When users ask "how do I do X" or "can you help with Y," this skill searches the open agent skills ecosystem instead of making you reinvent the wheel. It checks skills.sh for existing solutions, runs CLI searches with specific keywords, and verifies quality by checking install counts and source reputation before recommending anything. The skill prioritizes battle-tested options from sources like vercel-labs and anthropics over unknown packages with low install counts. It's essentially a package manager interface that prevents you from manually coding solutions that already exist as installable skills.

agent-browser

A comprehensive browser automation CLI that handles the full spectrum of web interaction tasks through Chrome DevTools Protocol. What impressed me most is the thoughtful authentication handling with six different approaches, from importing existing browser sessions to encrypted credential vaults. The element reference system (@e1, @e2) makes DOM interaction reliable across page changes, and command chaining keeps workflows efficient. The network inspection and download management features push it beyond basic scraping into serious testing territory. If you're doing any programmatic web work beyond simple HTTP requests, this covers the gap between lightweight scraping libraries and heavyweight testing frameworks like Selenium.

This automates shadcn/ui component management with opinionated guardrails that actually matter. It enforces critical patterns like using FieldGroup for forms instead of raw divs, proper data-invalid validation states, and semantic color tokens over hardcoded values. The skill prevents common mistakes like manual space-y classes (uses gap instead) and missing accessibility requirements like DialogTitle. It handles CLI operations, searches component registries, and provides project context from components.json. Best for teams who want shadcn/ui consistency without memorizing every composition rule and styling convention.

ai-elements

vercel/ai-elements

Builds AI chat interfaces using the ai-elements component library, which is basically shadcn/ui components specifically designed for AI apps. It'll help you install components like conversations, messages, and tool displays through their CLI, then show you how to wire them up with the AI SDK's useChat hook. The components get added to your codebase (not hidden in node_modules) so you can customize them directly. Most useful when you're building any kind of chatbot or AI assistant interface and want to skip the tedious UI work. The setup assumes you already have Next.js, shadcn/ui, and the AI SDK installed.

This is your Swiss Army knife for PDF operations. It covers the essential Python libraries (pypdf, pdfplumber, reportlab) plus command-line tools like qpdf for merging, splitting, text extraction, and table parsing. The OCR integration with pytesseract handles scanned documents, and it includes form filling guidance. What I appreciate is the practical focus on real workflows rather than just API documentation. The quick reference table saves time when you need to pick the right tool for each task. It won't replace specialized PDF tools for complex layouts, but it handles 90% of typical automation needs.

browser-use

browser-use/browser-use

66.5k

This automates browser interactions through a persistent daemon that keeps Chrome running between commands, giving you ~50ms response times instead of the usual multi-second browser startup. You get element indices from `browser-use state`, then click, type, or extract data using those indices. It handles the annoying parts well: connects to your existing Chrome profile to preserve logins, runs headless by default, includes cloud browser fallback for zero-config setups. The command chaining works reliably since the browser stays alive. Genuinely useful for web scraping, form automation, or any task where you need to interact with actual web pages rather than just fetch HTML.

When your design looks like every other Bootstrap template, this skill pushes it toward something memorable. It systematically amplifies typography scale, color saturation, spatial drama, and visual effects while maintaining usability. The skill specifically calls out AI design clichés (purple gradients, glassmorphism, neon accents) and pushes you toward distinctive choices instead. It runs through typography replacement, extreme scale jumps, asymmetric layouts, and entrance choreography. Use it when stakeholders say the design feels generic, safe, or lacks personality. The verification checks ensure you're creating intentional drama, not just adding random effects.

next-best-practices

Comprehensive Next.js linting that catches the stuff your regular ESLint misses. Detects async client components, non-serializable props across RSC boundaries, and improper Server Action usage. Flags Next.js 15+ async API violations like treating params as synchronous. Enforces image optimization with next/image, proper metadata generation, and correct file conventions for app router. Also checks for hydration gotchas like browser API calls during SSR and missing Suspense boundaries around useSearchParams. Essential if you're working with app router complexity or migrating between Next.js versions where the rules keep changing.

The `skills` CLI is the package manager for Agent Skills, letting you discover, install, and manage capabilities from the open ecosystem. It handles the full workflow from searching skills.sh to installing with the right flags for your specific agent setup. Quality checks show install counts and source reputation before you commit. The syntax is clean: `bunx skills add <source> --skill <name>` for installation, `bunx skills ls` to see what's installed, and `bunx skills update` for maintenance. When you need specialized workflows like PR review, testing, or deployment that someone else has already packaged, this saves you from rebuilding common patterns.

This connects Claude directly to Sleek's AI-powered mobile app design platform through their REST API. You can create projects, describe screens in plain language, and get back rendered UI components with actual HTML/CSS code. It handles the full workflow from "design a login screen" to polling the async generation process and fetching the final component code. Requires a Pro plan API key with appropriate scopes. Good for rapid prototyping when you want actual mobile UI mockups instead of just descriptions or wireframes.

audit-website

squirrelscan/skills

45k

A comprehensive website auditing skill that runs 230+ checks across SEO, performance, security, and accessibility using the squirrelscan CLI. It crawls your site, analyzes everything from broken links to meta tags to schema markup, then generates LLM-optimized reports with actionable fixes and health scores. The tool handles both surface scans for quick overviews and deep dives for thorough analysis. What makes this genuinely useful is the iteration workflow: audit, fix issues in parallel batches, re-audit, repeat until you hit your target score. Perfect for debugging technical SEO problems or doing comprehensive site health checks before launches.

This is test-driven development applied to writing documentation. Instead of testing code, you're testing whether agents actually follow your instructions. You write pressure scenarios with subagents, watch them fail without your skill present, then write the skill document to address those specific failure modes. The approach catches the gap between what you think you communicated and what agents actually understood. It includes solid guidance on skill structure, Claude search optimization, and when skills are worth creating versus just putting notes in project files. The TDD mapping table alone makes the mental model click.

The better-auth-best-practices skill guides developers through configuring Better Auth, a TypeScript authentication library, including server and client setup, database adapter configuration, session management, and plugin integration. It's designed for developers building authentication systems with email/password or OAuth flows who need step-by-step setup instructions and configuration reference. The skill solves the problem of implementing secure, production-ready authentication by providing installation procedures, environment variable requirements, CLI commands, and core configuration options in one centralized guide.

paywall-upgrade-cro

This one focuses specifically on in-app upgrade prompts and paywalls, not your public pricing page. It walks through timing triggers like feature gates and usage limits, then helps you structure the actual upgrade screens with proper value demonstration and escape hatches. The skill distinguishes between different paywall types (feature locks vs trial expiration vs usage limits) and gives you specific copy frameworks for each. It's particularly good at identifying anti-patterns like showing upgrade prompts too early or trapping users. If you're struggling with freemium conversion or your upgrade flows feel pushy, this breaks down the psychology of when and how to ask for money without burning trust.

design-md

If you're working with Google Stitch and need to maintain design consistency across screens, this analyzes your existing Stitch projects and generates a DESIGN.md file that captures your visual language in natural, descriptive terms. It pulls screen metadata, downloads HTML/CSS assets, and translates technical Tailwind classes into designer-friendly descriptions like "Ocean-deep Cerulean (#0077B6)" instead of just hex codes. The real value is creating a semantic design system that you can reference when prompting Stitch to generate new screens that actually match your existing aesthetic. Saves you from the usual problem of new AI-generated screens that look completely different from what you already built.

firecrawl

This is autonomous web scraping that actually works for complex data extraction tasks. Instead of writing brittle scrapers that break when sites change, you describe what data you want and it figures out how to navigate multi-page sites and extract it as structured JSON. Perfect for pulling product catalogs, pricing tables, or directory listings where the data spans multiple pages or requires following pagination. Takes 2-5 minutes to run and burns through credits faster than simple scraping, but saves hours of manual extraction work. Use the schema option if you need predictable output format.

This gets deep into TypeScript's type system machinery with practical patterns for building bulletproof APIs and components. You'll learn conditional types for runtime-dependent logic, mapped types for transforming interfaces, and template literals for string-based type safety. The examples show real implementations like type-safe event emitters and API clients that catch parameter mismatches at compile time. It's dense material that assumes you know basic TypeScript, but if you're building libraries or want to eliminate entire classes of runtime errors, the type gymnastics here will save you debugging time and make your code practically bulletproof.
