codemap
by JordanCoinAnalyze codebase structure, dependencies, changes, cross-agent handoffs, and get code-aware intelligence. Use when user asks about project structure, where code is located, how files connect, what changed, how to resume work, before starting any coding task, when you need risk analysis and skill guidance, or when Codemap should tune project config before analysis.
config-setup
by JordanCoinSet up or tune .codemap/config.json so Codemap focuses on code-relevant parts of the repo. Use when config is missing, boilerplate, noisy, or mismatched to the stack.
coreml
by JordanCoinIntegrate and optimize Core ML models in iOS apps for on-device machine learning inference. Covers model loading (.mlmodelc, .mlpackage), predictions with auto-generated classes and MLFeatureProvider, compute unit configuration (CPU, GPU, Neural Engine), MLTensor, VNCoreMLRequest, MLComputePlan, multi-model pipelines, and deployment strategies. Use when loading Core ML models, making predictions, configuring compute units, or profiling model performance.
browserenginekit
by JordanCoinBuild alternative browser engines using BrowserEngineKit. Use when developing a non-WebKit browser engine for iOS in the EU, managing web content rendering processes, configuring GPU and networking processes for browser functionality, checking device eligibility for alternative engines, or working with BrowserEngineKit entitlements.
scenekit
by JordanCoinBuild 3D scenes and visualizations using SceneKit. Use when creating 3D views with SCNView and SCNScene, building node hierarchies with SCNNode, applying materials and lighting, animating with SCNAction, simulating physics with SCNPhysicsBody, loading 3D models (.usdz, .scn), adding particle effects, or embedding SceneKit in SwiftUI with SceneView. Note: SceneKit was deprecated at WWDC 2025 and is in maintenance mode; RealityKit is recommended for new projects.
macos-menubar-tuist-app
by JordanCoinBuild, refactor, or review macOS menubar apps that use Tuist and SwiftUI. Use when creating or maintaining LSUIElement menubar utilities, defining Tuist targets/manifests, implementing model-client-store-view architecture, adding script-based launch flows, or validating reliable local build/run behavior without Xcode-first workflows.
writing-for-interfaces
by JordanCoinUse when someone asks to write, rewrite, review, or improve text that appears inside a product or interface. Examples: "review the UX copy", "is there a better way to phrase this", "rewrite this error message", "write copy for this screen/flow/page", reviewing button labels, improving CLI output messages, writing onboarding copy, settings descriptions, or confirmation dialogs. Trigger whenever the request involves wording shown to end users inside software — apps, web, CLI, email notifications, modals, tooltips, empty states, or alerts. Also trigger for vague requests like "review the UX" where interface copy review is implied. Do NOT trigger for content marketing, blog posts, app store listings, API docs, brand guides, cover letters, or interview questions — this is a technical writing skill for interface language.
critical-reasoning
by JordanCoinApply critical rationalist epistemology (Popper, Deutsch) to evaluate reasoning, identify errors, and refine understanding. Use when the user explicitly requests help with reasoning - phrases like "help me think this through", "does this make sense", "any flaws in this", "what am I missing", "critique this", "is this reasoning sound", "stress test this idea", "devil's advocate", or any request to evaluate arguments, identify logical problems, or improve thinking. Also use when errors in reasoning are significant enough to materially affect the user's goals, even if not explicitly requested.
swiftui-expert-skill
by JordanCoinWrite, review, or improve SwiftUI code following best practices for state management, view composition, performance, macOS-specific APIs, and iOS 26+ Liquid Glass adoption. Use when building new SwiftUI features, refactoring existing views, reviewing code quality, or adopting modern SwiftUI patterns.
xcode-build-orchestrator
by JordanCoinOrchestrate Xcode build optimization by benchmarking first, running the specialist analysis skills, prioritizing findings, requesting explicit approval, delegating approved fixes to xcode-build-fixer, and re-benchmarking after changes. Use when a developer wants an end-to-end build optimization workflow, asks to speed up Xcode builds, wants a full build audit, or needs a recommend-first optimization pass covering compilation, project settings, and packages.
ios-simulator-skill
by JordanCoin21 production-ready scripts for iOS app testing, building, and automation. Provides semantic UI navigation, build automation, accessibility testing, and simulator lifecycle management. Optimized for AI agents with minimal token output.
figma-to-swiftui
by JordanCoinTranslate Figma designs into production-ready SwiftUI code with 1:1 visual fidelity using the Figma MCP workflow. Trigger when the user provides Figma URLs or node IDs and wants iOS/SwiftUI implementation, asks to implement a design or component from Figma for an iOS app, or references Figma selections in the context of an Xcode/SwiftUI project. Also trigger when user asks to inspect Figma designs for iOS planning, fetch design tokens for SwiftUI, or convert Figma assets for Xcode. Requires a working Figma MCP server connection. Do NOT trigger for web/React implementations.

Explore the agent skills ecosystem by occupation and creator
SkillMD is not just a keyword search box. It is an open map that organizes public skills by occupation, creator, and repository, helping you see which workflows, judgment criteria, and domain habits people are writing for AI agents.
Then follow creators and GitHub repositories back to the source: compare the skills a team maintains, whether the repo is active, and how the README frames the work before you open, install, or reuse anything.
Use it three ways: learn an unfamiliar field by occupation, study how creators organize skills, then use source context to decide what is worth opening or reusing.
01 Map a field
Browse 23 occupation groups and 867 SOC roles to learn what skills exist in adjacent domains and how they break down real work.
02 Follow creators
Use creator and repository pages to inspect maintained skill collections, recent updates, and source context before trusting a result.
03 Search with sources
Search 1.7M+ collected skills, then use occupation tags, creators, and GitHub source context to decide what is worth opening.
Start with the occupation map, then follow creators and repositories back to real code. SkillMD helps explain why a skill is worth opening, not only what it is named.
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.
