# Skills Ecosystem and Top Skills
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This page covers the open agent skills ecosystem. It describes the registries, the install tooling, and the top skills by category.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## The Ecosystem
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`skills.sh` is the primary registry and leaderboard for agent skills. It runs on the open-source `skills` CLI from Vercel Labs. Use these commands:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
npx skills add <owner/repo> # Install skills
|
|
|
|
|
npx skills find [query] # Search skills
|
|
|
|
|
npx skills list # List installed skills
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The underlying standard is the Agent Skills specification at [agentskills.io](https://agentskills.io). Over 20 coding agents support it. A single `SKILL.md` works across these agents.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
| skills.sh | Primary registry and leaderboard. |
|
|
|
|
|
| agentskill.sh | Directory and marketplace with many indexed skills. |
|
|
|
|
|
| officialskills.sh | Verified skills from major organizations. |
|
|
|
|
|
| qaskills.sh | QA and testing skills. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use the local `npx skills` command to explore what is available. You can query the leaderboard data directly at `GET /api/skills/all-time/{page}` on skills.sh. The page index is zero-based and returns 200 skills per page.

## Top 50 Skills by All-Time Installs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The table lists the top 50 skills verified from the live skills.sh API on 2026-08-12. Install counts are exact at query time.

## Notable Categories
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The top 50 breaks down into these groups:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Development workflow: find-skills, grill-me, tdd, handoff, triage, prototype.
|
|
|
|
|
* Design and frontend: frontend-design, vercel-react-best-practices, web-design-guidelines.
|
|
|
|
|
* Lark office suite: 22 skills from open.feishu.cn, roughly ranks 12-35.
|
|
|
|
|
* Azure infrastructure: 13 skills from microsoft/azure-skills, ranks 38-50.
|
|
|
|
|
* Agent orchestration: agent-browser, setup-matt-pocock-skills.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`find-skills` leads by a wide margin with 2.9 million installs. The Lark suite and Azure suite dominate the middle of the list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## SKILL.md Format
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A skill is a directory that contains a `SKILL.md` file:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
|
name: my-skill
|
|
|
|
|
description: What this skill does
|
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `name` field is required and lowercase. The `description` field is required. Skills load progressively: discovery loads only the metadata, activation loads the full file on match.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 2025/2026 Trends
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The Agent Skills spec is the common standard across 20+ agents.
|
|
|
|
|
* Skills are write once, use everywhere.
|
|
|
|
|
* Registries add security audits for skill content.
|
|
|
|
|
* Specialized registries, such as QA, are emerging.
