This repository is a community-curated directory of "agent skills" for AI assistants such as Claude, GitHub Copilot, and similar tools. Agent skills are plain text files, named SKILL.md, that give an AI step-by-step instructions for doing a specific task. Instead of the AI needing that knowledge baked in from training, a skill is loaded on demand: when you ask the AI to do something, it finds the right skill file, reads the instructions, and follows them. The README compares skills to recipe cards. Rather than making someone memorize a cookbook, you hand them the relevant page when they need it. This keeps the AI faster and lighter, since it only loads what is required. Skills created for one compatible tool generally work across others, and because they are just text files stored on GitHub, they are easy to share or adapt. The directory organizes skills into sections: official skills from AI companies and major software platforms, and community-contributed skills. Official categories include AI platforms, cloud and infrastructure, developer tools, Google products, business and productivity, and security. Community contributions are grouped into areas like vector databases, marketing, development and testing, and context engineering. As an example, Anthropic's official skills cover creating Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, PDFs, frontend design, and generating animated GIFs for Slack. Finding and adding a skill takes about thirty seconds: browse the directory or the companion website at agent-skill.co, load the skill file URL into your AI tool, then describe what you want in plain English. There is also an npx command-line tool for discovering, installing, updating, and removing skills. Compatible tools listed include Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and others. Anyone can submit a skill, provided it meets quality standards described in the README. The repository is maintained by Hailey Cheng and includes tutorials, guides, a glossary, and a frequently asked questions section. The full README is longer than what was shown.
