Frequently asked questions
What is an agent skill?
A folder with a SKILL.md file that teaches an AI agent one job, such as turning meeting notes into action items. Agents such as Claude Code and Codex read every skill's name and description when they start, and load the full instructions when your request matches one.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Installing a skill is one line that you copy and paste into your terminal. To make your own, the Skill Builder walks you through twelve steps, and Claude can interview you and write the first draft.
Who decides the score?
A script with 27 fixed checks over the SKILL.md and the files beside it. No AI reads the skill to judge it, so a score can't change from one run to the next, and every check is listed above.
What does Verified mean?
A skill from GitHub is Verified when it scores 80 or more and follows the format. A skill made in the Skill Builder is Verified when the builder rates it 9 or 10 out of 10 and it passes all 12 production checks, one of which is a recorded test run.
Why do well-known skills score in the 50s and 60s?
Most were written before there was a shared idea of what a skill needs. The usual gaps are a "done" checklist, a line that says when not to use the skill, and steps for when something fails. The median score in the registry is 63.
Can I get my own skill checked?
Yes. Import it into the Skill Builder, as a folder or a pasted SKILL.md, to see its score with every failed check named. Fix them there, then publish it to the Verified list.
How current is the data?
The registry is a snapshot taken on 12 November 2026. It is refreshed every week, and every skill it finds is checked again.
