Why this exists

Every skills registry only sees its own ecosystem. skills.sh counts Claude/Vercel CLI installs, ClawHub counts OpenClaw downloads, Tencent SkillHub counts installs from China — and none of them see social buzz. Best Skills merges all of these views into one cross-ecosystem picture: for each skill you can see global installs, China installs, and social mentions side by side. No other ranking does this.

One folder per day, CSV only. Composite scores are always accompanied by the raw per-platform numbers they were derived from — start from data/latest/ if you just want today's lists.

See docs/methodology.md for data sources, normalization rules, and known limitations.

Data sources & attribution

Install/download counts are collected from public endpoints of skills.sh, ClawHub (per its third-party directory policy; skill pages link back to their canonical ClawHub listing), Tencent SkillHub, and the GitHub API. Social signals come from X, Hacker News (Algolia), Bluesky, and GitHub search. This project is not endorsed by or affiliated with any of these platforms. Counts reflect each platform's own methodology and are never summed across platforms.

How to attribute

Keep the link to this repository intact, and keep the per-platform attributions listed above. That is the whole requirement — no separate permission is needed.

Searching Database…

What is this?A daily-updated ranking of the top 100 AI agent skills, merging install counts, growth, and social buzz from skills.sh, ClawHub, Tencent SkillHub, GitHub, X and more than 10 other communities into one cross-ecosystem view.
Is this a tool I run, or just data I read?It is plain open data, not software: every day a new folder of CSV files is published with the ranked lists, and there is nothing to install or execute.
How do I actually use these rankings?Open the CSVs for the day you want — start in data/latest/ for today's lists, or go to a specific file like best-100.csv or trending-7d.csv for one ranking.
Can I just add up the numbers from different platforms?No — each platform's counts follow its own methodology and are deliberately kept separate rather than summed, so skills.sh installs are never added to ClawHub or SkillHub CN installs.
What are the terms for reusing this data?The CSVs and docs are licensed CC BY 4.0, so you can use, republish, and build on them (including commercially) as long as you keep an attribution line and the per-platform credits intact.
What is the Worth-Installing Score (WIS) used in the Best 100 list?It is a composite ranking metric that blends popularity, momentum, social buzz, maintenance activity, and publisher trust to rank the overall best-100.csv list.
Which sources feed the social-buzz numbers?Mentions are pulled from X, Hacker News (via Algolia), Bluesky, and GitHub search; skills with generic names are excluded from this list because their mentions cannot be reliably attributed.
How often is the data refreshed?Daily — the repo runs scheduled GitHub Actions (daily.yml, heartbeat.yml) and the README header shows the exact last-updated UTC date.
What makes the Rising Stars list different from Top Installs?Rising Stars only tracks skills first seen under 30 days ago, ranked by popularity growth rather than raw install totals.
