Implementation Reference
- superpowers-mcp.js:220-254 (handler)The handler for the 'find_skills' tool within the CallToolRequestSchema request handler. It discovers skills in personal and superpowers directories using findSkillsInDir, formats a list, and returns it as text content.if (name === 'find_skills') { const personalSkills = findSkillsInDir(personalSkillsDir, 'personal', 3); const superpowersSkills = findSkillsInDir(superpowersSkillsDir, 'superpowers', 3); const allSkills = [...personalSkills, ...superpowersSkills]; if (allSkills.length === 0) { return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: 'No skills found. Install superpowers skills to ~/.augment/superpowers/skills/ or add personal skills to ~/.augment/skills/' }] }; } let output = 'Available skills:\n\n'; for (const skill of allSkills) { const namespace = skill.sourceType === 'personal' ? '' : 'superpowers:'; const skillName = skill.name || path.basename(skill.path); output += `${namespace}${skillName}\n`; if (skill.description) { output += ` ${skill.description}\n`; } output += ` Directory: ${skill.path}\n\n`; } return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: output }] }; }
- superpowers-mcp.js:188-196 (registration)Registration of the 'find_skills' tool in the tools list returned by ListToolsRequestSchema handler, including its description and input schema (no parameters required).{ name: 'find_skills', description: 'List all available skills in the personal and superpowers skill libraries.', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: {}, required: [] } },
- superpowers-mcp.js:95-129 (helper)Helper function used by the 'find_skills' handler to recursively scan directories for SKILL.md files, extract frontmatter metadata, and collect skill information.function findSkillsInDir(dir, sourceType, maxDepth = 3) { const skills = []; if (!fs.existsSync(dir)) return skills; function recurse(currentDir, depth) { if (depth > maxDepth) return; const entries = fs.readdirSync(currentDir, { withFileTypes: true }); for (const entry of entries) { const fullPath = path.join(currentDir, entry.name); if (entry.isDirectory()) { const skillFile = path.join(fullPath, 'SKILL.md'); if (fs.existsSync(skillFile)) { const { name, description } = extractFrontmatter(skillFile); skills.push({ path: fullPath, skillFile: skillFile, name: name || entry.name, description: description || '', sourceType: sourceType, dirName: entry.name }); } recurse(fullPath, depth + 1); } } } recurse(dir, 0); return skills; }
