What should you check when choosing an AI skill?
An AI skill includes SKILL.md instructions and any supporting files that tell an agent how to perform a specific task. Unlike a single prompt, it can package a reusable workflow. Browse the catalog by category or publisher to find skills for design, code development, document processing and data work.
Skill details include the publisher’s repository, a pinned GitHub revision, a license link and the file count. Before choosing the installation command for your agent, check the original description and whether the skill includes scripts. Knowing the publisher’s source does not mean a security audit has been carried out.
