What is it?

This is a community-curated list of Agent Skills, which are plain text SKILL.md files that give an AI assistant step-by-step instructions for specific tasks, so it can pick up new abilities without retraining. The list groups skills by vendor and by domain, covering official skills published by AI platforms, cloud and infrastructure providers, developer frameworks, and a long tail of community-written skills for areas such as marketing, security, data and writing.

Each entry links to a skill folder on GitHub with a one-line description. The page also points to aggregator sites for searching and ranking skills, an npx-based CLI for installing and updating them, and a table of the agents that support the format, including Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and Cursor.

The project is maintained in several languages and includes sections on how to create skills, quality standards for contributions, and frequently asked questions.
