bkt
by avivsinaiBitbucket CLI for Data Center and Cloud. Use when users need to manage repositories, pull requests, branches, issues, webhooks, or pipelines in Bitbucket. Triggers include "bitbucket", "bkt", "pull request", "PR", "repo list", "branch create", "Bitbucket Data Center", "Bitbucket Cloud", "keyring timeout".
langfuse
by avivsinaiDebug AI agents and LLM applications via Langfuse MCP. Use when investigating traces, exceptions, slow generations, sessions, prompt versions, datasets, or evaluation sets. Triggers on "langfuse", "traces", "debug AI", "find exceptions", "what went wrong", "why is it slow", "datasets", "evaluation sets".
jk
by avivsinaiJenkins CLI for controllers. Use when users need to manage jobs, pipelines, config.xml, runs, logs, artifacts, credentials, nodes, or queues in Jenkins. Triggers include "jenkins", "jk", "pipeline", "build", "job create", "job config", "config.xml", "run logs", "jenkins credentials", "jenkins node".
amq-spec
by avivsinaiParallel-research-then-converge design workflow between two agents. Use this skill when the user wants two agents to independently think through a design problem before aligning on a solution — "spec X with codex", "design X together", "both agents think through X", "brainstorm architecture together", "parallel research then joint proposal", "think through separately then align", "careful thought from both sides before coding", or any variation where the user wants collaborative design rather than just splitting implementation work. Also use this when you receive a message labeled workflow:spec and need to know the correct receiver-side protocol. Not for sending simple messages or reviews (use /amq-cli), implementing completed designs, or creating document templates.
amq-cli
by avivsinaiCoordinate agents via the AMQ CLI for file-based inter-agent messaging. Use this skill whenever you need to send messages to another agent (codex, claude, or any named handle), check your inbox, drain queued messages, set up co-op mode between agents, join a swarm team, route messages across projects, or diagnose delivery issues. Also use it when you receive a message and need to know how to reply, inspect receipts, or handle priority. Covers any multi-agent coordination task where agents need to talk to each other — review requests, questions, status updates, decision threads, wake notifications, and orchestrator integration (Symphony, Kanban). For collaborative spec/design workflows specifically, prefer the /amq-spec skill which provides structured phase-by-phase guidance. Not intended for distributed systems design (RabbitMQ, Kafka), CI/CD pipelines, or single-agent tasks with no partner.
yoetz
by avivsinaiFast CLI-first LLM council, bundler, and multimodal gateway. Use ONLY when user explicitly mentions "yoetz", "yoetz ask", "yoetz council", "yoetz review", "yoetz generate", "yoetz bundle", "yoetz browser". NOT triggered by generic "second opinion" or "ask another model" requests.
sabx
by avivsinaiControl SABnzbd download manager via CLI. Use when users need to check download queue/history, add NZBs, manage priorities, control speed limits, pause/resume downloads, configure RSS feeds, run scheduled tasks, or automate Usenet workflows. Triggers include "sabnzbd", "sabx", "downloads", "nzb", "usenet", "download queue", "download status".

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.
