remediation-verifier
by RHEcosystemAppEng**CRITICAL**: This skill must be used for remediation verification. DO NOT use raw MCP tools like get_cve or get_host_details directly for verification. Verify CVE remediation success by checking Red Hat Lightspeed CVE status, validating package versions, and confirming service health. Use when: - "Verify CVE remediation was successful" - "Confirm package updates were applied" - "Check if CVE-X is fixed on target systems" - "Validate remediation after playbook execution" This skill orchestrates MCP tools (get_cve, get_cve_systems, get_host_details) for remediation verification. **IMPORTANT**: ALWAYS use this skill instead of calling verification MCP tools directly.
remediation
by RHEcosystemAppEng**CRITICAL**: Use this skill for ALL CVE remediation workflows. DO NOT use individual skills piecemeal for end-to-end remediation. Use when users request: - CVE remediation playbooks or security patch deployment - Multi-step remediation (validation → context → playbook → execution) - Batch remediation across multiple systems or CVEs - End-to-end CVE management (analysis + remediation + verification) - Prioritizing and remediating CVEs (not just listing them) - Emergency security response with immediate remediation plans DO NOT use for simple queries: - "List critical CVEs" → Use `/cve-impact` skill - "What's the CVSS score for CVE-X?" → Use `/cve-impact` or `/cve-validation` - Standalone impact analysis without remediation → Use `/cve-impact` This skill orchestrates 6 specialized skills (cve-impact, cve-validation, system-context, playbook-generator, playbook-executor, remediation-verifier) for complete remediation workflows.
nim-setup
by RHEcosystemAppEngConfigure NVIDIA NIM platform on OpenShift AI for optimized model inference.

NOT for creating VMs (use vm-create) or lifecycle only (use vm-lifecycle-manager).
vm-snapshot-delete
by RHEcosystemAppEngPermanently delete virtual machine snapshots to free storage space. Use when: - "Delete snapshot [snapshot-name]" - "Remove old snapshots for VM [name]" - "Free up snapshot storage" Requires user confirmation before deletion. NOT for restoring VMs (use vm-snapshot-restore instead).
vm-lifecycle-manager
by RHEcosystemAppEngManage virtual machine lifecycle operations including start, stop, and restart. Use when: - "Start VM [name]" - "Stop the virtual machine [name]" - "Restart VM [name]" - "Power on/off VM [name]" This skill handles VM state transitions safely with user confirmation for each action. NOT for creating VMs (use vm-create) or deleting VMs (use vm-delete).
vm-snapshot-create
by RHEcosystemAppEngCreate virtual machine snapshots for backup and recovery. Use when: - "Create a snapshot of VM [name]" - "Backup VM [name] before upgrade" - "Take a snapshot of [vm]" Validates storage class snapshot support, CSI driver capabilities, and guest agent status before snapshot creation. NOT for VM cloning (use vm-clone to create independent copies).
vm-snapshot-restore
by RHEcosystemAppEngRestore virtual machines from snapshots with strict safety confirmations to prevent data loss. Use when: - "Restore VM [name] from snapshot [snapshot-name]" - "Roll back VM [name] to snapshot" - "Recover VM [name] from backup" CRITICAL: Requires VM to be stopped and typed snapshot name confirmation before restore. NOT for creating snapshots (use vm-snapshot-create instead).
vm-snapshot-list
by RHEcosystemAppEngList virtual machine snapshots across namespaces with status, age, and recovery information. Use when: - "List snapshots for VM [name]" - "Show snapshots in namespace [name]" - "What snapshots exist for [vm]?" Read-only operation - no user confirmation required. NOT for creating/deleting snapshots (use vm-snapshot-create/delete instead).

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.
