Best SkillsMP Alternatives
SkillsMP claims 500,000+ skills scraped from GitHub — but research shows 26% contain vulnerabilities and reviewers consistently call out the signal-to-noise problem. Here are the real alternatives, evaluated honestly.
Why people look for SkillsMP alternatives
- → Quality concerns. 26.1% of auto-scraped skills contain at least one vulnerability (arXiv:2601.10338). The 2-star GitHub filter doesn't screen for security issues.
- → Signal-to-noise ratio. Finding a useful skill in 500,000+ entries requires significant effort. Multiple reviewers note that 5–10 curated skills outperform hundreds of generic ones.
- → Not built for non-developers. SkillsMP uses technical categories (DevOps, Testing, Data & AI) with no audience filtering for lawyers, marketers, founders, or HR professionals.
- → No workflow guidance. SkillsMP lists skills individually with no curation of which skills work together or which combination fits a specific job.
What to look for in an alternative
Source verification
Does someone review skills before listing? Auto-scraping without review is how you get malware in your agent.
Audience filtering
Can you filter by your profession — not just by technical category? Developers aren't the only people using Claude.
Editorial context
Does each skill explain when to use it, who it's for, and what it actually does? A skill title isn't enough.
Workflow curation
Are there collections that tell you which skills work together for a specific job or workflow?
The 5 best SkillsMP alternatives
findskills.co
RecommendedHand-curated, source-verified Agent Skills directory

SkillHub
AI-evaluated Claude Skills marketplace
SkillHub lists 7,000+ skills and claims to use AI evaluation to score quality. More curated than SkillsMP but less so than findskills.co. Primarily developer-focused with limited audience filtering.

skills.sh
CLI-first Agent Skills registry
skills.sh is the registry behind the `npx skills add` install command. Primarily a package management layer rather than a browseable directory — think npm for skills. You can browse it on the web but the UX is minimal.

awesome-claude-skills (GitHub)
Community-maintained GitHub list of curated Claude Skills
A curated GitHub README listing 50+ Claude skills organized by category. No install UX, no audience filtering, no editorial descriptions — just links. The traditional "awesome list" format. Good for a quick scan but requires manual installation.

SkillsMP
Auto-scraping GitHub skills marketplace
SkillsMP claims 500,000+ skills by auto-harvesting every GitHub repo with a SKILL.md file and at least 2 stars. Research scanning 31,000+ skills from platforms using this model found 26.1% contain vulnerabilities. Powerful semantic search and an API, but no editorial layer and not beginner-friendly.
