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/assets/prompts/skills/agent-customization/SKILL.md
**WORKFLOW SKILL** — Create, update, review, fix, or debug VS Code agent customization files (.instructions.md, .prompt.md, .agent.md, SKILL.md, copilot-instructions.md, AGENTS.md). USE FOR: saving coding preferences; troubleshooting why instructions/skills/agents are ignored or not invoked; configuring applyTo patterns; defining tool restrictions; creating custom agent modes or specialized workflows; packaging domain knowledge; fixing YAML frontmatter syntax. DO NOT USE FOR: general coding questions (use default agent); runtime debugging or error diagnosis; MCP server configuration (use MCP docs directly); VS Code extension development. INVOKES: file system tools (read/write customization files), ask-questions tool (interview user for requirements), subagents for codebase exploration. FOR SINGLE OPERATIONS: For quick YAML frontmatter fixes or creating a single file from a known pattern, edit the file directly — no skill needed.
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/vscode/extensions/copilot/assets/prompts/skills/project-setup-info-local/SKILL.md
Comprehensive setup steps to help the user create complete project structures in a VS Code workspace; this tool is designed for full project initialization and scaffolding, not for creating individual files. When to use this tool: user wants to create a new complete project from scratch; setting up entire project frameworks (TypeScript projects, React apps, Node.js servers, etc.); initializing Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers with full structure; creating VS Code extensions with proper scaffolding; setting up Next.js, Vite, or other framework-based projects; user asks for "new project", "create a workspace", "set up a [framework] project"; need to establish a complete development environment with dependencies, config files, and folder structure. When NOT to use this tool: creating single files or small code snippets; adding individual files to existing projects; making modifications to existing codebases; user asks to "create a file" or "add a component"; simple code examples or demonstrations; debugging or fixing existing code. This tool provides complete project setup including: folder structure creation; package.json and dependency management; configuration files (tsconfig, eslint, etc.); initial boilerplate code; development environment setup; build and run instructions. Use other file creation tools for individual files within existing projects.

obraSkillobra/superpowers/skills/brainstorming/SKILL.md
You MUST use this before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior. Explores user intent, requirements and design before implementation.
NousResearchSkillNousResearch/hermes-agent/skills/software-development/spike/SKILL.md
Throwaway experiments to validate an idea before build.
affaan-mSkillaffaan-m/ECC/.agents/skills/documentation-lookup/SKILL.md
Use up-to-date library and framework docs via Context7 MCP instead of training data. Activates for setup questions, API references, code examples, or when the user names a framework (e.g. React, Next.js, Prisma).
affaan-mSkillaffaan-m/ECC/.agents/skills/unified-memory/SKILL.md
Share durable, inspectable context and handoffs between Claude, Codex, Hermes, Cursor, OpenCode, and other agents through the local ECC Memory Vault. Use when an agent must save work state, transfer context, resume another agent's task, or search shared project knowledge.

Use when adding, enabling, disabling, installing, configuring, or debugging a plugin, bundle, feature, page, panel, tool, or MCP connection in the current Harness profile, including a shipped plugin that is disabled by default, and for any visual object, decoration, or widget request that names no other destination, which means an installed UI plugin rendered in the Harness Web UI.
n8n-ioSkilln8n-io/n8n/.agents/skills/create-skill/SKILL.md
Guides users through creating effective Agent Skills. Use when you want to create, write, or author a new skill, or asks about skill structure, best practices, or SKILL.md format.
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/vscode/extensions/copilot/assets/prompts/skills/troubleshoot/SKILL.md
Investigate unexpected chat agent behavior by analyzing direct debug logs in JSONL files. Use when users ask why something happened, why a request was slow, why tools or subagents were used or skipped, or why instructions/skills/agents did not load.
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/vscode/.github/skills/agent-host-logs/SKILL.md
Analyze Agent Host debug log exports. Use when given an ah-logs or ahp-logs zip/folder, an Export Agent Host Debug Logs bundle, events.jsonl, AHP JSONL transport logs, Agent Host.log, remote-agenthost.log, or copilot-logs.
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/vscode/.github/skills/code-oss-logs/SKILL.md
Find and read timestamped process logs from Code OSS dev builds, including main.log, renderer.log, extension host logs, and agenthost.log. For bundles produced by Export Agent Host Debug Logs, use agent-host-logs.
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/vscode/.github/skills/component-fixtures/SKILL.md
Use when creating or updating component fixtures for screenshot testing, or when designing UI components to be fixture-friendly. Covers fixture file structure, theming, service setup, CSS scoping, async rendering, and common pitfalls.
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/vscode/.github/skills/issue-grouping/SKILL.md
Group similar issues.
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.
