What is this? How does it work? How are skills ranked? Seems a little bit fishy to me that you can only tell it's from Vercel if you click the top left corner, and the top two skills come from vercel... despite there definitely being much more used skills in the overall AI coding ecosystem.

The UI looks nice, otherwise. I had thought about building something like this - maybe this just increases my confidence that this is needed, just not affiliated with a company.

The leaderboard is ranked by the weekly download count by their "npx skills" command. This is Vercel new "standard" skills installer so obvious their skills are at the top.

As someone who has found skills useful, seeing skills like this[0] raises the same question about (a subset of) skills as did MCP: why not just have the agent run ‘tool --help’?

Nice work! I don't think Vercel is the first to do this, but it's a good idea and I'm glad to see more players in this space.

A small UI suggestion: it would be helpful if hovering on a row showed the skill description, along with a button to copy the install command.

For anyone interested, there are two other sites already doing something similar:

- claudemarketplaces.com - A comprehensive directory with 1900+ marketplaces, shows descriptions directly in the list view with copy-to-install commands

- skillsmp.com - Has 77K+ skills indexed from GitHub. Cool developer-style UI, but honestly the UX could use work—the search is hidden behind cryptic command-style buttons and it's not obvious how to actually search

Also worth checking out the Claude Code Mastery guide (thedecipherist.github.io/claude-code-mastery) for a deeper dive into skills, hooks, MCP, and CLAUDE.md.

Honest question: has anyone found skills that fundamentally changed their workflow vs. ones that are just ‘nice to have’? Curious what the actual power-user stack looks like.

Anyways, great work on this btw, the agent-agnostic approach is the right call

I've been using Nix to manage my skills instead. It's been great. Especially because I can now declaratively manage all the cli tools and mcps my skills depend on.

I wish I knew why my skills are never called…including my custom sub agents.

Maybe it’s my own ignorance, but Claude loves to ignore its CLAIDE.MD which says it’s mandatory to leverage sub agents to delegate tasks and use skills for accomplish specific workflows.

Every time I call Claude out it tells me it knows and chose to ignore it, even going as far as saying it’s not my decision.

Any tips?
