About This Skill
The gather skill enables AI agents to discover and install other skills within the TrustedSkills registry. It acts as a foundational utility, allowing agents to dynamically expand their functional capabilities by fetching available tools from the repository.
When to use it
- Initial Setup: Configure an agent's environment before deploying complex workflows that require multiple specialized tools.
- Dynamic Expansion: Allow an agent to self-update its toolkit when new skills are published to the registry.
- Capability Discovery: Query the registry to list available options for a specific task domain (e.g., data analysis or web browsing).
- Dependency Resolution: Ensure all necessary sub-skills are present before executing a multi-step orchestration plan.
Key capabilities
- Scans the TrustedSkills repository for registered tools.
- Retrieves metadata and descriptions of available skills.
- Facilitates the installation process for selected skills into the agent's context.
Example prompts
- "Find all data processing skills available in the registry and list their names."
- "Install the 'web_search' skill so I can perform live lookups later."
- "Gather a list of communication tools compatible with my current agent configuration."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure the AI agent has network access to reach the TrustedSkills registry endpoint, as discovery requires external connectivity. Be aware that installing a skill may take time depending on the agent's execution environment and the size of the package being fetched.

TrustedSkills Verification
Unlike other registries that point to live repositories, TrustedSkills pins every skill to a verified commit hash. This protects you from malicious updates — what you install today is exactly what was reviewed and verified.
