or forking it; never install one unread.

Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
