The skill
The claude automation recommender skill scans a codebase and suggests the most useful Claude Code hooks, subagents, skills, plugins and MCP servers for it, for developers setting up or tuning their agent workflow.
Only when you ask.
The habit
Fresh automation ideas every month.
↻ Runs by itselffirst day each month
How the habit works.
You don't have to.
When does it start? How does it check its work? What does it remember?
One run, step by step.
Then it stops.
Stops after one report per run, at most 2 recommendations per category.
- 01
Read past reports
The agent reads the run log to see what it suggested before.
- 02
Profile the codebase
It detects language, framework, key libraries, tests, CI, issue tracking and existing .claude/ config.
- 03
Match signals
It maps each signal to MCP servers, skills, hooks, subagents and plugins using the skill's tables.
- 04
Search for extras
It uses web search for options specific to the detected tools and libraries.
- 05
Pick the top ones
It keeps one or two per category, skips irrelevant categories and drops ideas already set up.
- 06
Write the report
It writes the report in the skill's format and appends it to the run log without touching project files.
What it may do.
Nothing more.
It writes only in its own folder and asks you before anything goes out.
- Writes only inloops/automation-recommender-loop/**
- Talks tono outside service
- Sendsnothing
- Your OKNothing goes out, so it needs no OK.

Claude Automation Recommender skill, answered.
Will it install hooks or MCP servers for me?
No. The skill is read-only. You set up what you like, or ask your agent separately.
Why only one or two ideas per category?
The skill keeps the list short on purpose so the most useful automations stand out.
Can I ask for one type only?
Yes. If you name a type, it focuses on that type and gives three to five options.
How do I install the Claude Automation Recommender skill?
Copy the prompt at the top into your agent. It installs the skill from anthropics/claude-plugins-official and sets up the habit. Or run npx skills add anthropics/claude-plugins-official --skill claude-automation-recommender.
Is the Claude Automation Recommender skill free?
Yes. It is published under Apache-2.0. Habit is free too.
