Skills real projects publish on GitHub, most starred first. Each one says what it will make an agent do before you copy it.
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/vscode/extensions/copilot/.agents/skills/launch/SKILL.md
Launch and automate VS Code Insiders with the Copilot Chat extension using @playwright/cli via Chrome DevTools Protocol. Use when you need to interact with the VS Code UI, automate the chat panel, test the extension UI, or take screenshots. Triggers include 'automate VS Code', 'interact with chat', 'test the UI', 'take a screenshot', 'launch with debugging'.
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/vscode/.github/skills/integrated-browser/SKILL.md
Use this when working on the VS Code integrated browser ("browserView") to understand its architecture and mental model. Covers the embedded Chromium browser, its editor tab, navigation, overlay/layout, sessions, and agent browser tools under `src/vs/platform/browserView` and `src/vs/workbench/contrib/browserView`.
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/vscode/.github/skills/policy-and-managed-settings/SKILL.md
Use whenever adding, modifying, or reviewing any Copilot, agent, LLM, AI, tool, permission, sandbox, MCP, model, telemetry, feature-gate, setting, configuration, or enterprise control—especially anything an organization or administrator may need to manage. Start here to decide whether it belongs in runtime managed settings, a typed SDK contract, VS Code configuration policy, extension policy, or a split implementation. Run on every new Copilot/agent/LLM control and ANY change that adds a `policy:` field.
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/vscode/.github/skills/sweeper-implement/SKILL.md
Implement a VS Code Sweeper agent-ready issue — fetch the sweeper's review record from its state repo, implement the change in the current vscode checkout from the review's brief (an implement-ready record) or from an approved sweeper-plan file, validate the diff against it, and — after the maintainer has reviewed the changes in their editor — open a draft PR. Use ONLY when the request explicitly asks for the sweeper — "sweeper-implement", "sweeper", "vscodesweeper", a sweeper record, an agent-ready issue, or a sweeper brief — or asks to implement a sweeper plan ("implement plan <n>", a `.sweeper/plans/issue-<n>.md` file). Do NOT use for a plain "fix this issue" request that doesn't mention the sweeper; fix those directly with your normal tools instead.
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/vscode/.github/skills/sweeper-plan/SKILL.md
Plan a VS Code Sweeper agent-ready issue with the maintainer — fetch the sweeper's review record from its state repo, put the review's open decisions to the maintainer, and write a plan file (.sweeper/plans/issue-<n>.md) for them to edit in their editor; it writes no code and ends there — the sweeper-implement skill implements the approved plan. Use ONLY when the request explicitly asks for the sweeper plan — "sweeper-plan", "plan … with the sweeper", a sweeper record or agent-ready issue to plan first. Do NOT use for a plain planning request that doesn't mention the sweeper.
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/vscode/src/vs/sessions/skills/code-review/SKILL.md
Perform a code review of the current session's changes. Use when the user requests a code review via the Run Code Review button in the Changes toolbar.
Significant-GravitasSkillSignificant-Gravitas/AutoGPT/.claude/skills/open-pr/SKILL.md
Open a pull request with proper PR template, test coverage, and review workflow. Guides agents through creating a PR that follows repo conventions, ensures existing behaviors aren't broken, covers new behaviors with tests, and handles review via bot when local testing isn't possible. TRIGGER when user asks to "open a PR", "create a PR", "make a PR", "submit a PR", "open pull request", "push and create PR", or any variation of opening/submitting a pull request.
Significant-GravitasSkillSignificant-Gravitas/AutoGPT/.claude/skills/pr-test/SKILL.md
E2E manual testing of PRs/branches using docker compose, agent-browser, and API calls. TRIGGER when user asks to manually test a PR, test a feature end-to-end, or run integration tests against a running system.
AnthropicSkillanthropics/skills/skills/claude-api/SKILL.md
Reference for the Claude API / Anthropic SDK — model ids, pricing, params, streaming, tool use, MCP, agents, caching, token counting, model migration. TRIGGER — read BEFORE opening the target file; don't skip because it "looks like a one-liner" — whenever: the prompt names Claude/Anthropic in any form (Claude, Anthropic, Fable, Opus, Sonnet, Haiku, `anthropic`, `@anthropic-ai`, `claude-*`, `us.anthropic.*`, `[1m]`); the user asks about an LLM (pricing/model choice/limits/caching) — never answer from memory; OR the task is LLM-shaped with provider unstated (agent/MCP/tool-definition/multi-agent/RAG/LLM-judge/computer-use; generate/summarize/extract/classify/rewrite/converse over NL; debugging refusals/cutoffs/streaming/tool-calls/tokens). SKIP only when another provider is being worked on (overrides all triggers): OpenAI/GPT/Gemini/Llama/Mistral/Cohere/Ollama named in the query; OR `grep -rE 'openai|langchain_openai|google.generativeai|genai|mistralai|cohere|ollama'` over the project hits (run this grep FIRST if no provider named — don't Read the file).
AnthropicSkillanthropics/skills/skills/discernment-nudge/SKILL.md
After you give a substantive answer or draft that the user may act on — advice or recommendations, drafted artifacts such as goals, plans, pitches, proposals, or emails, estimates or projections, analysis or interpretation of data, factual claims they may rely on, or a multi-step argument — invoke this skill BEFORE finalizing your reply and then, if it applies, append 2-3 short follow-up questions, each tied to something specific in what you just produced, that help the user check key facts, probe the reasoning or assumptions, and notice missing context. Do this at most once per conversation. Skip it when the user asked a trivial how-to or simple lookup, wants a purely educational explanation, asked you only to format, convert, or assemble a file from content they provided, is writing code they will run, is doing creative writing or casual chat, or already asked you to double-check, cite, or review — the skill file explains these boundaries and the exact output format.
AnthropicSkillanthropics/skills/skills/mcp-builder/SKILL.md
Guide for creating high-quality MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that enable LLMs to interact with external services through well-designed tools. Use when building MCP servers to integrate external APIs or services, whether in Python (FastMCP) or Node/TypeScript (MCP SDK).
AnthropicSkillanthropics/skills/skills/skill-creator/SKILL.md
Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, edit, or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.
langgeniusSkilllanggenius/dify/.agents/skills/backend-code-review/SKILL.md
Use only when the user explicitly requests a review or audit of backend code under `api/`. Supports pending-change, file-focused, and pasted-diff reviews. Do not use for implementation-only requests, diagnosis without review intent, frontend code, or backend code outside `api/`.
langgeniusSkilllanggenius/dify/.agents/skills/frontend-code-review/SKILL.md
Use only when the user explicitly requests a review or audit of frontend code under `web/` or `packages/dify-ui/`. Supports pending-change, file-focused, and pasted-diff reviews. Do not use for implementation-only requests, diagnosis without review intent, or backend-only code.
AnthropicSkillanthropics/claude-code/plugins/hookify/skills/writing-rules/SKILL.md
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a hookify rule", "write a hook rule", "configure hookify", "add a hookify rule", or needs guidance on hookify rule syntax and patterns.
AnthropicSkillanthropics/claude-code/plugins/plugin-dev/skills/agent-development/SKILL.md
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create an agent", "add an agent", "write a subagent", "agent frontmatter", "when to use description", "agent examples", "agent tools", "agent colors", "autonomous agent", or needs guidance on agent structure, system prompts, triggering conditions, or agent development best practices for Claude Code plugins.
AnthropicSkillanthropics/claude-code/plugins/plugin-dev/skills/command-development/SKILL.md
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a slash command", "add a command", "write a custom command", "define command arguments", "use command frontmatter", "organize commands", "create command with file references", "interactive command", "use AskUserQuestion in command", or needs guidance on slash command structure, YAML frontmatter fields, dynamic arguments, bash execution in commands, user interaction patterns, or command development best practices for Claude Code.
AnthropicSkillanthropics/claude-code/plugins/plugin-dev/skills/hook-development/SKILL.md
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a hook", "add a PreToolUse/PostToolUse/Stop hook", "validate tool use", "implement prompt-based hooks", "use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}", "set up event-driven automation", "block dangerous commands", or mentions hook events (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, SubagentStop, SessionStart, SessionEnd, UserPromptSubmit, PreCompact, Notification). Provides comprehensive guidance for creating and implementing Claude Code plugin hooks with focus on advanced prompt-based hooks API.
AnthropicSkillanthropics/claude-code/plugins/plugin-dev/skills/mcp-integration/SKILL.md
This skill should be used when the user asks to "add MCP server", "integrate MCP", "configure MCP in plugin", "use .mcp.json", "set up Model Context Protocol", "connect external service", mentions "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} with MCP", or discusses MCP server types (SSE, stdio, HTTP, WebSocket). Provides comprehensive guidance for integrating Model Context Protocol servers into Claude Code plugins for external tool and service integration.
AnthropicSkillanthropics/claude-code/plugins/plugin-dev/skills/plugin-settings/SKILL.md
This skill should be used when the user asks about "plugin settings", "store plugin configuration", "user-configurable plugin", ".local.md files", "plugin state files", "read YAML frontmatter", "per-project plugin settings", or wants to make plugin behavior configurable. Documents the .claude/plugin-name.local.md pattern for storing plugin-specific configuration with YAML frontmatter and markdown content.
A folder with a SKILL.md file: a name, a description of when to use it, and instructions. Claude loads a skill only when the task matches its description.
Copy the folder into your project's .claude/skills/ directory, or into your own skills folder to use it everywhere.
We read each file for commands that read secrets, delete things or pipe downloads into a shell, and say so before you copy it. No warning is not a promise that a file is safe.
Open a skill to see its discussion. Reports from people and their agents are coming.
