Skills.sh
The AI agent skill directory launched by Vercel allows programming agents to install reusable skill packages with a single command. The official stated that the leaderboard is generated based on anonymous installation data, and it also provides security audit and skill package packaging functions.

What is Skills.sh?
The official website title of Skills.sh is "The Agent Skills Directory", and it describes itself as "The Open Agent Skills Ecosystem". The underlying CLI is open-sourced at vercel-labs/skills. Its logic is simple: hardcoding an agent's capabilities via prompts is unstable, so it distills "how to do something" into reusable skill packs and integrates them into various programming agents. The installation method provided on the official website is a one-line command: `npx skills add <owner/repo>`.
Who is it for?
- Developers who are already using coding agents and want to solidify and reuse their team's specifications, review processes, and common operations.
- Independent developers who want to reuse others' skills select entries with high installation numbers and high activity levels from the leaderboard.
- Team leaders who need to build internal skill packs for their teams and use Packs for unified distribution.
- Developers concerned about supply chain security will check the audit information before deciding whether to install it.
Key features
6One-Command Installation
The official website example is `npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills`, and the skills can be used by agents after installation.
Skill Leaderboard
The official website offers three rankings: All Time / Trending (24h) / Hot, displaying skill names, source repositories, 8-week activity, and installation counts.
Multi-Agent Support
The site lists "Available for these agents", indicating that skills can be integrated with multiple mainstream agents.
Skills / Packs / Topics / Official / Audits sections
In addition to skills, there are also entries for skill packs, topics, official inclusions, and security audit portals.
Packs Skill Packs
The official documentation states that Packs can bundle both public and private skills into a single shareable installation command.
Anonymous Telemetry and Audits
The official documentation clearly states that the leaderboard is based on anonymous telemetry collected by the skills CLI (which only tracks which skills have been installed), and there is a regular security audit process for malicious content.
How to use Skills.sh
- The official documentation is straightforward: We cannot guarantee the quality and security of every skill on skills.sh, so it is recommended that you review the content before installation — skills usually come with executable instructions, which are equivalent to granting third parties the right to execute code.
- Popularity metrics such as download counts for the leaderboard do not equate to quality assurance.
- check the source repository first before looking at the rankings.
- The official team also provides a way to add download count badges to the README, indicating that it is a community ecosystem rather than an official certification system.
- Before using `npx` to pull and execute third-party packages, first confirm that the source organization is trustworthy.
- For skills involving internal code, it is recommended to build and distribute them in a private repository, and exercise caution with public directories in confidential environments.
