Agent skills shortlist
Updated 2026-08-24

Best agent skills on GitHub

Cloneable SKILL.md packs, not a scraped marketplace. MCP gives agents tools; skills give them a repeatable way to do one job.

How we pick

  • Must contain SKILL.md packs or an official skill/plugin format, not a random prompt dump.
  • Prefer protocol/vendor repos over awesome-list mirrors.
  • Must be usable from Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, or another English-language coding agent.
  • One pack per ecosystem where possible (Anthropic, Playwright, Vercel).
  • Skip closed marketplaces and unreproducible Notion dumps.

Who this is for

Builders searching in English for Cursor / Claude Code / Codex skills they can inspect on GitHub. We skip awesome-list mirrors and closed stores.

FAQ

What is an agent skill?

A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file (plus optional scripts) that teaches an agent how to do one job repeatedly. It is not an MCP server: MCP exposes tools, skills expose procedures.

Why are there so few items?

Most “skill lists” on the internet are awesome-lists or scraped directories. This page only links public GitHub packs you can clone. Completeness is not the goal.

Does this include Cursor Marketplace skills?

Only when they live in a public GitHub repository. Marketplace-only listings are out of scope until they have a cloneable source.

How often is this updated?

Weekly. If a vendor repo 404s, it is dropped on the next pass rather than left as a dead card.
