Where do I find the best agent skills?
Skills are markdown files in public repositories, so the discovery layer is marketplaces: registries your agent installs from directly, search engines that index everything public, and curated lists that apply judgment. Check what a marketplace verifies before installing from it.

What to look for
- 01Does it vet what it lists, or index everything public? A skill instructs your agent with your agent's permissions — installing one is adding a dependency, not bookmarking a page.
- 02Can an agent install from it directly, or is it a reading list? Registries and curated indices are both useful; know which one you are browsing.
- 03Is it maintained? Skill conventions are converging fast, and a stale index points at skills written for last quarter's format.
Common questions
- What exactly is an agent skill?
- A markdown file of instructions — usually SKILL.md — that an agent loads for a specific job: a review checklist, a deploy process, a writing style. No code is required, which is why marketplaces can index millions of them straight from public repositories.
- Are skills from marketplaces safe to install?
- Treat them like dependencies. Public-marketplace audits keep finding injection-shaped instructions in skill files, and a skill runs with whatever permissions your agent has. Prefer sources that scan or curate, and read a skill before your agent runs it.
