AI agents and automation

agentic-awesome-skills

by sickn33

A library of over 2,800 reusable instruction files (SKILL.md playbooks) for AI coding agents, plus a local tool that lets agents such as Codex or Claude search the catalogue and record which skills they choose. It is for building a reviewable, repeatable set of skills for a project before anything is installed.

What you can do with it

  • Let an AI agent search a large local catalogue of skills and save its chosen set as a manifest file
  • Validate a chosen skill set and preview an installation plan before changing anything
  • Install selected skills directly into the skill folder of tools such as Claude Code, Codex or Gemini CLI

Make money with it

A freelance developer could use curated skill sets to deliver AI-assisted coding work faster, or offer to set up agent workflows for clients.

An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.

Ways a business could use it

  • Give a small development team a shared, reviewable set of agent skills so AI coding output is more consistent across projects
  • Cut time spent writing prompts and instructions from scratch by reusing ready-made playbooks for common tasks such as debugging

Can you use it commercially?

Free to use, change and sell, including in paid products. Keep the copyright notice.

Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.

Getting it running

It is run through npm (npm exec with the agentic-awesome-skills package), and the local MCP is configured by editing the Codex or Claude config with a command-line tool.

Follow the official instructions in the project README.

Things to check

  • Apply and recovery features are experimental
  • Validation checks structure only, not whether a skill is safe or suitable, so skills should be reviewed before use
  • Skills are community-contributed, so quality and safety vary
  • Needs an AI coding agent, which may require a paid subscription or API access
