Awesome Agent Skills

2,043 agent skills for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Gemini CLI, indexed weekly from 45 public repositories, each one scanned for the patterns a skill should never need. Searchable at usethisskill.com.

Scan a skill before you install it

A skill is a folder of instructions an agent follows with your permissions. This one command checks every skill folder in a repository for fetch-and-execute commands, destructive commands, data sent to outside endpoints, obfuscated code, rules-override text, credential access, privilege escalation, persistence and force-pushes, with the file and line for each finding:

npx github:nodegenie/awesome-agent-skills scan

clear    .claude/skills/weather-fetcher  (1 files)
FLAGGED  skills/paperclip  (6 files)
         ! Downloads and executes code in one step
           skills/paperclip/references/installation.md:13  curl -fsSL https://example.com/install.sh | bash

2 skill folder(s): flagged. Rules: https://usethisskill.com/safety

Or on every pull request:

- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: nodegenie/awesome-agent-skills/scan@main
  with:
    fail-on: flag   # or review, or none

Across the directory today: 1,969 clear, 59 to review, 15 flagged. Free for public repositories; private repositories use a Team key from usethisskill.com/pricing. Every rule is explained at usethisskill.com/safety.

Proven skills

Star counts show who found a skill. A proof shows what it changes. On Use This Skill, each proven skill was run through Claude twice on the same brief, on the same model, once without the skill and once with it. Both results are saved as live pages with the model, brief and the skill's exact commit recorded, so anyone can run the comparison again.

Install a skill

Every skill has a one-line install command that copies the skill folder into your project:

npx degit anthropics/skills/skills/frontend-design .claude/skills/frontend-design

Claude Code reads .claude/skills/ automatically. Codex, Cursor and other agents have equivalent folders; each skill's page on usethisskill.com shows the command for yours.
