Quick Start: Install Agent Skills

Use the open-source Skills CLI to choose skills and install them for your detected agents:

npx skills add seb1n/awesome-ai-agent-skills

List all available skills without installing:

npx skills add seb1n/awesome-ai-agent-skills --list

Install one skill directly:

npx skills add seb1n/awesome-ai-agent-skills --skill agent-evaluation

Install several complementary skills by repeating --skill:

npx skills add seb1n/awesome-ai-agent-skills \
  --skill agent-evaluation \
  --skill agent-observability \
  --skill human-in-the-loop

Starter Packs

What Are Agent Skills?

Agent Skills are reusable instruction packages that teach an AI agent when and how to complete a task. Each skill follows the open Agent Skills standard: a SKILL.md file with activation metadata and step-by-step guidance, plus optional scripts, references, and assets. Agents load a skill only when it is relevant, keeping context focused.

Why This Library?

Unlike collections that send you to external repositories, Awesome AI Agent Skills keeps every workflow in one inspectable, installable library.

Ready to use: Install a single skill, a starter pack, or choose from the complete catalog.
Cross-agent compatible: Use the same skills with Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, and other compatible tools.
Validated structure: CI checks names, activation descriptions, links, duplicates, catalog synchronization, skill count, and bundled Python syntax.
Progressive disclosure: Deeper skills bundle focused scripts, references, and assets without loading everything into context.
Broad real-world coverage: Build agents for engineering, security, data, research, documents, compliance, finance, marketing, sales, and customer success.
Open source: The library is MIT licensed and open to review, adaptation, and contribution.

# Skill Name

Instructions, workflows, and examples for the agent.

Quality and Validation

Run the zero-dependency catalog validator locally:

python3 scripts/validate_skills.py

The same validation runs in CI. New and materially revised skills must also test one normal prompt, one edge or failure prompt, and every executable script. See CONTRIBUTING.md for the complete quality and safety checklist.

Contributing

We welcome contributions from the community. Whether you want to add a new skill, improve an existing one, or fix a bug, please see our CONTRIBUTING.md for guidelines.
