This ranking lists the most-starred skills in the catalog. Each one ships with an install command and documents its inputs and expected outputs, so you know exactly what the agent will do before you run it.

FAQ
What is the difference between an agent skill and an MCP server?
An MCP server exposes tools and data sources over the Model Context Protocol. An agent skill is a packaged set of instructions and workflows that tells the agent how to use its tools well for a specific task. They complement each other: servers provide capability, skills provide method.
How do I install an agent skill?
Most skills install with a single npx command shown on the detail page, or by copying the skill definition into your client's skills directory. The exact steps and any required tools are listed on each entry.
Can I use these skills with any agent?
Skills are plain instruction sets, so most can be adapted to any agent client. The supported-clients list on each detail page shows where the author has tested the skill.
