cheat-score-blind
by XBuilderLABINTERNAL sub-agent for blind 7-dim rubric scoring. **NOT a user-facing skill — do NOT invoke from main conversation.** Called via Task tool by cheat-score / cheat-predict / cheat-bump to get a context-isolated score on a script. Receives ONLY script_path + rubric_notes_path; refuses any other input. Outputs strict JSON: 9 dimensions × {score 0-5, confidence enum, one-line reason}. **Hard refuses to Read** .cheat-state.json, predictions/*, retro 段, or anything that could leak post-publish data. This is channel B in the 3-channel calibration model (A=main, B=blind sub, C=cross-model).
cheat-bump
by XBuilderLAB提议并执行 rubric 或 bucket 升级。两种模式：**完整 rubric bump**（最高风险动作，5 步强制 + 跨模型审核）和 **--bucket-only 轻量重校**（只换 bucket 边界，不动 rubric 公式）。**Phase 2 强制走 cheat-score-blind sub-agent 给校准池重打分**——不接受 self-scored fallback。触发词："升级 rubric"/"bump rubric"/"更新公式"/"我想加一个维度"/"调整权重"/"重校桶"/"recalibrate bucket"。
cheat-status
by XBuilderLABcheat-on-content 的状态看板。显示当前模式 / rubric 版本 / 校准进度 / 待复盘 / pool 状态 / 是否该升级 SQLite / 是否该 bump rubric。**任何时候都可调，无副作用**。触发词："状态"/"看板"/"status"/"我现在该做什么"/"进度怎么样"。
cheat-on-content
by XBuilderLAB给所有想把"感觉"变成可校准预测的内容创作者。**方法论通用**——打分 → 盲预测 → T+3d 复盘 → 进化 rubric 的循环适用任何能被量化（播放 / 阅读 / 收听 / 点击）的内容。**rubric 是循环的内容，不是循环本身**——当前内置一份观点视频 rubric（参考博主 25+ 视频拟合），其他形态可借这套起步并 bump 调权重。**强烈建议导入对标账号**作为初始信号源（/cheat-learn-from）。触发词："初始化"/"打分这篇"/"启动预测"/"已发布"/"复盘"/"升级 rubric"/"推荐选题"/"抓热点"/"状态"/"找对标"/"learn from"。**首次使用必须先跑 /cheat-init。**
cheat-init
by XBuilderLABcheat-on-content 的首次 onboarding 与脚手架创建器。统一流程——所有用户都走相同 5 阶段闭环，唯一区别是"发过视频的人"会在 init 时多一步：抓取已有视频建立历史 context（用于后续 cheat-seed 给更贴合的选题、更准的 baseline）。触发词："初始化"/"init"/"首次使用"/"我是新用户"/"setup cheat-on-content"。**必须在用户第一次会话执行；其他子 skill 在 .cheat-state.json 不存在时自动路由到此。**
cheat-learn-from
by XBuilderLAB从对标账号导入 script + 数据 → 拆 pattern + 派生 base rubric 信号 → 写到 benchmark.md / script_patterns.md / rubric_notes.md。**这是工具最早期信号的来源**——cold-start 用户没自己历史时全靠对标，发过历史的用户也建议至少 1 个对标做 sanity check。触发词："学这个账号"/"拆这几个对标视频"/"learn from"/"导入对标账号"/"找对标"。
cheat-migrate
by XBuilderLAB把老用户的 .cheat-state.json 升级到当前 schema_version。读 migrations/registry.md 算迁移链，按顺序应用每一步迁移文件。幂等：跑两次结果一样。失败停在中间版本不前进。触发词："迁移"/"升级 state"/"migrate"/"我的 state 是老版本"/"schema 版本不对"。
cheat-persona
by XBuilderLAB从复盘评论数据派生 / 刷新账号的受众画像，写入 audience.md。这是和 rubric 平行的第二个派生物——rubric 答"怎么打分"，persona 答"谁在看"。cheat-seed 选题 / 写稿时读它。**audience.md 含实绩信号，cheat-score-blind 硬禁读**。触发词："构造受众画像"/"更新 persona"/"我的观众是谁"/"build persona"/"刷新受众画像"/"看看我的受众画像"。
cheat-predict
by XBuilderLAB给最终稿写一份 immutable 盲预测日志。这是 cheat-on-content 整个校准循环的核心动作——预测段一旦写完不可改，由 hook 强制。**自动检测**：如目标文件已有 `## 预测` / `## 预测 v1` 段（被 cheat-shoot 调用走 v2 模式），改成 append `## 预测 v2` 而非覆盖。**打分通过 Task tool 委派给 `cheat-score-blind` sub-agent**（context-isolated channel B），主 Claude review 后落盘。触发词："启动预测"/"start prediction"/"给这稿子打分并预测"/"写预测日志"。
cheat-publish
by XBuilderLAB登记一篇内容已发布，把 URL/平台 ID/发布时间写入对应预测文件 header 和 state file。这是一个轻量动作——只更新元数据，**不动预测段任何字符**。触发词："已发布"/"I shipped"/"发布链接是 X"/"刚发完 [url]"/"publish registered"。
cheat-recommend
by XBuilderLAB从 candidates.md 里按当前 rubric 排序推荐 top N 选题，每条带 composite + 一句 rationale + 锚点对比。**candidates 不存在时给引导而非报错**。触发词："推荐选题"/"next topic"/"下一篇做什么"/"recommend topics"/"挑一个选题"。
cheat-retro
by XBuilderLABT+N 天数据回收 + 复盘 + 把实绩观察写入 rubric-memo.md。这是校准循环的反馈环节——不复盘的预测等于占星。触发词："复盘 [path]"/"retro this"/"T+3d 数据来了"/"抓数据 [path]"/"把这篇复盘了"。

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.
