What are skills?

Skills are reusable capabilities for AI agents. They provide procedural knowledge that helps agents accomplish specific tasks more effectively. Think of them as plugins or extensions that enhance what your AI agent can do.

Getting started

To install a skill, use the skills CLI:

npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills

This will install the skill and make it available to your AI agent.

How skills are ranked

The skills leaderboard ranks skills based on anonymous telemetry data collected from the skills CLI. When users install skills, aggregated usage data helps surface the most popular and useful skills in the ecosystem.

This telemetry is completely anonymous and only tracks which skills are being installed—no personal information or usage patterns are collected.
