dlt-connector
by CannerConnect SaaS data (HubSpot, Stripe, Salesforce, GitHub, Slack, etc.) to Wren Engine for SQL analysis. Guides the user through the full flow: install dlt, pick a SaaS source, set up credentials, run the data pipeline into DuckDB, then auto-generate a Wren semantic project from the loaded data. Use this skill whenever the user mentions: connecting SaaS data, importing data from an API, dlt pipelines, loading HubSpot/Stripe/Salesforce/GitHub/Slack data, querying SaaS data with SQL, or setting up a new data source from a REST API. Also trigger when the user already has a dlt-produced DuckDB file and wants to create a Wren project from it.
enrich-context
by CannerAugment a Wren project with business context that DB schema cannot carry — enum value meanings, units (USD vs cents, ms vs sec), NULL semantics, magic sentinels (-1 = unknown), soft-delete default filters, business synonyms, time-grain / TZ conventions, cross-system identifiers, currency rules, canonical-table preferences, AND named aggregation metrics (ARR, churn, DAU, WAU, NRR) proposed as cubes. Runs in one of two modes selected at session start: `grill` (one question at a time, user-driven) or `auto-pilot` (agent infers and applies, escalates only on conflicts and high-blast-radius additions like new cubes / views / relationships). Reads everything under <project>/raw/ (PDFs, glossaries, handbooks, code, data dictionaries) and optionally samples low-cardinality columns from the live DB (grill mode), compares against the current MDL / cubes / instructions.md / queries.yml / memory pairs, then fills gaps via the ten-category gap catalog and the cube proposal flow. Confirmed findings are written back to the
generate-mdl
by CannerGenerate a Wren MDL project by exploring a database with available tools (SQLAlchemy, database drivers, MCP connectors, or raw SQL). Guides agents through schema discovery, type normalization, and MDL YAML generation using the wren CLI. Use when: user wants to create or set up a new MDL, onboard a new data source, or scaffold a project from an existing database.
onboarding
by CannerOnboard a user to Wren Engine end-to-end. Walks through environment checks, project scaffolding, connection configuration via .env, and first query. Use when: user wants to install Wren Engine, set up a new data source connection, or bootstrap a new project from scratch. Triggers: '/wren-onboarding', 'install wren', 'set up wren engine', 'wren onboarding', 'connect new database to wren'.
usage
by CannerWren Engine CLI workflow guide for AI agents. Answer data questions end-to-end using the wren CLI: gather schema context, recall past queries, write SQL through the MDL semantic layer, execute, and learn from confirmed results. Use when: user asks a data question, requests a report or analysis, asks about metrics, revenue, customers, orders, trends, or any business data; user says 'how many', 'show me', 'what is the', 'top N', 'compare', 'trend', 'growth', 'breakdown'; user wants to explore, analyze, filter, aggregate, or summarize data from a database; agent needs to query data, connect a data source, handle errors, or manage MDL changes via the wren CLI.
wren
by CannerWren CLI for AI agents — a semantic SQL layer over 22+ databases (Postgres, MySQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, Spark, …). The actual workflow guides live inside the `wren` CLI itself; this is just a discovery stub. Use whenever the user asks a data question (how many, show me, top N, compare, trend, breakdown, metric, revenue, customers, orders), wants to install / set up Wren Engine, connect a new database, connect SaaS data via dlt (HubSpot, Stripe, Salesforce, GitHub, Slack), generate or regenerate an MDL project from a database schema, enrich a project with business context (enum meanings, units, cubes like ARR / DAU / churn), or turn a project's context layer into a shareable GenBI web app / dashboard and deploy it to Vercel or Cloudflare. Triggers: 'install wren', 'set up wren engine', 'connect database to wren', 'connect SaaS to wren', 'load hubspot / stripe / salesforce data', 'generate mdl', 'scaffold wren project', 'enrich wren context', 'augment my project', 'add cubes', 'build a dashboard', 'make a share
genbi
by CannerTurn a Wren project's context layer into a shareable, browser-side GenBI web app and deploy it to the user's Vercel or Cloudflare account. Orchestrates the full flow: `wren genbi build` returns a project-hydrated build instruction, the agent authors the app from scratch into apps/<name>/, then register → verify → deploy produce a shareable URL. Use this skill whenever the user wants to: build a dashboard from their Wren project, make a shareable analytics app, deploy their context layer as a web app, host a GenBI app on Vercel or Cloudflare Pages, or asks for a 'genbi app'.
wren-quickstart
by CannerEnd-to-end quickstart for Wren Engine — create a workspace, generate an MDL from a live database, save it as a versioned project, start the Wren MCP Docker container, and verify the setup with a health check. Trigger when a user wants to set up Wren Engine from scratch, onboard a new data source, or get started with Wren MCP. Requires dependent skills already installed (use /wren-usage to install them first).
wren-usage
by CannerWren Engine — semantic SQL engine for AI agents. Query 22+ data sources (PostgreSQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, MySQL, ClickHouse, etc.) through a modeling layer (MDL). This skill is the main entry point: it guides setup, delegates to focused sub-skills for SQL authoring, MDL generation, project management, and MCP server operations. Use when: write SQL, query data, generate or update MDL, change database connection, manage YAML projects, set up or operate MCP server, or get started with Wren Engine for the first time.
wren-dlt-connector
by CannerConnect SaaS data (HubSpot, Stripe, Salesforce, GitHub, Slack, etc.) to Wren Engine for SQL analysis. Guides the user through the full flow: install dlt, pick a SaaS source, set up credentials, run the data pipeline into DuckDB, then auto-generate a Wren semantic project from the loaded data.

Standardizing Agent Capabilities with SKILL.md and Model Context Protocol (MCP)
In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, LLM agents (Large Language Model agents) have transitioned from simple text predictors to autonomous problem solvers. To orchestrate complex, multi-step agentic workflows, developers require a standardized format to specify agent capabilities, prompt instructions, system rules, and database bindings. This is where SKILL.md and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) have emerged as standard developer paradigms. SkillMD serves as the central directory for indexing, exploring, and sharing these critical agent configurations.
Our open-source registry currently tracks over 1.7 million collected SKILL.md configurations and system prompts. By compiling agent configurations from active developers on GitHub, we bridge the gap between prompt engineering research and production execution. Whether you are building agents with Anthropic's Claude Code, OpenAI's GPT-4, Google's Gemini, or local models using Ollama and LlamaIndex, standardized skill definitions ensure your agents behave predictably across different runtime environments.
What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open-source standard designed to connect LLMs to data sources, developer tools, and external environments. MCP establishes a bidirectional communication channel between client applications (like Cursor, Claude Desktop, or custom agent systems) and servers hosting data or capabilities. Standardizing instructions via SKILL.md enables LLMs to query databases, read local files, execute terminal commands, and integrate third-party APIs. SkillMD allows you to find ready-to-run MCP servers and prompt instructions for various occupations and technical tasks.
The Structure of a Professional SKILL.md File
A valid SKILL.md configuration is designed to be easily read by humans and parsed by LLMs. It contains precise system instructions, trigger conditions, required parameters, and execution examples. Below is the typical architectural blueprint of a professional agent skill:
- Metadata & Core Scope: Declares the name of the skill, author details, target models, and a description of the capability.
- Triggers & Intent Detection: Details semantic triggers that help the agent decide when to invoke this skill.
- System Prompts: Explicit system-level instructions that direct the agent's behavior, personality, safety guardrails, and formatting preferences.
- Capabilities & Tools: Lists the files, databases, or APIs the agent must access to complete the tasks.
- Few-Shot Examples: Demonstrates real inputs and outputs, helping the model generalize behavior through in-context learning.
Optimizing Agent Workflows for Modern LLMs
Writing effective agent skills requires deep knowledge of prompt engineering. With the release of advanced reasoning models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet, ChatGPT o1, and DeepSeek-V3, prompt templates must focus on structured thinking. Developers are encouraged to use XML tags (e.g., <thought>, <context>, and <rules>) to isolate execution boundaries. Standardized prompts prevent agents from suffering from context drift, ensuring that long-running tasks remain aligned with the initial system parameters.
Exploring by SOC Occupations and Creator Profiles
What makes SkillMD unique is its taxonomy. Instead of simple text search, we parse and organize files according to the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. This means you can discover skills written for Computer and Mathematical roles, Business and Financial operations, Legal, Design, and and Educational Instruction fields. By tracking creator profiles, developers can study how different teams organize their custom instructions, compare version updates, and fork public configs for specialized enterprise use cases.
SkillMD operates as a high-performance index running on a fast Go backend and a highly responsive Astro SSR frontend. All search queries execute in milliseconds, featuring smart debouncing to prevent multiple API requests while keeping user data secure.
