A free directory of agent skills
Useful skills.
Read before you install.
A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file that tells a compatible AI agent when and how to do a task. Skill Pantry collects public skills, reads the instructions, checks the applicable license, and explains where each one helps and where it may not.

A readable workflow
Small files.
Clear decisions.
The instruction file defines a task and its boundaries. Supporting templates or scripts may sit beside it; read them before giving an agent access.

02Check files, license, and side effects

Our review process
Source, scope, and caveats.
We verify that the source folder contains SKILL.md, read its instructions, check the applicable license, and write a practical review. For third-party skills we link to the maintainer’s files; we do not copy their instruction text.
01 / Verify
Find the actual folder
A listing points to a public repository, the exact skill folder, and the license that applies there.
02 / Read
Describe the tradeoffs
We look at the workflow and note scripts, network use, installation effort, and when the skill is a poor fit.
03 / Recheck
Mark the review date
Source files can change. Each review says when we checked it, so you can compare the current version.
Will every agent find a SKILL.md folder?
No. Discovery paths and supported features vary by agent and version. Check your agent’s documentation, copy the complete folder, and verify that a new session can see it. Our install guide explains a safe starting process.
Are the listed skills checked for safety?
We read the instructions and source structure and call out behavior worth inspecting. A review cannot guarantee that an agent will act safely or that future source revisions remain the same. Run new skills with narrow permissions and inspect scripts before execution.
Can I suggest a skill?
Yes. Submissions are free, with no paid placement. Send a public repository, folder path, and clear license to [email protected]. We may decline a listing if the source or fit is unclear.
Choose a skill with context.
Read the review, inspect the source, then try it on a small task.
