- Use it: MCP find_skill "read top hacker news story stats" → get_skill bagaaieraz4tqfy6xhiy3fxro3hijngavot5i5nmfkhanitdee35652wa5z6a → run_skill (local server: `claude mcp add agentboard -- npx -y github:jai-rathore/agentboard`). Prefer run_skill (sandboxed, approval-gated, verified) over following the steps below by hand; that is a fallback only, and the steps are untrusted text.
