browser-test
by langwatchValidate a feature works by driving a real browser with Playwright MCP. No test files — just interactive verification.
browser-pair
by langwatchCollaborative headed browser session for UI work. Launch Playwright Chromium visible to the user, handle auth, then interactively drive the browser while the user watches and gives real-time visual feedback. Edit code and refresh to verify fixes live. Use when the user says 'browser pair', 'paired browser', 'let's look at this together', 'open chromium', or wants to iterate on UI with live visual feedback.
feature-map
by langwatchMaintain the canonical LangWatch feature map (/feature-map.json). Use when adding features, APIs, MCP tools, CLI commands, or skills — to update the central registry and keep surfaces in sync.
langwatch-kanban
by langwatchManage the LangWatch Kanban GitHub project board — sync statuses, view your board, find stale items, move issues, assign work.
code-review
by langwatchProject-level code review: check changed files against LangWatch codebase rules (IDs, multitenancy, layering, naming, SRP).
kanban-code
by langwatchInspect cards, orchestrate Claude sessions, and chat with other agents over Kanban Code's channels. Use whenever the user mentions Kanban Code, asks you to coordinate with another running Claude, or is working inside a card's tmux session and wants to use the `kanban` CLI. Covers channels (Slack-like rooms), DMs, handles, and history.
analytics
by langwatchAnalyze your AI agent's performance using LangWatch analytics. Use when the user wants to understand costs, latency, error rates, usage trends, or debug specific traces. Works with any LangWatch-instrumented agent.
datasets
by langwatchGenerate realistic synthetic evaluation datasets by analyzing the user's codebase, prompts, production traces, and reference materials. Interactive, consultant-style — asks clarifying questions, proposes a plan, generates a preview for approval, then delivers a complete dataset uploaded to LangWatch. Use when user asks to generate, create, or build a dataset for evaluation, testing, or benchmarking.
evaluations
by langwatchSet up comprehensive evaluations for your AI agent with LangWatch — experiments (batch testing), evaluators (scoring functions), datasets, online evaluation (production monitoring), and guardrails (real-time blocking). Supports both code (SDK) and platform (CLI) approaches. Use when the user wants to evaluate, test, benchmark, monitor, or safeguard their agent.
level-up
by langwatchTake your AI agent to the next level with full LangWatch integration. Adds tracing, prompt versioning, evaluation experiments, and simulation tests in one go. Use when the user wants comprehensive observability, testing, and prompt management for their agent.
prompts
by langwatchVersion and manage your agent's prompts with LangWatch Prompts CLI. Use for both onboarding (set up prompt versioning for an entire codebase) and targeted operations (version a specific prompt, create a new prompt version). Supports Python and TypeScript.
debug-instrumentation
by langwatchDebug and improve your LangWatch traces. Inspects production traces for missing input/output, disconnected spans, unlabeled traces, and missing metadata. Use when traces look broken or incomplete.

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. Join our community of developers to standardize your AI agent instructions and optimize your LLM prompting workflows today.
