Re: Show HN: Agent Skills Leaderboard
#3What is this? How does it work? How are skills ranked? Seems a little bit fishy to me that you can only tell it's from Vercel if you click the top left corner, and the top two skills come from vercel... despite there definitely being much more used skills in the overall AI coding ecosystem.
The UI looks nice, otherwise. I had thought about building something like this - maybe this just increases my confidence that this is needed, just not affiliated with a company.

#4The leaderboard is ranked by the weekly download count by their "npx skills" command. This is Vercel new "standard" skills installer so obvious their skills are at the top.

Assuming that's a response to me... that explanation would have been nice, and it's misleading without it.

Hi! This is all explained in our docs: https://skills.sh/docs/faq

By npm weekly installs (??). Famously good signal for quality.
Edit: Not even npm, their own tools download count...

#8As someone who has found skills useful, seeing skills like this[0] raises the same question about (a subset of) skills as did MCP: why not just have the agent run ‘tool --help’?

skills are ranked by anonymous telemetry from running `npx skills add `
Vercel's skills are popularly installed because we initially launched `npx skills` with the launch of our `react-best-practices`
But have been developing the tool in tandem!

#10Nice work! I don't think Vercel is the first to do this, but it's a good idea and I'm glad to see more players in this space.
A small UI suggestion: it would be helpful if hovering on a row showed the skill description, along with a button to copy the install command.
For anyone interested, there are two other sites already doing something similar:
- claudemarketplaces.com - A comprehensive directory with 1900+ marketplaces, shows descriptions directly in the list view with copy-to-install commands
- skillsmp.com - Has 77K+ skills indexed from GitHub. Cool developer-style UI, but honestly the UX could use work—the search is hidden behind cryptic command-style buttons and it's not obvious how to actually search
Also worth checking out the Claude Code Mastery guide (thedecipherist.github.io/claude-code-mastery) for a deeper dive into skills, hooks, MCP, and CLAUDE.md.
