Best Agent Skills Directories in 2026: Compared

Remote OpenClaw is the best agent skills directory in 2026, and cross-agent coverage is what separates the top of this list from the bottom: it indexes 13,870+ MCP servers, 4,384+ agent skills, and 3,687+ plugins across five agent runtimes, free, with daily public counts. This comparison ranks eight directories (Remote OpenClaw, skills.sh, agentskills.io, ClawHub, agensi.io, skillsllm.com, LobeHub, and aitmpl.com) by agents supported, catalog size, vetting, and cost, and every entry was verified live in early July 2026.

Disclosure: Remote OpenClaw is our own directory, so we have an obvious interest in ranking it first. That ranking rests only on claims you can verify yourself on our public stats page, and each competitor below gets a fair entry with its genuine strengths and one honest limitation.

What Makes a Good Skills Directory

An agent skills directory is a searchable index of SKILL.md packages, the open Agent Skills format that Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, and dozens of other tools now read. Because one skill can serve many agents, the most useful directories in 2026 are the ones that cover many runtimes rather than one, which is the primary axis of this ranking; catalog size, vetting, install tooling, and cost are the tiebreakers.

The format's spread is recent and fast. Anthropic released Agent Skills as an open standard, OpenAI's Codex adopted it, and the ecosystem context is covered in our guide to the rise of AI agent skills. If you only care about one runtime, we keep per-agent roundups too, starting with the best places to find Claude Code skills; this page is the cross-agent umbrella.

1. Remote OpenClaw (Best Overall, Best Cross-Agent Coverage)

Remote OpenClaw's skills hub is the only directory in this comparison with dedicated, separately organized hubs for four agent runtimes: Claude Code, Codex, Hermes Agent, and OpenClaw. Instead of one flat list, each hub organizes skills the way that agent actually categorizes and installs them.

As of early July 2026, the full index covered 13,870+ MCP servers, 4,384+ agent skills, and 3,687+ plugins across five runtimes (the four hubs above plus Cursor and other MCP clients). Three verifiable facts back the ranking:

• Free with no account. Browsing, searching, and copying install details cost nothing.
• Public analytics. All counts refresh daily on the stats page, so catalog size is auditable rather than asserted.
• Terminal and agent access. npx remoteopenclaw search <query> searches the same index from a shell, or from inside any agent via the open-source MCP server.

The honest caveat: it is ours, which is exactly why this entry sticks to numbers you can check.

2. skills.sh (Best Install Analytics)

skills.sh is Vercel's agent skills leaderboard and the ecosystem's best source of adoption data: skills install with npx skills add <owner/repo> into 22 supported agents including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, and Goose. Its top skill, find-skills from vercel-labs, showed 2.3M installs as of July 2026, and 24-hour trending filters make it the fastest way to see what developers are adopting right now.

One limitation: ranking is popularity-driven and skills.sh does not publish vetting or security review criteria, so install counts signal adoption, not safety.

3. agentskills.io (The Specification Home)

agentskills.io is the official home of the Agent Skills specification, the open standard (originally developed by Anthropic) that defines the SKILL.md format every other directory on this list indexes. Its client showcase documents adoption across dozens of tools, from Claude Code and Codex to Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot, and Goose, each with a link to that tool's skills documentation, and its quickstart plus spec pages are the canonical reference for anyone publishing skills.

One limitation: it is a standards site rather than a catalog; you will not find large browsable listings or install counts there, so pair it with an index like the ones above.

4. ClawHub (Best Security Screening)

ClawHub is the OpenClaw ecosystem's official skills and plugins marketplace and the only directory in this comparison with platform-level security screening: Skill Vetter and SkillScan checks, signed manifests, and moderated releases. Publishing and installing run through the clawhub CLI or GitHub import, and the vetting pipeline was hardened after the incidents we documented in our ClawHub malicious skills audit.

One limitation: it serves one runtime. Skills use the portable SKILL.md format, but the tooling, categories, and moderation all assume OpenClaw, so users of other agents install manually.

5. skillsllm.com (Largest Published Independent Count)

skillsllm.com listed 3,524 open-source skills across 10 categories as of July 2026, the largest published count among the independent indexes, covering Claude Code, Codex CLI, ChatGPT, Gemini CLI, Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, and Cursor. It layers GitHub data onto every listing, with sorting by stars or recency and language tags, which makes it a solid research tool when you want to compare a skill's traction before installing.

One limitation: it indexes open-source projects only and ranks by GitHub stars, so there is no install data and popular-but-stale repositories can outrank better-maintained newcomers.

6. agensi.io (Curated Marketplace)

agensi.io is a curated skills marketplace supporting 20+ agents including Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Gemini CLI, with roughly 800+ listed skills spanning frontend, testing, DevOps, code review, and documentation. Delivery is simple: you download a SKILL.md file, free or paid depending on the listing, and its catalog includes security-focused tooling such as skill safety and injection scanners.

One limitation: it mixes free and paid listings and publishes no install analytics, so you cannot see adoption before buying, and the catalog skews toward general coding tasks over niche domains.

7. LobeHub (Marketplace Inside a Bigger Ecosystem)

LobeHub runs an Agent Skills Marketplace positioned around Claude, Codex, and ChatGPT skills, attached to its broader open-source AI workspace ecosystem. Listings are indexed from GitHub with category browsing and per-skill pages, and the marketplace benefits from LobeHub's large existing user base discovering skills alongside its other agent tooling.

One limitation: LobeHub publishes no overall catalog count or install analytics, and skill discovery is a side feature of a bigger product rather than the product itself, so search and filtering are shallower than the dedicated indexes above.

8. aitmpl.com (Biggest Claude Code Component Library)

aitmpl.com, the site for davila7's claude-code-templates project, advertises 1,000+ ready-to-use components including skills, agents, commands, hooks, MCPs, and plugins, with a stack builder for assembling a full setup at once. Because its skills use the standard SKILL.md format, much of the catalog ports to other agents with a manual copy.

One limitation: it is Claude Code-first and maintained as a single-maintainer open-source project, so non-Claude users get no install path and coverage depends on one contributor pipeline.

Comparison Table

Here is how all eight directories compare, with agents supported as the first column because cross-agent coverage is the biggest practical difference between them. All data verified in July 2026.

When a Directory Is the Wrong Tool

Skip directories when the skill you need encodes your own team's process, because a downloaded SKILL.md will never know your deploy pipeline or review rules; write that one yourself against the spec at agentskills.io. Directories are for commodity capabilities: integrations, file formats, framework conventions, and recipes hundreds of teams share.

Also treat every third-party skill as executable input to an agent with your permissions. Only ClawHub applies platform-level security screening among the eight sources here, so on every other directory the vetting step is you reading the SKILL.md and its bundled scripts before install.
