Stars measure attention, not upkeep: the list with the most stars here hadn't changed in eight weeks, and travisvn's, with 15,807 stars, hasn't been pushed since April. The awesome-claude-code repository also holds the top Google result for "agent skills marketplace" on November 13: a closed issue proposing "a marketplace for the skills in your collection".
Skill collections, which you install from directly
Lists point to skills; these repositories are the skills. They're what most lists and marketplaces link to.
| Repository | Stars | What's in it |
|---|---|---|
| mattpocock/skills | 323,792 | Matt Pocock's engineering skills (grill-me, tdd, triage and more), MIT; the most-installed set on skills.sh |
| obra/superpowers | 317,220 | A skills framework and development method, MIT; listed as Anthropic verified on claude.com/marketplace |
| anthropics/skills | 194,119 | Anthropic's example and document skills, plus the Agent Skills spec and a template |
| sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills | 49,668 | "2,955+ reusable AI agent skills for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Gemini CLI", with its own CLI; despite the name, a collection rather than a list |
| vercel-labs/agent-skills | 34,019 | Vercel's skills, such as React best practices and web design guidelines |
| openai/skills | 28,726 | Deprecated: OpenAI now points to openai/plugins for Codex skills |
A list or a marketplace?
| Awesome list | Marketplace | |
|---|---|---|
| Who picks | A maintainer, through pull requests | Anyone who publishes, ranked by installs, stars or reviews |
| Size | Hundreds to low thousands | Thousands (Anthropic's 530 plugins) to millions (SkillsMP's index) |
| Install | Follow the link, then use a CLI or copy | Built in: npx skills add, /plugin install, openclaw skills install |
| Security | None beyond the maintainer's judgment | Varies: none (SkillsMP) to scans on every version (ClawHub, Agensi) |
| Best for | Finding a few good skills in a field | Installing, updating and pinning |
Most people do both: browse a list or two, then install with a tool that pins versions. The marketplaces are compared on the home page, and the two biggest indexes head to head in SkillsMP vs skills.sh.
How to judge a list in a minute
- Last push within a month or two. Skills change quickly; Anthropic, OpenAI and Cursor all changed their skill folders or catalogs in 2026.
- Entries link to source repos, not to a third-party download.
- Contribution rules. A list that says how it picks (VoltAgent's "real-world Agent Skills created and used by actual engineering teams") is easier to trust than one that takes everything.
- Who publishes it. A vendor's list can be good, but it will feature the vendor.
A list tells you what other people like. To see what your own team's sessions load, Zest, from the company that publishes this site, counts the skills each engineer's coding-agent sessions use; it's free for 3 seats and isn't a list or a marketplace. Zest for skills
Questions
What is awesome-agent-skills?
Usually VoltAgent/awesome-agent-skills, a GitHub list of more than 1,000 agent skills from official dev teams and the community, with the folder each agent reads them from. Several other repositories share the name; the most active on November 13, 2026 was VoltAgent's.
Where are Claude skills on GitHub?
Anthropic's own are in anthropics/skills. Popular community collections include mattpocock/skills and obra/superpowers, and lists such as ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills and hesreallyhim/awesome-claude-code point to many more.
Is a list better than a marketplace?
A list is picked by people and usually small; a marketplace is large and adds installing, ranking and, sometimes, scanning. Lists are a good way to find skills worth trying, then install them with the skills CLI or the agent's own marketplace.
Are skills on awesome lists safe?
Being on a list means a maintainer liked a skill, not that anyone audited it. Read the SKILL.md and scripts before installing, as with any source.
