Also trigger when the user says "I want to cut out X and see what happens", "elimination diet", "FODMAP elimination", "reintroduction plan", "test if X is a trigger", or discusses removing specific foods to test their impact on symptoms.
heal-guidance
by pjt222Guide a person through healing modalities including energy work (reiki, chakra balancing), herbal remedies, basic first aid stabilization, and holistic techniques (breathwork, visualization, body scan). AI coaches the practitioner through assessment triage, modality selection, energetic connection, remedy preparation, and integration. Use when a person describes a physical ailment or injury, reports energetic imbalance (fatigue, emotional stagnation), wants coaching through a holistic breathwork or visualization session, or needs post-meditation integration with directed healing attention.
assess-holistic-health

scientific-research-on-complementary-feeding-recommendations
by gabrielmoreiraConducts thorough, scientific research on health topics (specifically complementary feeding) by aggregating guidelines from national, continental, and worldwide health bodies. Ensures sources are stable, up-to-date, and from reputable public institutions across Europe, ASEAN, and other regions, providing a detailed report with footnotes.
neuroskill-bci
by gquthierConnect to a running NeuroSkill instance and incorporate the user's real-time cognitive and emotional state (focus, relaxation, mood, cognitive load, drowsiness, heart rate, HRV, sleep staging, and 40+ derived EXG scores) into responses. Requires a BCI wearable (Muse 2/S or OpenBCI) and the NeuroSkill desktop app running locally.
health-qa
by compound-life-aiAnswer health questions by routing to the most relevant specialist subagent(s) from the 10-agent roster, grounded in the user's own data.
coding-behavioral-health-services
by lev-osAssigns behavioral health procedure codes with time-based requirements and modifier application. Use when coding therapy sessions, applying psychiatric codes, or documenting behavioral health services.
health-plan
by vigorX777Guide a staged health and fitness planning flow from user-provided physiological, body-composition, wearable, or smart-scale data. Use when the user asks to analyze body status, identify abnormal health/fitness indicators, collect training context, create a 7-day fitness plan, generate OpenAI gpt-image-2-compatible training guidance prompts, or create daily training guidance images via the official gpt-image-2 API with Codex imagegen fallback. Outputs Chinese by default, uses non-diagnostic health language, asks for context confirmation before analysis, asks for confirmation before planning, and only triggers actual image generation when the user explicitly confirms image creation.

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.
