Overview
skills.sh is the central directory for "agent skills" - reusable knowledge packages that help AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, ...) operate more accurately and with deeper domain expertise. Built and launched by Vercel in January 2026, the platform now hosts over 90,000 skills with 4.3 million monthly installs.
Instead of repeatedly writing prompts that explain your workflow, conventions, or tools - you install a relevant skill and the AI understands automatically. Skills are versioned packages that can be shared, updated, and reused - similar to npm for JavaScript.
How to use
- Browse skills at skills.sh - search by category (React, Design, Databases...) or view the leaderboard by install count.
- Install a skill with:
npx skills add <owner/repo> # Example: npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills - Use immediately - the skill is saved to
.claude/skills/(or the equivalent directory for your agent) and loaded automatically when relevant.
Most popular skills
- find-skills (1.4M installs) - helps find the right skill for the current task
- frontend-design - opinionated UI design guidance, not generic
- vercel-react-best-practices - React best practices ranked by impact
- web-design-guidelines - validates UI code against 100+ accessibility rules
Notes
- Supports 19+ agents: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Goose, and more.
- Skills vs MCP: Skills are workflows and guidelines; MCP is tool/API connections. They complement each other.
- Check each skill's license before using in a commercial project.
- Built-in security audit - malicious skills are automatically removed from the directory.
