Instead of repeatedly grepping and reading files, CodeGraph parses your codebase once into a structured map of functions, classes, imports, and call relationships — so agents navigate with fewer tool calls and far less token spend. Supports 19+ languages, works 100% locally, integrates via CLI, MCP, or Agent Skill.
A single CLAUDE.md file distilling Andrej Karpathy's observations on LLM coding pitfalls into 4 hard rules: think before coding, prefer simplicity over abstraction, make targeted changes only, and verify by outcome not intent. Packaged as a proper Agent Skill with .cursor/rules, plugin.json, and multi-tool support. 140K stars — the fastest validation that developers already knew AI was doing these things wrong.
A meta-tool that converts any document, GitHub repository, or PDF into a ready-to-use agent skill. Point it at a codebase README, an API specification, a technical paper, or a company wiki — Skill Seekers analyzes the content and generates a properly structured SKILL.md that encodes the knowledge as an installable skill. Particularly useful for teams who want to turn internal documentation into AI-accessible skills without writing them from scratch.
The official skills directory maintained by OpenAI for use with Codex CLI and compatible AI coding assistants. Created in late 2025 as OpenAI's answer to Anthropic's skills ecosystem, it provides reference implementations for common development workflows — code review, testing, documentation, and deployment. As the second major AI lab to adopt the SKILL.md standard, OpenAI's entry signals that agent skills are becoming a universal interface for AI-assisted development.
The official specification repository for the Agent Skills open standard — the SKILL.md format that powers cross-platform AI agent skill interoperability. Maintained by the agentskills organization, this repo defines how skills should be structured, what metadata is required, and how agents should discover and invoke skills. If you're building skills for distribution, this is the authoritative reference. The standard is now adopted by Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and 30+ other tools.
Official agent skills from Vercel, the team behind Next.js and the world's largest frontend deployment platform. Covers deployment automation, serverless function optimization, edge computing patterns, and Next.js-specific workflows. Each skill is production-tested across Vercel's own infrastructure. Particularly valuable for teams building on the Vercel platform — these skills encode the same deployment patterns Vercel uses internally.
The community's most comprehensive Claude Code resource guide. 86+ real-world tips, tricks, and best practices collected from developers who use Claude Code daily — covering skills, agents, hooks, commands, and workflows. Unlike official documentation, this is battle-tested knowledge from practitioners: what actually works, what to avoid, and how to get the most out of Claude Code on complex projects. Actively maintained with contributions from engineers at major tech companies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about AI agent skills and MCP servers
What is an AI Agent Skill?
An AI Agent Skill is a modular capability that extends AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and Gemini. Skills are small instruction files that tell your AI how to use specific tools — like GitHub, Google Workspace, or a web browser — directly from your chat. Install once, use forever.
How do I install a Claude skill?
Run the install command shown on each skill's page. For most skills: copy the skill folder to ~/.claude/skills/ for personal use, or .claude/skills/ for project-specific use. Then restart Claude Code and the skill is ready.
What's the difference between a Claude Skill and an MCP Server?
Claude Skills are lightweight instruction files (SKILL.md) that guide Claude's behavior using existing CLI tools — no server required. MCP Servers are persistent processes that expose tools via the Model Context Protocol. Skills are simpler to install; MCP servers offer deeper integrations.
Are AI skills free to use?
Yes. All skills listed on DiscoverAISkills are free to install. Some skills may require API keys for the underlying services they connect to, but the skills themselves are open source and free.
Which AI platforms do skills support?
Most skills support Claude, Cursor, and OpenClaw. Many also work with Gemini CLI, ChatGPT, and Windsurf. Each skill's page shows exactly which platforms it's compatible with.
What are the most popular Claude skills?
The most popular Claude skills include: self-improving-agent (349k installs), Github (146k installs), Gog for Google Workspace (145k installs), Multi Search Engine (103k installs), and Weather (125k installs). Browse the full rankings for more.
What is an AI Agent Platform?
DiscoverAISkills is the go-to platform for discovering, comparing, and installing AI skills — modular capabilities that extend AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and Gemini. Whether you're looking for Claude skills, Claude code skills, or MCP servers, we have the most comprehensive directory with 36,000+ curated entries. Each skill is one command away from installation, and works across all major AI platforms including Claude, Cursor, Gemini, and more.
How AI Skills Work
An AI skill is a small folder containing a SKILL.md file that tells your AI assistant what the skill does, when to use it, and how to invoke it. Skills can also include supporting scripts, templates, and reference documents that the AI loads on demand. Because the Agent Skills format is an open standard, a skill you install once works across Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenClaw, and every other compatible client — no modification needed. The AI automatically discovers and uses the right skill based on context, so you can focus on describing what you want rather than managing tools.
Why Use AI Skills Instead of Plugins or Extensions?
Traditional plugins are tied to a single application. AI skills are different: they are portable, version-controlled plain-text files that work wherever your AI works. You can store them in a Git repository, share them with your team, and update them without reinstalling anything. Unlike MCP servers, most skills require no running server process — they are pure instruction files that guide the AI's behavior using tools it already has access to. This makes skills dramatically simpler to install and maintain than traditional integrations, while still enabling complex, multi-step automation workflows.
Popular Skill Categories
The DiscoverAISkills catalog covers every major use case for AI agents. Developer tools help with code review, GitHub automation, and CI/CD pipelines. Writing skills assist with content creation, editing, and documentation. Research skills give your AI real-time web access and data analysis capabilities. Automation skills connect your AI to external services like Google Workspace, Slack, and Notion. Browse by category to find the skills that match your workflow, or use the search to find skills for a specific tool or task.
