How are these agent skills chosen?
Skills come from skills.sh, the GitHub topics claude-skills, agent-skills, claude-code-skills and skills, and the major awesome lists. A skill is listed only if its SKILL.md has a valid name and a description of 80+ characters, it has a license (the repository's or its own), the repository has a commit in the last six months, and the repository has 100+ stars or the skill is listed on skills.sh. This first batch is curated for developers (coding, testing, DevOps, data, security, frontend and technical docs) and capped at about 1,000 skills, at most 25 per repository; more categories are coming.
