There wasn't a single place to browse them, compare them, and grab the ones that fit your workflow.</p> <p>Now there is.</p> <h2> What's in it </h2> <p>We've curated 50 skills across 9 categories: Document Automation, Development &amp; Engineering, Code Review &amp; Quality, Testing &amp; Debugging, Workflow &amp; Productivity, Design &amp; Creative, Communication &amp; Writing, Business &amp; Finance, and Browser &amp; Agent Automation.</p> <p>The popular, battle-tested ones are front and center:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>DOCX / PDF / PPTX / XLSX</strong>: Anthropic's document automation skills</li> <li> <strong>Test-Driven Development</strong> and <strong>Systematic Debugging</strong>: for a disciplined coding workflow</li> <li> <strong>Code Review</strong> and <strong>Security Review</strong>: for catching issues before they ship</li> <li> <strong>Frontend Design</strong> and <strong>Artifacts Builder</strong>: for building polished UI fast</li> <li> <strong>Brainstorming</strong> and <strong>Writing Plans</strong>: for shaping features before you build them</li> </ul> <p>Every skill is organized by category and author, so you can find what's relevant to your stack instead of digging through GitHub search results.</p> <h2> Something missing? Add it. </h2> <p>This is an open source project, and the Skills directory is only as good as what the community adds to it. If there's a skill you use and like that isn't listed yet, we'd like you to add it.</p> <p>Go to the <a href="https://bestofai.io/contribute/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Contribute page</a> and open a PR, or an issue if you're not sure how to format it, and we'll get it added.</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://bestofai.io/skills" rel="noopener noreferrer">Browse Skills</a></li> <li> <a href="https://dev.to/contribute/">Contribute</a>: how to submit or fix a listing</li> <li><a href="https://github.com/best-of-ai/best-of-ai" rel="noopener noreferrer">GitHub repo</a></li> </ul> agents ai llm skills
