Find subject matter experts on a topic, technology, or internal system by combining real expertise signals (code contributions, document authorship, and meeting or discussion activity) rather than relying on job titles. Use this whenever the user wants to know who to ask about something — phrasings such as who knows about, who is the expert on, the go-to person for, who has worked on, who can I ask about, or subject matter expert for. Use it even when the user does not say the word expert but clearly needs a person with deep, demonstrated knowledge of an area. Do not use it for plain directory lookups (an email address, manager, or org placement with no expertise angle), which is a simple employee lookup.

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/gleanwork/claude-plugins /tmp/claude-plugins && ln -s /tmp/claude-plugins/plugins/glean/skills/find-expert ~/.claude/skills/find-expert
```

## From README

Find Expert Find people who actually know about a topic — not just by org chart, but by real contributions and activity. Clarify the topic Work from the topic the user named. If it is ambiguous, ask a brief clarifying question before searching — for example, whether they need someone to answer questions, review code, or make a decision, and whether this is a specific internal system or a general technology. A single sentence of clarification is enough; don't interrogate.
