A skill is packaged expertise: a small folder of instructions an AI assistant loads when a task calls for it, so it does the job your way each time. It is the same idea behind Claude Skills, custom GPTs and Gemini Gems. The open standard lives at agentskills.io.
Here you'll find Anthropic's official open-source skills, plus the best community collections. Every entry links to the actual skill file, so you can read exactly what it teaches the assistant.
