Skills

Agent Skills is a curated skill registry and npm-based CLI for extending AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and Antigravity with packaged instructions, templates, and reference files. The CLI fetches a catalog, lets users search and select skills, caches downloads locally, and installs them to selected agents by copying or symlinking them at global or project scope; it also supports updating, removing, auditing, and managing cached skills. The repository describes the catalog as an open-source, human-curated library with CI static analysis, content hashing, lockfiles, path isolation, symlink guards, sanitization, audit logging, and Snyk Agent Scan checks. It also includes an MCP server that exposes progressive-disclosure tools for listing, searching, reading, and fetching skill files. The CLI source is MIT-licensed; maintainer-authored skills are generally CC BY 4.0, while third-party skills retain their own licenses.

Agent Skills is an open-source collection of engineering workflows for AI coding agents, developed by Addy Osmani. It packages senior-engineering practices into skills covering the development lifecycle: defining specifications, planning, incremental implementation, testing and debugging, constraints, code review, web-performance auditing, code simplification, and shipping. Slash commands such as /spec, /plan, /build, /test, /review, and /ship activate the corresponding workflows, while skills can also activate automatically based on the work being performed. The /build workflow can generate a plan and implement its tasks in an approved pass, while retaining test-driven verification, individual commits, and pauses for failures or risky steps. It can be installed with the skills CLI or integrated into supported coding agents including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, and Cline.

Skills for Real Engineers is an open-source collection of small, composable agent skills by Matt Pocock for disciplined software development with Claude Code, Codex, and other coding agents. The skills support requirements clarification, project-language setup, test-driven development, debugging, code review, specification, planning, triage, and codebase surveys. The collection includes skills such as `/grill-me` and `/grill-with-docs`, which question the user about a proposed change before implementation, and a setup skill that configures an issue tracker, ticket labels, and documentation storage for a repository. It can be installed as a managed Claude Code plugin or copied into a project as editable files through the `skills` installer; the skills are intended to work with any model and can be adapted by the user.

Skill Cabinet is a local catalog for agent skills installed on a machine. It scans user-level skill locations such as .agents, .claude, .codex, .cursor plugins, Hermes profiles, and other ~/.* /skills folders, then lets users filter skills by drawer, metadata, risk, invocation mode, and status; inspect rendered or source bodies, YAML frontmatter, extra files, symlinks, duplicates, origins, and broken links; and review disk usage. It runs with Node 20 or later through npx skill-cabinet, starting a server bound to 127.0.0.1 and opening the catalog in a browser. Users can quarantine skills to ~/.skill-cabinet/quarantine and restore them, or delete individual skills or groups; deletion removes folders, files, or symlinks from the scanned locations, while a symlink's target is retained. The project is distributed under the MIT license.

self-learning-skills is a meta-skill for AI coding agents, including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and agents that read AGENTS.md or similar standing-instruction files. It recognizes hard-won, reusable procedures such as non-obvious commands and recurring operational workflows, then captures them as skills, rules, or project instructions for later sessions. The capture includes known dead ends and excludes one-off details and secret values. The project stores learned procedures as new skills/<name>/SKILL.md files for Claude Code, Codex, and Agent Skills clients; as .cursor/rules/learned/<name>.mdc files for Cursor; or in AGENTS.md or project notes for other agents. It can be installed with the community skills CLI, as a Claude Code plugin, or manually by copying the relevant files.
