📖 What Are Agent Skills?

Agent Skills are modular instruction packages that extend what AI coding agents can do. Each skill is a self-contained folder with a SKILL.md file (the core instructions) plus optional scripts, templates, and references. When you ask an AI agent to perform a task, it dynamically loads the relevant skill and follows the instructions — no fine-tuning, no API changes, no configuration.

This standard is supported by Claude, Copilot, Codex, Gemini, and more. Skills are portable across all compatible agents.

🌟 Why This Collection — Not Another Link List

There are many "awesome lists" that collect links to skills scattered across GitHub. This project takes a completely different approach: every skill lives here, fully implemented, ready to use.

	Link Lists	This Library
What you get	URLs to 50+ external repos	51+ complete implementations in one repo
Scripts	Go find them yourself	23 skills include working scripts
Templates	None	14 skills include ready-to-use templates
Install	Manual, per-repo	`skillctl` CLI — one command
Manage	Can't	Enable/disable per IDE, per skill
Update	`git pull` each repo	`skillctl update` — one command
Quality	Unverified	CI-validated structure + frontmatter

Core Advantages

skillctl CLI — The first skill manager. Search, enable, disable, update skills per IDE from your terminal
51+ Complete Skills — Not links. Real SKILL.md + scripts + templates + references, all in one repo
11 IDE Support — Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, VS Code, Codex, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, and more
Per-Skill Control — Don't want all 51? Enable only what you need per IDE
CI Validated — GitHub Actions verify every SKILL.md has valid structure
6 Languages — EN, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어, Español

❓ FAQ

What are Agent Skills?

Agent Skills are instruction files that teach AI assistants how to do specific tasks. Think of them as "how-to guides" that the AI reads and follows. They only load when needed, so the AI stays fast and focused.

How is this different from other skill collections?

Most collections are link directories — they list links to external repositories. This collection contains 51+ complete skill implementations with scripts, templates, and reference documentation. Clone once and you have everything ready to use.

How are Agent Skills different from fine-tuning?

Fine-tuning permanently changes how an AI thinks (expensive and hard to update). Agent Skills are just instruction files — you can update, swap, or share them anytime without touching the AI itself.

What's the difference between Agent Skills and MCP?

They complement each other:

Agent Skills = teach the AI how to do something (workflows, best practices)
MCP = help the AI access things (APIs, databases, external tools)

Which AI tools support Agent Skills?

Currently supported: Claude (Claude.ai and Claude Code), GitHub Copilot, VS Code, Codex (OpenAI), Antigravity (Google), Gemini CLI, Kiro, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenCode, and Amp. The list is growing.

Do Agent Skills run code?

No. Skills are text instructions — the AI reads and follows them like a recipe. Some skills include helper scripts that the AI can execute, but the skill itself is just instructions.

How do I create my own skill?

Create a folder with a SKILL.md file containing a name and description
Write clear, step-by-step instructions
Optionally add scripts, templates, or references
Place it in your IDE's skill directory
Full guide: How to create custom skills

Can I use these skills with multiple IDEs at the same time?

Yes! Use the install.sh script or the all-in-one setup script above to configure skills for all your IDEs simultaneously. Skills are just files — they work across any compatible agent.
