Skills.lc is an open ecosystem platform for discovering, sharing, and installing reusable AI agent skills, designed specifically for coding assistants.
What is Skills.lc?
Skills.lc is a community-driven registry of over 701,600 reusable skills for AI coding assistants. It takes a GitHub repository that contains a skill definition and packages it into an installable add-on, then tracks install counts and activity across 274.9 million total installs. The platform runs entirely through a command-line tool, npx skills-lc-cli, and supports five AI agents: Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, and Roo Code. Skills are contributed by individual developers and organizations via standard GitHub repositories.
Key Features
- Massive skill library — Over 701,600 skills are available, with about 597 new skills added in the last 24 hours and 274.9 million total installs tracked.
- One-command installation — Install any skill with
npx skills-lc-cli add <owner/repo>(also available asbunxandpnpm), which fetches the repo and configures it for your agent. - Multi-agent support — Works with Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, and Roo Code; each has dedicated integration documentation.
- Community leaderboard — Browse the most popular skills using filters for New, Trending, Hot, Favorites, and All Time, helping developers find both recent and proven tools.
- GitHub-native storage — Skills live in standard GitHub repositories, so they inherit version control, forking, and collaborative contribution workflows.
- Skill descriptions and metadata — Each listing shows the repository owner, a description, and an install link, making it easy to evaluate before installing.
Who is it for?
- Developers using AI coding assistants — Install ready-made skills to extend Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, or Roo Code with specialized capabilities such as generating commit messages, auditing accessibility, or running browser tests.
- Prompt engineers and skill authors — Publish reusable skills as GitHub repositories and make them discoverable through the Skills.lc leaderboard to reach over 701,000 other users.
- Engineering teams standardizing AI workflows — Create a shared collection of vetted skills for a team, leveraging Git version control and centralizing installs through the CLI.
What can you do with Skills.lc?
- Add tested skills to your agent — Run
npx skills-lc-cli add <owner/repo>to install, for example, acommitskill that generates commit messages from current changes, or asecurity-reviewskill. - Publish your own skills — Put a skill definition in a GitHub repository; anyone can then install it with
npx skills-lc-cli add <owner/repo>and the skill becomes part of the shared ecosystem. - Discover new skills via leaderboards — Filter by New, Trending, Hot, or All Time to find recent additions like accessibility auditing (WCAG 2.2), SCA remediation, or UI development for specific platforms.
- Integrate with your IDE — Follow the docs for Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Cursor to configure skills inside your preferred coding environment.
How does Skills.lc work?
To add a skill, you run a single command in your terminal: npx skills-lc-cli add <owner/repo>. The CLI retrieves the skill from the specified GitHub repository and installs it into your AI agent's skill directory. You can then invoke that skill through your assistant's normal interface, and the platform updates its install counters to reflect the installation.
FAQ
How do I install a skill from Skills.lc?
Run npx skills-lc-cli add <owner/repo> in your project directory, or use the equivalent bunx or pnpm command. The CLI fetches the skill from its GitHub repository and configures it for your AI agent, making it available immediately.
Which AI agents are supported by Skills.lc?
Skills.lc works with Claude Code from Anthropic, OpenAI's Codex CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, and Roo Code. Each agent has a dedicated integration guide on the site, and the same skill can typically be used across multiple agents because they follow a shared skill format.
How many skills are available on Skills.lc?
As of the current data, Skills.lc lists over 701,600 skills with 274.9 million total installs. The platform is actively growing — approximately 597 new skills were added in the last 24 hours.
Can I publish my own skill to Skills.lc?
Yes, Skills.lc is an open ecosystem. Create a GitHub repository containing your skill definition, and it will become part of the catalog. Other users can then install it with the same one-command tool, and your skill will appear in the leaderboard if it gains popularity.
