Marketplace Discovery CLI Demo

What You'll See

Searching the Marketplace

Query the marketplace catalog with a single command. Results include name, type, tags, and description — everything you need to decide without opening a browser.

skillmeat search "api" --collection my-collection

What's happening: - The search queries your marketplace catalog - No network round-trip for seeded collections - Results show artifact name, type, tags, and description - You can decide whether to install directly from the terminal

Viewing Baseline Inventory

Before installing, check what you already have in your collection.

skillmeat list --collection my-collection

What's happening: - You see the current state of your collection - The artifact you found in search isn't installed yet - This baseline helps you understand what will change after install

Installing from the Marketplace

Add the artifact you found with a single command. No prompts, no configuration.

skillmeat add skill <source> --collection my-collection --dangerously-skip-permissions --force

What's happening: - The CLI installs the artifact instantly - --force makes it idempotent — safe for scripts and CI pipelines - --dangerously-skip-permissions suppresses the interactive review (use with caution) - No restart or sync needed — the change is immediate

Confirming the Install

Run list again to verify your new artifact is in the collection.

skillmeat list --collection my-collection

What's happening: - Your newly installed artifact appears in the inventory - Same query you ran in the baseline now shows the updated state - The discovery loop is complete: search → add → list

Key Takeaways

  • Instant discovery: Search results appear in the terminal without opening a browser
  • One-command install: Point at a source and it's added to your collection
  • Safe for automation: The --force flag makes the workflow idempotent
  • Immediate feedback: Changes are queryable right after install
