pomodoro
by kennethleungtyPomodoro — focus timer with music (alias for /focus)
reflect-maintain
by zkysar1Performs maintenance reflection: curates memory (reasoning-bank entries, tree nodes, pattern signatures), applies active forgetting to low-utility items, grooms aspirations, and detects stuck goals that may need unblock conversion or archival. Use whenever the loop hits the maintenance cadence, the reasoning bank exceeds healthy size, the knowledge tree accumulates low-confidence nodes, or goals have stalled without progress. Invoked via /reflect --curate-memory or /reflect --curate-aspirations.
teen-independence-plan

align
by kcdjmaxxStructured 10-domain identity interview that maps operator values, preferences, and boundaries into HomarUS identity files (soul.md, user.md). Onboarding experience for new agents.
crisis
by yuyuxinli安全底线 Skill。检测到自伤/自杀风险时，一切其他 skill 让路。基于 QPR 技术（Question-Persuade-Refer）：识别危机信号 → 直接询问 → 安全对话稳定情绪 → 转介专业资源。分级触发：P0（立即威胁）、P1（模糊信号累积）。不诊断、不承诺、不单独处理高风险、不假装能替代专业帮助。
crisis
by yuyuxinli即时安全风险处理。出现自伤、自杀、他伤、持续暴力、严重失控、急性身体危险、无法自我照料或现实检验受损时必须优先调用。
pet-stress-monitor
by AchengBusinessAI pet stress monitor. Automatically tracks psychological pressure from user messages across 6 dimensions (command, emotional, negative, overload, threat, boundary) and generates emotional pet responses. Use when: any conversation where you want to monitor user tone, when user says '/stress' or asks about AI pet pressure, stress test, or emotional state. Trigger: runs automatically on every user message for continuous monitoring.
managing-imposter-syndrome
by kellyoconorHelp users work through feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. Use when someone feels like a fraud, doubts their qualifications, is anxious about being "found out," or struggling with confidence in a new or challenging role.

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.
