Awesome Agent Skills

A curated list of useful resources for Agent Skills - a lightweight, open format for extending AI agent capabilities with specialized knowledge and workflows.

🌟 What are Agent Skills?

A Skill is a directory containing a SKILL.md file (with metadata and instructions) and optional scripts/resources. This format allows agents to discover and load capabilities on demand, a concept known as "progressive disclosure".

Think of skills as "plugins" or "knowledge packs" that your agent can read to learn how to perform specific tasks—like editing a PDF, analyzing data, or managing a project—without needing that knowledge hardcoded into its system prompt.
