What SkillsLLM is and who it's for
SkillsLLM is a curated directory of open-source AI skills, MCP servers, CLI tools, IDE extensions, and other instruction packages that extend AI coding assistants. It aggregates, categorizes, and security-scans open-source skills so developers can discover and install them without combing through GitHub. The catalog lists over 6,100 skills across 10 categories, with a total of over 15 million GitHub stars. Every skill is scanned daily by a CI workflow that runs Semgrep, npm audit, and pip-audit, and results are shown as PASS, WARNING, or FAIL.

Why SkillsLLM submissions get rejected or stall

- Repository is not open-source.
- Repository fails the security scan (though it may still be listed with a FAIL label, it won't be eligible for Featured placement).
- Duplicate listing of an already submitted repository.
Tips for a listing that gets approved
- Ensure your repository has at least 100 stars before submitting.
- Include a SKILL.md file at the root of your repository to describe the skill's purpose, capabilities, installation, and supported AI assistants.
- Keep your repository public and well-documented; the scraper fetches metadata automatically.
- If you want extra visibility, consider purchasing a Featured placement after your skill passes the security scan.
