Hi HN,

I'm the creator of Agent Skills.

I've been using Claude Code heavily recently for my daily dev work. While the ecosystem for "Agent Skills" is growing fast, it feels very fragmented right now. I found myself constantly digging through random GitHub repos or Twitter threads to find compatible tools.

So I built this registry to solve that discovery problem.

What it does: Aggregates skills from verified sources (community & official). Parses the underlying repos to show you the code structure involved. Generates the exact install command (CLI) you need to add the skill to your agent configuration. Tech Stack: Built with Next.js 14 (App Router) and Sanity for the content lake. It uses some custom scripts to crawl and validate the SKILL.md / repo metadata from GitHub. I'd love to hear your feedback—especially on what other metadata you'd like to see before installing a skill into your agent's environment?

Thanks!

This is a useful collection. As someone building local agents, I find the biggest bottleneck isn't 'discovering' skills, but defining the permission boundaries for them. Does this directory categorize skills by their 'safety level' (e.g., read-only vs. write-access)?

This is such a great point. Security does become the bottleneck once you move past simple queries. We haven't implemented safety categorization yet, but I'd love to explore it. Ideally, would you prefer to see flags like 'Filesystem: Read-Only' or 'Network: Blocked' directly on the skill card? Thanks for the feedback!

I also got frustrated by that & started an open source project - https://skillgaurd.up.railway.app/
