Skills Directory

Skills Directory is a curated registry of over 36,000 agent skills — instructions, prompts, and workflows that enhance how AI agents like Claude assist you. Every skill undergoes automated security analysis covering 50+ rules across 10 threat categories before being listed, protecting users from prompt injection, credential theft, and data exfiltration. Skills can be installed globally via the openskills npm package or copied directly into Claude with a single click. The platform is community-driven, allowing developers to submit, vote on, and discover skill collections for specific workflows.
