name: agex-discover description: Search the agex registry for rules, skills, MCP servers, hooks, and agents. Use when the user needs a new tool, config, or capability for their project. Automatically searches, evaluates, and installs via agex CLI.

agex Discover

When the user needs a capability that isn't currently available in the project, search agex.dev for it.

How to search

# Search by keyword
agex search "nextjs typescript rules"

# Search with filters (use --json for structured output)
agex search "mcp server postgres" --json

How to evaluate

Before recommending an artifact, check:

1. Vote count — higher = more community trust
2. Download count — higher = actively used
3. Description — does it match what the user needs?
4. Platform support — does it work with the user's platform?
5. Last updated — is it actively maintained?

Use agex info @user/slug for full details including README and version history.

How to install

# Add to agex.toml and sync to disk
agex add @user/artifact-slug

# For one-time use without installing
agex run @user/artifact-slug

When to use this skill

• User says "I need a..." or "Is there a..."
• User is setting up a new project (agex init first)
• User wants to improve their agent setup
• A task would benefit from a skill/hook/MCP server that doesn't exist locally

Important

• Always show the user what you found before installing
• Explain what each artifact does and why you recommend it
• Respect the user's agex.toml — don't install duplicates
• Suggest agex run for one-time use, agex add for permanent installation
