Skill AuthoringA

Design, improve, and evaluate reusable agent skills with high-quality SKILL.md files, precise trigger descriptions, progressive disclosure, and testable behavior. This skill should be used when users ask to create a new skill, rewrite or review an existing skill, audit a skill collection such as `config/source/skills` for redundancy or overlap, improve skill trigger quality, organize skill references, or evaluate whether a skill should trigger and behave correctly.

Manage Local SkillsA

Analyze, standardize, validate, and sync locally maintained skills into agent skill directories with a `skills` CLI-aligned workflow. Use this skill when Codex needs to turn ad-hoc prompt or rules folders into reusable `SKILL.md`-based skills, install or sync one or more local skills from `./skills` into Claude, Cursor, CodeBuddy, Codex, or similar agent directories, or manage local skill path mappings and symlink or copy installation behavior.

Wp Add SkillsA

Install official WordPress agent-skills from the WordPress/agent-skills GitHub repository. Invoke when user asks to install WordPress skills, says \"add WordPress skills\", \"install WordPress agent skills\", or uses /wp-add-skills. Has side effects: clones a repository, installs 13 skills to the global skills directory. Requires user confirmation before installation. Supports --list and --update flags.

Find SkillsF

Discover installable agent skills from ctx's shipped Skills.sh catalog, the Skills.sh search API, and the npx skills CLI. Use when a user asks whether a skill exists, wants to add/update a skill, or needs a repeatable procedure for finding candidate skills safely.

Setup Matt Pocock SkillsA

Sets up an `## Agent skills` block in AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md and `docs/agents/` so the engineering skills know this repo's issue tracker (GitHub or local markdown), triage label vocabulary, and domain doc layout. Run before first use of `to-issues`, `to-prd`, `triage`, `diagnose`, `tdd`, `improve-codebase-architecture`, or `zoom-out` — or if those skills appear to be missing context about the issue tracker, triage labels, or domain docs.

Find SkillsA

Helps users discover and install agent skills when they ask questions like "how do I do X", "find a skill for X", "is there a skill that can...", or express interest in extending capabilities. This skill should be used when the user is looking for functionality that might exist as an installable skill.

Skills Best PracticesA

Build high-quality Agent Skills for Claude following official Anthropic best practices. Covers SKILL.md structure, frontmatter, description writing, progressive disclosure, testing, patterns, troubleshooting, and distribution across all surfaces (Claude.ai, Claude Code, API, Agent SDK). Use when creating new skills, reviewing skill quality, debugging skill triggering, structuring skill directories, writing skill descriptions, or improving existing skills.

Fuse SkillsA

Combine 2 or more agent skills into one new merged skill without duplicated guidance or lost capability. Use when the user asks to merge, fuse, consolidate, deduplicate, or unify multiple local skills, `skills.sh` skills, or a mix of both into a single portable, precision-dense skill package. Do not use for ordinary multi-skill composition unless the goal is to create a new fused skill.

Skills vs tools

Agent skills usually define how an agent should reason, inspect, write, test, or operate. Tools and MCP servers expose actions; skills turn those actions into repeatable workflows.

Cross-agent workflows

Many SKILL.md-style workflows can be adapted across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, and other coding agents. The most portable skills are text-first and avoid hardcoded local assumptions.

Quality signals to check

Look for clear triggers, narrow scope, maintained source repos, good examples, minimal hidden behavior, and a security grade that matches your risk tolerance.

Why security-scanned skills matter

Skills can influence agent behavior, suggest commands, include helper files, or touch code and data. Skills Directory adds security context so you can inspect risk before installing a workflow from a public repo.

Frequently asked questions

What is an agent skill?

An agent skill is a reusable package of instructions, examples, and sometimes helper files that guides an AI agent through a specific task or workflow.

Do agent skills work outside Claude?

Some do. SKILL.md-style skills are most native to Claude/Claude Code, but many workflows can be adapted to Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, and other agent systems.

How many agent skills should I install?

Install only the skills you actively use. Too many overlapping skills can create conflicting instructions and make agent behavior less predictable.
