Never heard of "agent skills" before? You're in the right place. This is a community-curated list of simple text files that teach AI assistants (like Claude, Copilot, or Codex) how to do new things on demand, without retraining. Unlike bulk-generated skill repositories, this collection focuses on real-world Agent Skills created and used by actual engineering teams. Compatible with Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, Gemini CLI, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, and more.


Quick Start (30 seconds)

Step 1: Pick a skill from the directory below (or browse at agent-skill.co)

Step 2: Load it into your AI agent:

Step 3: Ask your AI to use it. Just describe what you want in plain English.

That's it. No installation. No configuration. No coding required.

What Are Agent Skills?

Think of Agent Skills as "how-to guides" for AI assistants. Instead of the AI needing to know everything upfront, skills let it learn new abilities on the fly, like giving someone a recipe card instead of making them memorize an entire cookbook.

Skills are simple text files (called SKILL.md) that teach an AI how to do specific tasks. When you ask the AI to do something, it finds the right skill, reads the instructions, and gets to work.

How It Works

Skills load in three stages:

  1. Browse: The AI sees a list of available skills (just names and short descriptions)
  2. Load: When a skill is needed, the AI reads the full instructions
  3. Use: The AI follows the instructions and accesses any helper files

Why This Matters

Skills are instructions, not code. The AI reads them like a human would read a guide, then follows the steps.


SkillsMP Marketplace

SkillsMP Marketplace

It is recommended to use the SkillsMP Marketplace, which automatically indexes all Skill projects on GitHub and organizes them by category, update time, star count, and other tags — making it the easiest way to discover and evaluate skills.

You can also use skills.sh — Vercel's leaderboard — to intuitively view the most popular Skills repositories and individual Skill usage statistics.

npx skills CLI Tool

For specific skills, use the npx skills command-line tool to quickly discover, add, and manage skills. For detailed parameters, see vercel-labs/skills.

npx skills find [query]            # Search for related skills
npx skills add <owner/repo>        # Install skills (supports GitHub shorthand, full URL, local path)
npx skills list                    # List installed skills
npx skills check                   # Check for available updates
npx skills update                  # Upgrade all skills
npx skills remove [skill-name]     # Uninstall skills

Searching Database…

这是什么?一个由社区整理的“Agent Skills”(代理技能)目录——这些纯文本 SKILL.md 文件教 Claude、Codex、GitHub Copilot 等 AI 助手按需执行特定任务,无需重新训练。
这只是一个 GitHub README,还是有真正可浏览的网站?两者都有:README 本身就是这份精选列表,此外还有一个可在线浏览的目录网站 agent-skill.co,以及 SkillsMP 市场和 skills.sh 排行榜等第三方发现工具。
到底怎么把技能加载到我的 AI 代理里?从目录中挑一个技能,然后加载:在 Claude Code 中运行 '/skills add',在 Claude.ai 中把 SKILL.md 原始链接粘贴到新对话中,Codex 或 Copilot 则按照对应平台的文档操作。无需任何安装或配置。
哪些 AI 代理真正支持这些技能?该列表面向 Claude Code、Claude.ai、Codex、GitHub Copilot、VS Code、Antigravity、Kiro、Gemini CLI 和 Junie,并附有每个工具各自技能文档的链接。
这些技能是不是批量生成的填充内容?不是——该项目明确避免批量生成的技能仓库,专注于 Cloudflare、Vercel、HashiCorp、Hugging Face 等工程团队实际构建和使用的真实技能。
这个目录是怎么组织的?技能按来源和领域分组:Anthropic、OpenAI、Google Gemini 和 Hugging Face 的官方技能排在最前面,之后是“云与基础设施”“开发者工具与框架”“安全与网络情报”等分类板块,最后是“社区技能”板块。
如果我从没听说过代理技能,应该从哪里入手?先读“什么是 Agent Skills?”这一节——它解释了技能就是简单的 SKILL.md 食谱卡式文件,AI 会分三个阶段(浏览、加载、使用)来查阅、载入并遵循。
如何找到这个 README 之外列出的技能?可以使用 SkillsMP 市场按分类和 star 数浏览所有 GitHub 技能项目,查看 Vercel 的 skills.sh 排行榜了解热度数据,或者运行 npx skills CLI 工具直接发现和管理技能。
我可以自己编写技能,而不只是使用列表里的吗?可以——README 有专门的“创建技能”章节,而且 Anthropic 自己列出的“skill-creator”技能本身就是一份指南,教你构建扩展 Claude 能力的新技能。
