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.
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/vscode/.github/skills/customizations-in-the-agent-host/SKILL.md
Architecture and hard-won debugging lessons for customization enablement (plugins, MCP servers, agents, skills, instructions) in the agent host. Use when changing how customizations are discovered, published, enabled/disabled, or handed to a provider SDK; when a customization shows the wrong enabled state in the UI; or when a disabled MCP server or plugin is still reaching the model.
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).
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/vscode/.github/skills/chat-customizations-editor/SKILL.md
Use when working on the Chat Customizations editor — the management UI for agents, skills, instructions, hooks, prompts, MCP servers, and plugins.
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.
n8n-ioSkilln8n-io/n8n/.agents/skills/create-agent-builder-eval/SKILL.md
Authors and calibrates Instance AI evaluations that build standalone n8n Agents through Agent Builder. Use when a change under packages/cli/src/modules/agents affects build-agent routing, Agent setup, model or credential selection, tools, MCP servers, integrations, skills, tasks, testing, or user-facing build responses. Requires LangTracer access before authoring so each finished case can be published.
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.

browser-useSkillbrowser-use/browser-use/skills/open-source/SKILL.md
Documentation reference for writing Python code using the browser-use open-source library. Use this skill whenever the user needs help with Agent, Browser, or Tools configuration, is writing code that imports from browser_use, asks about @sandbox deployment, supported LLM models, Actor API, custom tools, lifecycle hooks, MCP server setup, or monitoring/observability with Laminar or OpenLIT. Also trigger for questions about browser-use installation, prompting strategies, or sensitive data handling. Do NOT use this for Cloud API/SDK usage or pricing — use the cloud skill instead. Do NOT use this for directly automating a browser via CLI commands — use the browser-use skill instead.

Author in-repo SKILL.md files: frontmatter and structure.
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.
