akbun-learning-japanese
by choisungwookJapanese pronunciation and reading guide for Korean learners. Provide Korean approximation pronunciation (한국어 발음), hiragana conversion for kanji, kanji meaning breakdown, chunked reading, direct translation (직독직해), and pronunciation tips for Japanese words, sentences, or paragraphs. Use this skill when the user provides Japanese text and asks for pronunciation help, reading guidance, Korean phonetic transcription, kanji reading, or Japanese study assistance. Trigger on: Japanese sentences or paragraphs with requests like '발음', '읽기', '번역', 'pronunciation', 'how to read', '일본어 공부', '일본어 문장', '끊어 읽기', '한자', '히라가나', or any request to break down Japanese text for a Korean learner.
akbun-make-anki-japanese
by choisungwookConvert photos or PDFs of Japanese words and sentences into an Anki deck (.apkg) for a Korean beginner learner. Takes one or more screenshot images and/or a PDF containing Japanese vocabulary or example sentences, extracts each item, and generates an Anki package where the front shows the Japanese (kanji/kana) with built-in Anki TTS audio and the back shows hiragana reading + Korean meaning. Saves the deck to ~/anki-jp-{timestamp}.apkg. Trigger on: '일본어 사진', '일본어 스크린샷', '일본어 pdf', '일본어 단어', '일본어 문장', 'anki 만들어', '앙키 덱', '일본어 단어장', 'japanese photo to anki', 'japanese screenshot to anki', 'japanese pdf to anki', or any request to turn photos/PDFs of Japanese words or sentences into an Anki import file. Use this skill whenever the user provides Japanese images or PDFs and wants flashcards — even if they don't explicitly say 'Anki'.

akbun-drawio-aws-vpc
by choisungwookdraw.io Desktop CLI로 AWS VPC 기초 다이어그램을 `.drawio` XML로 만들고 PNG/SVG/PDF로 export한다. draw server나 MCP server를 사용하지 않고, macOS의 draw.io Desktop CLI와 AWS icon pack(mxgraph.aws4)을 사용한다. 이 skill은 VPC, Availability Zone, public/private/application/db subnet, Internet Gateway, NAT Gateway만 그린다. ALB/NLB, workload, VPC Endpoint, Route 53, Direct Connect, on-premises network, managed service는 다른 skill의 책임이다. Trigger on: "draw.io AWS VPC", "drawio aws vpc", "AWS VPC 기초 그려줘", "AWS VPC subnet 그려줘", "VPC subnet diagram", "public subnet private subnet", "AZ dashed container", "IGW NAT Gateway".

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.
