Skill Issue
Where you find, build, and share .md skill files that make AI agents actually good at specific tasks. Over 10,000 skills indexed from GitHub.
Overview
Skill Issue is a platform for AI skill files — .md files with instructions that tell your AI how to behave for a specific task. Instead of explaining everything from scratch every conversation, you drop in a skill and it just knows. Browse 10,000+ skills from Anthropic, Vercel, OpenAI, HuggingFace, and the community. Build your own in plain English. The AI writes the SKILL.md for you.
