ace-step
by agentspace-soGenerate, inpaint, and outpaint music with ACE Step on RunComfy via the `runcomfy` CLI. ACE Step is StepFun-AI's open-weights music foundation model — tag-driven composition (genre, mood, instruments), multilingual lyrics with section markers, 5 s to 4 min stereo output, $0.0002–0.0003 per second (≈ 27× cheaper than ElevenLabs Music). Four endpoints: ACE Step text-to-audio (the default), ACE Step 1.5 text-to-audio (50+ language lyrics, refined structured-lyric handling), ACE Step audio-inpaint (regenerate a time range inside an existing track), ACE Step audio-outpaint (extend an existing track before or after). Triggers on "ace step", "ace-step", "acestep", "ACE music", "open music model", "cheap AI music", "inpaint audio", "audio inpaint", "extend music", "audio outpaint", "lengthen track", "music with tags", or any explicit ask to generate or edit music with ACE Step.
video-inpainting
by agentspace-soRegion edits across video frames on RunComfy via the `runcomfy` CLI — remove an object that appears across many frames, clean up wires or watermarks, replace a region with matching motion. Routes across Wan 2-7 edit-video (default, prompt-driven region edits with spatial language), Lucy Edit Restyle (identity-stable region-aware restyle), and Seedream 4-0 edit-sequential (when treating the clip as a frame stack). Picks the right route based on whether the change is prose-driven, identity-locked, or needs frame-by-frame still inpaint chained into a video. Triggers on "video inpaint", "video inpainting", "remove from video", "mask region in video", "clean up video", "remove object from clip", "video patch", "frame-by-frame edit", "remove watermark from video", "remove passing person", or any explicit ask to edit a region across video frames.
ai-music

Triggers on "generate image", "make a picture", "text to image", "AI image", "make an image of …", "image to image", "i2i", or any explicit ask to create or restyle an image.
codex-pet
by agentspace-soCodex Pet generator on RunComfy. Build a Codex-compatible Codex Pet spritesheet.webp + pet.json from a single reference image, drop it into `${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/pets/<name>/` and Codex picks it up as a custom Codex Pet next to the 8 built-ins. This skill produces the exact Codex Pet atlas Codex expects (1536x1872 PNG/WebP, 8 cols x 9 rows, 192x208 cells, 9 animation states — idle, running-right, running-left, waving, jumping, failed, waiting, running, review). Calls OpenAI GPT Image 2 edit ONCE via the local RunComfy CLI as `runcomfy run openai/gpt-image-2/edit` to produce a canonical Codex Pet pose, then assembles all 9 animation rows programmatically with ImageMagick micro-transforms — no Codex Pro, no `$imagegen`, no OPENAI_API_KEY required, only RUNCOMFY_TOKEN. Triggers on "codex pet", "create codex pet", "make codex pet", "hatch codex pet", "/hatch image", "desktop pet codex", "codex pets", "spritesheet.webp", or any explicit ask to build a custom pet for OpenAI Codex.

The `runcomfy` CLI is one binary, one auth, hundreds of model endpoints — image generation, image edit, video generation, image-to-video, lip-sync, face swap, video edit, inpainting, outpainting, extend, ControlNet, relight, upscale, LoRA training and more. Submit a request, poll for status, download the output.

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.
