# SkillsLLM

> AI Skills Marketplace — discover and explore 1,600+ open-source AI agent skills for Claude Code, Codex CLI, ChatGPT, and other AI assistants. Every skill is security-scanned (dependency audit + prompt-injection heuristics on SKILL.md/CLAUDE.md) and categorized.

## What is SkillsLLM

SkillsLLM is a curated, security-vetted directory of open-source AI skills hosted on GitHub. A "skill" is a repository containing a `SKILL.md` file (Anthropic's emerging standard for modular AI capabilities) or related instruction packages — agents, MCP servers, CLI tools, IDE extensions, and code-generation helpers. Each listing pulls metadata from GitHub, runs static security analysis, and surfaces community votes and bookmarks.

## Key facts

- 1,600+ skills indexed, 100-star minimum quality bar
- 10 categories: AI Agents, MCP Servers, Code Generation, CLI Tools, IDE Extensions, DevOps, Documentation, Testing, Data Processing, API Integration
- Automated security scanning on every skill (npm audit + pip-audit + prompt-injection heuristics)
- Daily GitHub scraper updates
- Free, no signup required to browse
- Open to community submissions via GitHub OAuth

## What makes SkillsLLM different

- **Security scanning** — unique vs other directories. Every skill ships with a security report (PASS / WARNING / FAIL) and a daily re-scan workflow.
- **SKILL.md-first** — aligned with Anthropic's emerging standard for AI capability packaging.
- **Quality filter** — 100-star minimum keeps the long tail of low-effort repos out of search results.
- **Self-hosted, independent** — not tied to any AI vendor.
