The 42,800-star registry has no lockfile, no signatures, and no scanning, days after Cisco open-sourced a matching tool.
Why now: Cisco open-sourced skill-scanner and shipped it into an IDE extension days before this registry's skill count hit 1,900.
A GitHub repository packages more than 1,900 installable skills for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and Antigravity, per the repo. It has pulled in roughly 42,800 stars, which makes it a default stop for equipping agents with new capabilities. None of the 1,900 skills carry a signature, a lockfile, or a scan step before they land on your machine.
The scale showed up days after Cisco open-sourced skill-scanner and shipped it into an IDE extension, which the listing calls no coincidence. A tool built for this exact gap arrived right as the gap hit its biggest target yet.
Package management already went through this problem, and lockfiles, signatures, and audit tooling were the fix, per the listing's own framing. Skills installed through curated bundles have none of that machinery in place yet.
Cisco's skill-scanner does the check this registry skips, and skipping it while sitting at 42,800 stars is the risky combination. If you're pulling skills from here, run the scanner against a bundle before you install it, not after.

ComposioHQ's awesome-claude-skills sits around 60,000 stars and now curates 1,000+ production-ready Skills, reusable SKILL.md instruction packages with YAML frontmatter, that run beyond Claude across Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and Antigravity. Skills hardened into a portable,...
The antigravity-awesome-skills repository hit 36,145 GitHub stars with a catalog of 1,400+ installable SKILL.md playbooks that work across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Kiro, OpenCode, and GitHub Copilot. One command: npx antigravity-awesome-skills --claude. That...
xAI launched Grok Build on May 14. With that, every major AI lab now ships a coding agent that lives in your terminal. The competition isn't "can we build one" anymore. That question is settled. The lineup: Anthropic has Claude Code. OpenAI has Codex CLI. Google has Gemini CLI...
A single SKILL.md file now runs identically across Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, and Antigravity IDE. Anthropic's frontend-design skill (277K+ installs) demonstrates the pattern. Invest in one well-crafted SKILL.md, get consistent output everywhere. Source
wanshuiyin/HERO-Anti-OverDefense went from creation to 68 stars in a single day. HERO is Hashing, Edge cases, Rubrics, Overbuild, and the claim is that agent over-engineering isn't diffuse but falls into four recognizable shapes suppressible with a portable prompt contract acr...
Tooling is converging on tool-agnostic config: ruler projects one rules file into every agent's format, Cline's CLI bundles Skills so the same SKILL.md runs in Cline and Claude Code, and large installable skill libraries target Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Gemini CLI from o...
