You tell Claude the job. It searches the skills directory, ranks what it finds by real installs and who published it, and installs the one you pick into whatever agent you run. Here is the install command, the five skills to get first, and the honest part about safety.
npx skills add vercel-labs/skills --skill find-skills -g -y
Works from any terminal. It detects the agents you have (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and so on) and puts the skill in the right folder for each.
-g installs it globally (all your projects). -y skips the prompts. Drop both if you want to choose per project.
find searches the directory in plain English and prints ranked results with install counts. update pulls newer versions of everything you installed.

This is why it beats scrolling a list. The ranking rule is written into the skill itself, Step 4 of its SKILL.md.

| Signal | How the skill reads it |
|---|---|
| Install count | 1,000 or more is treated as proven. Under 100 is treated with caution. |
| Publisher | Official sources (vercel-labs, anthropics, microsoft) rank above unknown handles. |
| GitHub stars | One input, not the whole answer. A source repo under 100 stars is treated with skepticism. |
| The leaderboard | Checked first, before any search. It ranks every skill by total installs. |
The difference between a useful result and a useless one is entirely in how you ask.
| Strong search | Weak search |
|---|---|
| "fill in a PDF form and save it back out" | "pdf" |
| "draft a newsletter in a voice taken from past issues" | "writing" |
| "run my test suite and explain which failures are related" | "testing" |
| "carry context and memory between sessions" | "memory" |

These five are the categories worth filling before anything else, because they compound. I picked each one the way the finder does: the leaderboard first, then a plain-English search, then installs and publisher. Counts are from skills.sh on 27 August 2026.
find-skills by vercel-labs. Install this before you go looking for anything. Everything below gets easier to find once it is in.
handoff by mattpocock. Long sessions degrade. Something that carries state to tomorrow pays for itself in a week. Number nine on the leaderboard.
agent-browser by vercel-labs. Navigate, click, fill forms, extract data, screenshot. The wrapper for the tool you already live in, which for most jobs is a browser tab.
code-review by coderabbitai. Catching your own mistakes before someone else does is the highest-value thing you can automate. Top result for "review my code for bugs and security before commit".
office-mcp by claude-office-skills. Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF. The gap between "describes the file" and "produces the file". Top result for "create and edit PDF Word Excel and PowerPoint files".
Smaller count than the others. Over 1,000 is the finder's own bar for "proven", and this one clears it. Read its SKILL.md before you install; it touches your files.
The README lists every agent with its project path and its global path. Claude Code gets .claude/skills/ in the project and ~/.claude/skills/ globally. I counted the table row by row: 77.



Andrew Qu, Vercel. He wrote the skill's first commit on 26 January 2026 and the Vercel changelog post that introduced the whole skills ecosystem six days earlier. The ranking rule in Step 4 came later, from an outside contributor's pull request in March. Open source works like that.
