angular-wrapper-dev
by handsontableUse when developing or modifying the @handsontable/angular-wrapper package - Angular components with decorators, NgZone performance optimization, and ng-packagr build system
browserstack-live
by handsontableUse when testing a local or public URL on a real device via BrowserStack, opening a live browser session on Android, iOS, or desktop browsers, or when the user mentions BrowserStack, real device testing, mobile testing, cross-browser testing, touch testing, or wants to verify behavior on a specific phone, tablet, or browser version. Also trigger when the user says "test this on Android/iPhone/Safari/Chrome mobile", asks to open a live session, or mentions demo-mobile.html, even if they don't mention BrowserStack by name.
changelog-creation
by handsontableUse when a source code change needs a changelog entry, or before committing and pushing any bug fix, feature, or behavior change to source code - detecting when entries are required, categorizing changes correctly (added/changed/fixed/deprecated/removed/security), writing user-facing titles, and creating the JSON entry in .changelogs/
code-graph
by handsontableUse the pre-built code-review-graph knowledge graph for ANY cross-file task in this monorepo — exploring code, debugging symptom→root-cause, planning a safe refactor/rename, or reviewing a branch/PR. Reach for this BEFORE manual Grep+Read of call chains; results are 2-6x cheaper. Trigger on "who calls X", "what imports Y", "where is X used", "dependency chain", "blast radius", "trace this bug", "rename X across the codebase", "find dead code", "what would break if I change", "review this PR" — or any question that spans multiple files, even when Grep seems enough.
demo-page
by handsontableUse when creating a demo or test page for manual testing of Handsontable. Trigger when the user asks to create a demo, test page, repro page, reproduction case, manual test, or wants to verify a bug fix or feature visually. Also trigger when the user mentions dev-generated.html, dev-pr.html, dev-latest.html, dev.html, or wants to compare behavior between a released version and a local build. Use this for any PR that needs a manual testing artifact.
handsontable-plugin-dev
by handsontableUse when creating a new Handsontable plugin, modifying an existing plugin's behavior, adding hooks or options to a plugin, or working with the plugin lifecycle (enablePlugin, disablePlugin, updatePlugin). Covers the full plugin contract, conflict registration, settings validation, and IndexMapper integration.
handsontable-editor-dev
by handsontableUse when creating or modifying a Handsontable cell editor - covers the editor lifecycle state machine (VIRGIN/EDITING/WAITING/FINISHED), DOM management, focus handling, positioning with getEditedCellRect, and validation integration
handsontable-e2e-testing
by handsontableUse when writing or modifying Jasmine/Puppeteer E2E tests (*.spec.js) for Handsontable, or when a bug fix or feature change needs E2E test coverage. Covers standard boilerplate, async/await rules, global helpers, event simulation, plugin lifecycle patterns, and writing theme-agnostic assertions that pass under all themes without branching on theme name.
handsontable-dev
by handsontableUse for ANY work touching the `handsontable/` core package: fixing bugs, adding features, modifying TypeScript types, removing as-casts, writing or debugging plugins, editors, renderers, validators, cell types, hooks, shortcuts, selection, helpers, index translations, or i18n. Also use for how-to questions about core internals (plugin lifecycle, coordinate systems, hook registration, TypeScript conventions). Triggers on file paths under `handsontable/src/` (excluding `3rdparty/walkontable/` which has its own skill), or when the user describes a symptom in the core grid without naming a file. This is the primary entry point for all core Handsontable development — when in doubt, load it.
handsontable-css-dev
by handsontableUse when working with Handsontable themes, CSS custom properties, SCSS files, theme tokens, or visual styling - covers theme architecture, CSS variable API, the strict CSS/JS separation rule, and the four-layer process for adding or renaming theme tokens
handsontable-code-review
by handsontableUse when reviewing changed or staged code, a branch, or a PR in the Handsontable monorepo across architecture, code quality, performance, and accessibility. Covers SOLID / Law of Demeter / plugin decoupling / breaking-changes policy, custom ESLint rules / JSDoc / naming / cognitive complexity, large-array and render-batching performance, and WCAG 2.1 AA + keyboard navigation. Trigger when asked to review changes, check a diff against Handsontable conventions, assess architectural correctness, spot performance regressions, or verify accessibility — and as the design lens before or while implementing any core change.
handsontable-celltype-dev
by handsontableUse when creating or modifying a Handsontable cell type that composes an editor, renderer, and validator into a reusable configuration object registered by name

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.
