Workflow#

When user asks about skill rankings or recommendations:

1. Check database - If empty or outdated, run --update first
2. List or search - Show ranked results
3. Provide details - Use --info for specific skills
4. Help install - Use --install to guide or execute installation

Ranking Algorithm#

Skills are scored based on:

• Downloads (60%) - Popularity indicator
• Stars (40%) - Community endorsement

Score = min(log₁₀(downloads + 1) × 15, 60) + min(log₁₀(stars + 1) × 20, 40)
