Use when the user needs investor-facing documents, projections, use-of-funds tables, milestone plans, or materials that must stay internally consistent across multiple fundraising assets.
affaan-mSkillaffaan-m/ECC/.cursor/skills/investor-materials/SKILL.md
Create and update pitch decks, one-pagers, investor memos, accelerator applications, financial models, and fundraising materials.

AnthropicSkillanthropics/knowledge-work-plugins/operations/skills/process-doc/SKILL.md
Document a business process — flowcharts, RACI, and SOPs. Use when formalizing a process that lives in someone's head, building a RACI to clarify who owns what, writing an SOP for a handoff or audit, or capturing the exceptions and edge cases of how work actually gets done.
NVIDIASkillNVIDIA/cosmos/cookbooks/cosmos3/nim/.agents/skills/cosmos3-nim-user/SKILL.md
Guide customers through Cosmos3 Certified NIM deployment, endpoint verification, API example selection, hardware compatibility, and troubleshooting. Use for operating or calling the NIM from the public cookbooks/cosmos3/nim directory; do not use for maintaining the documentation itself.
EveryIncSkillEveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin/skills/ce-compound/SKILL.md
Document a solved problem as a durable repo learning. Use when verified work produced non-obvious reasoning absent from its final code, tests, or existing docs; avoid routine fixes whose artifacts already explain the lesson.
CloudflareSkillcloudflare/workerd/.opencode/skills/investigation-notes/SKILL.md
Structured scratch tracking document for investigation state during bug hunts - prevents re-reading code, losing context, and rabbit holes; maintains external memory so you don't re-derive conclusions
RefoundAISkillRefoundAI/lenny-skills/skills/building-a-promotion-case/SKILL.md
Help users systematically document their impact, identify skill gaps, and collaborate with their managers to secure a promotion by proving they are already operating at the next level.
GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/microsoft-docs/SKILL.md
Query official Microsoft documentation to find concepts, tutorials, and code examples across Azure, .NET, Agent Framework, Aspire, VS Code, GitHub, and more. Uses Microsoft Learn MCP as the default, with Context7 and Aspire MCP for content that lives outside learn.microsoft.com.
OpenAISkillopenai/openai-cookbook/.codex/skills/docs-editor/SKILL.md
Review and edit OpenAI Cookbook notebooks, Markdown, and MDX for technical accuracy, clarity, grammar, consistency, runnable examples, and repository publication requirements. Use for editorial reviews, pre-merge documentation checks, or notebook Markdown-cell sweeps in openai-cookbook.
fy-agentSkillfy-agent/fyagent/.agents/skills/trellis-update-spec/SKILL.md
Captures executable contracts and coding conventions into .trellis/spec/ documents. Use when learning something valuable from debugging, implementing, or discussion that should be preserved for future sessions.
fy-agentSkillfy-agent/fyagent/.cursor/skills/trellis-update-spec/SKILL.md
Captures executable contracts and coding conventions into .trellis/spec/ documents. Use when learning something valuable from debugging, implementing, or discussion that should be preserved for future sessions.
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/skills/.github/plugins/deep-wiki/skills/wiki-onboarding/SKILL.md
Generates four audience-tailored onboarding guides in an onboarding/ folder — Contributor, Staff Engineer, Executive, and Product Manager. Use when the user wants onboarding documentation for a codebase.
davidondrejSkilldavidondrej/skills/skills/thinking-and-docs/adr-verbatim/SKILL.md
Record concise ADRs that preserve the user''s decisions without conversational noise. Use for "adr-verbatim", "new ADR", "document that as an ADR", "record this decision", or supplied ADR wording.
AnthropicSkillanthropics/knowledge-work-plugins/operations/skills/change-request/SKILL.md
Create a change management request with impact analysis and rollback plan. Use when proposing a system or process change that needs approval, preparing a change record for CAB review, documenting risk and rollback steps before a deployment, or planning stakeholder communications for a rollout.
GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/mcp-release-qa/SKILL.md
Verify an MCP server before release by exercising a real protocol session, comparing runtime capabilities with source and documentation, testing failure paths, and recording reproducible evidence. Use when shipping or reviewing an MCP server, tool, resource, prompt, catalog, or install path.
OpenAISkillopenai/plugins/plugins/vercel/skills/vercel-api/SKILL.md
Vercel app and REST API expert guidance. Use when the agent needs live access to Vercel projects, deployments, environment variables, domains, logs, or documentation through the connected Vercel app or REST API.
ElasticSkillelastic/kibana/.agents/skills/improve-oas/SKILL.md
Add or improve OpenAPI descriptions, examples, and code samples for a Kibana API area. Use when a plugin or package needs better OAS documentation — missing descriptions on schema fields, missing route summaries, missing examples, or missing code samples.
Plain text files in a repository that tell a coding agent how the project works: commands to run, conventions to follow and things to avoid. CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, cursor rules and skills are the common kinds.
CLAUDE.md is read by Claude Code. AGENTS.md is an open format that Codex, Cursor and other agents read. Many projects keep one and point the other at it.
A folder with a SKILL.md that describes one capability, such as filling PDFs or reviewing code. The agent loads it only when the task calls for it.
Your agents already can, over MCP, limited to the files you're allowed to read. Searching them from this page is coming.
