Three parallel trees documented the same ecosystem: omp-docs/skills/
(two overview pages), tools/npx-skills/ (10 pi-era npm pages), and
tools/vercel-labs-skills/ (11 CLI pages), plus a fourth leaderboard page
at engineering/skills-ecosystem.md. Verbatim overlap (identical SKILL.md
field tables in skills-spec.md vs skill-format.md; 13-agent vs 68-agent
copies of the same upstream table). Consolidated to four concept pages:
- skills/agent-skills.md: standard, format, loading, authoring (merges
skills-spec, skill-format, skill-file-structure, skill-loading,
best-practices, skills-vs-extensions)
- skills/skills-cli.md: CLI reference (merges commands, source-formats,
installation-scope, skill-discovery, lock-file, env-variables,
agent-support, related-links)
- skills/store-wiring.md: moved, fleet ops, links retargeted
- skills/ecosystem.md: replaces skills-ecosystem.md; stale 2026-08-12
top-50 table dropped, replaced with a live top-10 re-queried from the
skills.sh API tonight and the API contract re-verified (zero-based,
200/page, {skills,total,hasMore,page}, total 9909)
All facts re-verified 2026-10-19 against primary sources:
agentskills.io, vercel-labs/skills README + src/cli.ts (command set,
--full-depth) + src/skill-lock.ts (v3 lock, XDG path, wipe-on-old),
live skills.sh API. Deleted superseded core/index-doc.md (old pi-era
docs index). Retargeted all inbound links (tools/index, engineering x3,
packages x3, pi/skills, core/index). Pi-era npm skill packaging is
listed as archived under /pi/.

# Skills Ecosystem
|
|
|
|
The open agent-skills ecosystem is a set of registries over the shared
|
|
[Agent Skills standard](/skills/agent-skills.md), installed with the
|
|
[Skills CLI](/skills/skills-cli.md).
|
|
|
|
## Registries
|
|
|
|
| Registry | Focus |
|
|
|----------|-------|
|
|
| [skills.sh](https://skills.sh) | Primary registry and all-time install leaderboard. |
|
|
| [agentskill.sh](https://agentskill.sh) | Broad directory/marketplace. |
|
|
| [officialskills.sh](https://officialskills.sh) | Skills from major organizations. |
|
|
| [qaskills.sh](https://qaskills.sh) | QA and testing skills. |
|
|
|
|
## skills.sh leaderboard API
|
|
|
|
Fetch the all-time ranking programmatically:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl 'https://skills.sh/api/skills/all-time/0'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Response is `{ skills, total, hasMore, page }`. Pagination is **zero-based**,
|
|
**200 skills per page** (`GET /api/skills/all-time/{page}`). Each entry carries
|
|
`source`, `skillId`, `name`, `installs`, `weeklyInstalls` (last ~8 weeks), and
|
|
`isOfficial`. Verified live 2026-10-19: page 0 returned 200 entries,
|
|
`total` 9909, `hasMore` true.
|
|
|
|
## Install snapshot (2026-10-19, live)
|
|
|
|
Top 10 by all-time installs, queried from the API above:
|
|
|
|
| # | Skill | Source | Installs |
|
|
|---|-------|--------|----------|
|
|
| 1 | `find-skills` | vercel-labs/skills | 3,927,274 |
|
|
| 2 | `grill-me` | mattpocock/skills | 1,387,557 |
|
|
| 3 | `grill-with-docs` | mattpocock/skills | 1,188,473 |
|
|
| 4 | `agent-browser` | vercel-labs/agent-browser | 1,170,738 |
|
|
| 5 | `improve-codebase-architecture` | mattpocock/skills | 1,133,991 |
|
|
| 6 | `tdd` | mattpocock/skills | 1,110,148 |
|
|
| 7 | `hyperframes-cli` | heygen-com/hyperframes | 1,109,284 |
|
|
| 8 | `hyperframes` | heygen-com/hyperframes | 1,063,942 |
|
|
| 9 | `setup-matt-pocock-skills` | mattpocock/skills | 1,024,734 |
|
|
| 10 | `handoff` | mattpocock/skills | 1,008,869 |
|
|
|
|
`mattpocock/skills` dominates the workflow/design middle of the board; a single
|
|
`find-skills` out-installs the next several combined. Vendor suites (Lark, Azure)
|
|
that filled ranks 12-50 in the 2026-08-12 snapshot have since dropped out of the
|
|
head, so this page keeps only a live top-10 rather than a full 50-row table that
|
|
rots between queries. Re-query the API above for a current census.
