migrate-state-management
by SigNozMigrate Redux or React Context to the correct state option (React Query for server state, nuqs for URL/shareable state, Zustand for global client state). Use when refactoring away from Redux/Context, moving state to the right store, or when the user asks to migrate state management.
signoz-docs-pr-review
by SigNozReview SigNoz documentation pull requests — post inline findings, verify OpenTelemetry technical accuracy with sources, decide add-to-onboarding labeling, and write a concise checklist-based summary. Use when asked to review docs PRs, check documentation changes, evaluate MDX content in data/docs, or assess any docs-related PR, even when the user just says "review this PR" and the changed files are documentation.
signoz-visual-review
by SigNozReview SigNoz feature pages and components for visual design quality — hierarchy, typography, spacing, color, and polish. Use when asked to "review this page visually", "make this look better", "improve the design", "fix the UI", audit visual consistency, or evaluate a feature page's design against best practices. Also activates for requests like "check the styling" or "does this page look good".
signoz-feature-page-builder
by SigNozCreate new SigNoz feature pages following established architecture, shared components, and design patterns. Use when asked to "create a feature page", "build a landing page", "new product page", "scaffold a page like trace-funnels", or any request to build a marketing/product page for a SigNoz feature. Also activates for "add a page for [feature]", "build a page similar to alerts/external-apis/why-signoz", "here's the copy for the page", "build from this copy", or "use this Figma file to build a page".
signoz-website-frontend-pr-review
by SigNozReview SigNoz frontend pull requests for duplication, architecture, App Router best practices, performance, maintainability, and accessibility. Use when asked to review JS/TS/React/Next.js changes, check components or hooks, evaluate frontend code quality, or review any PR whose changed files are under app/, components/, hooks/, utils/, or similar frontend paths.
signoz-setting-up-observability
by SigNozRun the full end-to-end observability setup for a service after its telemetry is already flowing into SigNoz — sequence SLI/SLO capture, data exploration (RED/USE), focused dashboards, saved Explorer views, burn-rate and absent-data alerts, and a tuning loop into one opinionated, SLO-aware workflow. Make sure to use this skill whenever the user says "set up observability after ingestion", "now that data is flowing, give me dashboards and alerts", "onboard this service to SigNoz end-to-end", "I want the full monitoring setup for X", or asks to go from raw telemetry to a complete dashboard + alerts + views package — even if they don't say "observability" explicitly. This is the orchestration layer: for a single artifact (just a dashboard, just one alert, just a saved view, or one static threshold alert, or a one-off query) use signoz-creating-dashboards, signoz-creating-alerts, signoz-managing-views, or signoz-generating-queries directly.
signoz-creating-alerts
by SigNozCreate a new SigNoz alert rule from a natural-language intent — threshold, anomaly, log-volume, error-rate, latency, or absent-data alerts across metrics, logs, traces, and exceptions. Make sure to use this skill whenever the user says "alert me when…", "notify me if…", "set up monitoring for…", "page me on…", "create an alert for…", or asks for a new alert/notification rule, even if they don't say the word "alert" explicitly. Also use it when someone asks to be notified about error rates, latency spikes, log volume, CPU/memory pressure, or anomalous behavior on a service or host.
signoz-creating-dashboards
by SigNozCreate a new SigNoz dashboard from a natural-language intent — import a curated template (PostgreSQL, Redis, JVM, k8s, hostmetrics, APM, LLM, etc.) when one fits, or build a custom dashboard from scratch with metric / trace / log panels. Make sure to use this skill whenever the user says "create a dashboard for…", "set up monitoring for…", "build me a dashboard…", "I need observability for…", "import a dashboard template", or asks to track / visualize a service, database, cluster, or AI/LLM platform — even if they don't explicitly say "dashboard". Also use it when someone wants to "monitor", "watch", or "see metrics for" a technology and the natural answer is a dashboard.
signoz-explaining-alerts
by SigNozDescribe what an existing SigNoz alert rule does in plain language — the signal it watches, the threshold and evaluation behavior, the notification routing, and a one-line fire-frequency summary so the user knows whether the alert has been active. Make sure to use this skill whenever the user asks "what does this alert do", "explain alert X", "walk me through this rule", "how does my [Y] alert work", "is this alert configured correctly", or otherwise asks for an interpretation of an existing alert's configuration. Static explanation only — for diagnosing a specific firing incident, use `signoz-investigating-alerts`.
signoz-explaining-dashboards
by SigNozExplain what an existing SigNoz dashboard shows in plain operational language — the panels, queries, variables, and what to watch for on each. Make sure to use this skill whenever the user asks "explain this dashboard", "what does my [X] dashboard show", "walk me through the panels", "what should I watch for on this dashboard", or "help me understand this dashboard", or otherwise asks for an interpretation of a dashboard's contents — even if they don't say "explain" explicitly. Also use it when someone is onboarding to a service and wants to understand what its existing observability looks like.
signoz-generating-queries
by SigNozGenerate, write, or run an ad-hoc query against SigNoz observability data — metrics, logs, traces, or exceptions — without wrapping it in a dashboard panel or alert. Make sure to use this skill whenever the user asks "show me error rates", "query logs for timeout errors", "what's the p99 latency for the cart service", "how many requests hit the payment endpoint", "find slow traces", "errors in the last hour", or otherwise asks an exploratory question that needs live observability data — even if they don't say "query" or "search" explicitly.
signoz-investigating-alerts
by SigNozDiagnose why a SigNoz alert fired by correlating the alert's own signal with neighbor signals (error rate, latency, throughput, CPU/memory), traces, and logs around the fire window — and rank likely causes. Make sure to use this skill whenever the user asks "why did this alert fire", "what caused alert X", "investigate this alert", "RCA for the alert that paged me", "what's wrong with [service]" in the context of a recent fire, or otherwise asks for a root-cause analysis of a firing or recently-fired alert. Read-only — does not modify any alert or notification.

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.
