Skills real projects publish on GitHub, most starred first. Each one says what it will make an agent do before you copy it.

MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/intelligent-terminal/.github/skills/upstream-sync/SKILL.md
Periodically sync new commits from microsoft/terminal into this manually-forked intelligent-terminal repo by cherry-picking commit-by-commit onto a dated sync branch, auto-skipping revert pairs and empty commits, auto-resolving known take-upstream files, and stopping cleanly on genuine conflicts. The agent (you, reading this file) is the orchestrator — the PowerShell scripts are atomic operations you invoke one at a time. Use when the user asks to "sync upstream", "pull from microsoft/terminal", "run upstream sync", "catch up to upstream", or wires this into a scheduler (weekly/daily). Designed to be safe under repeated unattended runs.

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.
