Frequently asked questions

What are agent skills?

Agent skills are reusable instruction packages (SKILL.md files) that extend AI coding agents like Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Cursor with specialized capabilities. They give agents domain expertise in specific tools, frameworks, and workflows.

What is a Task on Awesome Skills?

A Task is a curated recipe for getting real work done — an ordered pipeline of skills from the directory (for example Launch Video: demo → edit → captions → translate). Pick a Task, install the steps, and run them in your agent.

How do I install a Claude Code skill?

Run npx skills add author/repo-name in your terminal. This automatically downloads and configures the skill for your agent. Skills install in seconds and work immediately in your next session.

Are these skills free to use?

Yes. All skills in the directory are open source and free to use. They are hosted on GitHub and licensed by their respective authors.

What is SKILL.md?

SKILL.md is the standard format for agent skills. It is a Markdown file containing structured instructions, context, and examples that teach an AI agent how to perform a specific task. Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor all support SKILL.md.
