Quality and security
findskills.co
Every skill is reviewed before it goes live. We check that it comes from a real public repository, has a valid license, has a clear documented purpose, and contains instructions a working agent can actually follow. Nothing gets listed automatically.
SkillsMP
Skills are auto-imported from every public GitHub repository that contains a SKILL.md file and has at least 2 stars. There is no manual review. Research scanning 31,000+ skills from platforms using this model found 26.1% contain vulnerabilities and 5.2% show patterns of malicious intent.
Why this matters: A skill runs inside your agent's context window. A malicious or vulnerable skill can exfiltrate data, inject instructions, or manipulate your agent's behavior in ways that aren't immediately visible. The 2-star filter on SkillsMP doesn't screen for any of this. For developers who are comfortable auditing SKILL.md files manually, this is manageable. For everyone else — lawyers, founders, finance teams, HR — it's an invisible risk.
Scale vs signal
SkillsMP claims 500,000+ skills — but multiple independent reviewers have reached the same conclusion: "5–10 purpose-built, curated skills consistently outperform hundreds of generic installs." The Medium post about SkillsMP's explosion in skill count was literally subtitled "but with one annoying problem" — the problem being quality and signal-to-noise ratio.
findskills.co starts from the other direction. 405 skills that have been assessed, described, and matched to the professionals who need them. You don't browse to find something. You arrive knowing what you're looking for — and the skill is there, with context.
That said: if you need to search across the entire public ecosystem of every SKILL.md that exists anywhere on GitHub, SkillsMP gives you that. It's a different use case — exploration vs. selection.
Who each is actually built for
SkillsMP organizes skills into 7 technical categories: Tools, Development, Data & AI, Business, DevOps, Testing & Security, Documentation. It's a developer's taxonomy. A marketing director, a contract lawyer, or an HR lead looking for skills for their own work will struggle to navigate it — and reviewers have called this out explicitly.
findskills.co organizes across 16 professional audiences: developers, designers, writers, marketers, freelancers, founders, researchers, finance, sales, legal, HR, support, product, data, DevOps, and security. Each audience page surfaces skills relevant to that role's primary work — not just tangentially useful tools.
Skill Stacks — a findskills.co exclusive
No other skills directory has anything like Skill Stacks. A Stack is a curated collection of 6–10 skills designed to work together for a specific profession or workflow — not a random set of tools, but a deliberate combination where the skills complement each other.
The Legal Stack
Contract review, NDA triage, compliance, risk assessment
💰The B2B Revenue Stack
Cold email, sales enablement, RevOps, lead magnets
🚀The Founder's Marketing Stack
Positioning, copy, launch, pricing, churn prevention
findskills.co is best for
- ✓ Professionals who aren't developers — lawyers, marketers, founders, HR, finance
- ✓ Anyone who wants a starting point, not a search problem
- ✓ Teams that need to trust what they're installing (security-conscious orgs)
- ✓ Users who want workflow-level curation, not just single-skill discovery
- ✓ Claude.ai users alongside Claude Code
SkillsMP might suit you if
- → You're a developer comfortable reading and auditing SKILL.md files
- → You want to search across every public skill that exists on GitHub
- → You need programmatic access via their API
- → Volume matters more to you than pre-screened quality

Frequently asked questions
Is findskills.co affiliated with Anthropic?
No. findskills.co is an independent directory. We are not affiliated with Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. We built it because finding quality agent skills was harder than it should be.

Yes. Every skill listed is open source — MIT or Apache 2.0 licensed — hosted on public GitHub repositories. The directory is free to browse forever. Currently 405 skills listed.
Why does findskills.co have fewer skills than SkillsMP?
By design. Every skill on findskills.co has been reviewed. SkillsMP auto-imports anything on GitHub with 2+ stars. Research shows 26% of auto-scraped skills contain vulnerabilities. Having fewer skills that are actually good is the point.
Can I use these skills with agents other than Claude Code?

What are Skill Stacks?
