FAQ

General

What is an Agent Skill?

A structured markdown file (SKILL.md) that teaches an AI coding assistant specialized capabilities. It contains domain knowledge, best practices, code templates, and behavioral guidelines.

Which AI platforms are supported?

Claude Code, Antigravity (Google DeepMind), Codex (OpenAI), OpenCode, Cursor, and Lovable. See Supported Platforms.

How many skills are available?

127+ and growing. New skills are discovered and integrated automatically every Monday by the weekly pipeline.

Are skills safe to use?

Every skill source passes six quality gates including security scans, credential checks, and code analysis. However, skills are structured prompts, not sandboxed code. Review any skill before using it for sensitive operations.

Installation

The CLI says "unknown platform"

The CLI only supports: claude, antigravity, codex, opencode, cursor, and lovable. If your platform is not listed, you can manually symlink the skills/ directory to your platform's config location.

Skills not showing up after installation

1. Restart your AI assistant or IDE
2. Verify the symlinks exist: ls -la ~/.config/<platform>/skills/
3. Check the skill directory is not empty: ls skills/

Can I install specific skills only?

Currently, the CLI installs all skills. To use specific ones, manually symlink individual skill directories instead of the entire skills/ folder.

Skills

How do I use a skill?

Tell your AI assistant to use it by name:

"Use the anthropic-frontend-design skill to redesign this page"

Can I create my own skills?

Yes. Create a directory with a SKILL.md file containing YAML frontmatter (name, description) and markdown instructions. See How Skills Work.

A skill description seems wrong or missing

Descriptions are extracted from SKILL.md frontmatter by the catalog generator. If a description is incorrect, the upstream source likely has outdated frontmatter. Open an issue and we can add a manual override.

Contributing

How do I suggest a new skill source?

Open a New Source issue with the GitHub repository URL. Or wait for the weekly discovery pipeline to find it.

Why was my source rejected?

Sources must meet all six quality gates: 50+ stars, 3+ SKILL.md files, 30%+ markdown, no suspicious code, no credentials, and an OSS license.

Can I contribute directly to a skill's content?

Skills are vendored from upstream repositories via git submodules. To improve a skill's content, contribute to the upstream repository directly. Changes will be pulled in automatically during the next update.
