Reference

What are agent skills?

An agent skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md file that teaches an AI coding agent how to do one thing well. The file carries a name and a description in YAML frontmatter, then plain-English instructions in the body. The agent reads the description to decide when the skill is relevant, and loads the body only once it is — so a skill costs almost nothing until the moment it is needed.

Because a skill is just markdown in a folder, it is portable. The same skill works across Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and other agents that have adopted the format, and it lives in version control next to the code it describes.

This directory indexes 192 of them across 16 categories, covering 8 platform targets. Each listing links to the upstream repository, shows the real SKILL.mdwhere one is published, and reports commit and contributor activity scoped to that skill’s own path — never a vanity install count.

Agent skills vs. MCP servers

They solve different halves of the same problem. A skill gives an agent knowledge — how your team writes React, how to run a migration safely, what your design system allows. An MCP server gives an agent access — a live connection to a database, an API or a file system. Skills are instructions; MCP servers are tools. Most real setups use both, which is what workflow bundles package together.

How to install one

Every listing carries the install command for its source. In general there are two routes: drop the skill folder into your agent’s skills directory by hand, or install it from its repository with a package manager such as the Skills CLI. Individual pages document whichever the upstream author supports.
