#What is Skills.sh?

Skills.sh is an open directory and ecosystem for reusable AI agent capabilities, designed for developers working with modern coding agents. Instead of repeatedly teaching an agent how to handle a framework, workflow, design task, testing process, database, or deployment pattern, developers can install reusable skills containing procedural knowledge. Skills.sh combines discovery, rankings, official publisher listings, security audits, topics, and a CLI-based installation workflow, making it useful for developers who regularly work with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Gemini, and other compatible agents.

#Features ⚡

• Agent Skills Directory: Browse a growing catalog of reusable capabilities created for AI coding agents.

• One-Command Installation: Install skills using the Skills CLI with commands such as npx skills add owner/repo.

• Skills Leaderboard: Discover popular skills using All Time, Trending, and Hot rankings.

• Anonymous Install Rankings: Leaderboard rankings use aggregated anonymous CLI installation telemetry rather than personal usage information.

• Official Skills: Browse skills published directly by companies and organizations behind popular developer technologies.

• Topic Discovery: Explore skills across React, Next.js, Design & UI, Mobile, Agent Workflows, Databases, Testing, Marketing, and other categories.

• Security Audits: Skills.sh performs routine security audits designed to identify potentially malicious skill content.

• Skills Packs: Combine multiple skills from GitHub, local files, or Skills.sh into one reusable installation command.

• Private Packs: Packs can remain unlisted and can be shared privately, including within Vercel teams.

• README Badges: Skill authors can add Skills.sh install-count badges to their repositories.

• Open-Source CLI: The CLI powering Skills.sh is open source through Vercel Labs.
