find-skills
by Vercel Labs
find-skills is the most installed agent skill in existence. 418,600 installs. Built by Vercel Labs, it is the gateway to the entire open agent skills ecosystem. You install this one first, then it helps you discover and install everything else. Run npx skills find and you get an interactive fuzzy search (fzf-style) across all available skills. Search by keyword, browse by category, filter by agent compatibility. Each result shows install count, source reputation, and GitHub stars so you can evaluate quality before installing. The ecosystem supports 41+ AI agents: Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, Continue, OpenHands, Gemini CLI, Antigravity, and dozens more. Skills install at project level (shared with your team via version control) or globally (available across all projects). The recommended method uses symlinks, so updates propagate automatically. Skills themselves are directories containing a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter (name, description) and markdown instructions that agents follow when activated. Think of them as pre-configured expert modes. Install a release-notes skill, and Claude Code generates structured changelogs. Install a code-review skill, and Codex reviews PRs with specific criteria. Key commands: npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills to install a skill package, npx skills list to see installed skills, npx skills find typescript to search by keyword, npx skills remove to uninstall. Full CLI flag support means you can automate skill management in CI/CD pipelines. 12,800 GitHub stars on the vercel-labs/skills repo. The ecosystem is growing fast: Vercel's official agent-skills collection provides curated skills, and third-party authors publish skills through GitHub and GitLab. If you use any AI coding agent, this is the first skill to install. Browse more agent skills on Skila. For the tools these skills extend, see our AI coding tools directory.
