Here's the `skills` package on NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/skills - it's MIT licensed but I can't find it on Github.
`skills` looks to be a wrapper around `add-skill`: https://github.com/vercel-labs/add-skill
From the docs, `add-skill` auto detects from 16 different potential paths to copy skills to in a repository (.claude/, .codex/, .Gemini/, etc).
`add-skill` also let's you install skills globally (~/). From the code, `skills` looks like it doesn't support global installs but under the hood it passes all args to add-skill, so you should be able to install skills globally or install multiple skills (even if the wrapper doesn't expect it).
Aside: although lots of agents have adopted SKILLS.md conventions, they're currently all using their own paths. There doesn't seem to be a consensus yet, like there is with AGENTS.md. There are even 3 generic paths: .agent/skills/, .agents/skills/ and just skills/
I think this really has a future. Skills are going to be the way forward for portable ai tools. I think the skills standard needs to adapt to allow forward slashes so we can name things @vercel/somecategory/sometool. I've already brought it up in the agentskills GitHub.

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.
I love vercel, but I think the 'collect a bunch of random skills' approach just isn't it. You need versioning, linking between skills, an easy install client...basically a full package manager, which this is not.
If any of that is interesting, check out noriskillsets.dev. Would love to get feedback!
Anyways, great work on this btw, the agent-agnostic approach is the right call
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.
Nice.
The page should properly advertize that this is a corporate built/sponsored site so people can understand that it's totally biased.
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?
