Search broadly
Start with the outcome you want, not a tool name. Skilly searches the text that describes what a skill actually does.
THE SKILLY DOCS Everything you need to
Everything you need to
find the right skill.
Skilly is an independent index for agent skills. Use these docs to discover capabilities, install them in your agent harness, and build tools on top of the catalog.
Find capability by what it does.
Search names, frontmatter descriptions, categories, source repositories, and full SKILL.md instructions. Open a result to inspect the original content, verify its source, and copy the install command.

Four steps from search to useful.
Read the source
Review the publisher, repository, install target, and complete instructions before you trust a skill in a project.
Install locally
Run the copied command from the project where your agent works. Keep the scope narrow and changes reviewable.
Build on the index
Use the public search endpoint for agent tooling, discovery surfaces, and internal skill pickers.
Pick the depth you need.
CLI reference
Install a skill, understand the command shape, and troubleshoot the first run.
What are skills?
A deeper guide to the instruction package, activation flow, scope, and safety boundaries.
API reference
Search the catalog programmatically and fetch metadata, instructions, and audits.
Search guide
Use query parameters for broad, field-specific, and shareable searches.
Create a skill
Go from a repeatable task to a clear, testable SKILL.md.

FAQ
Short answers about indexing, security, installs, harnesses, and community votes.
A GOOD DEFAULT
Read the instructions before you run them.
A skill is reusable procedural knowledge, but it is still code-adjacent input from another publisher. Check the source, understand the requested tools, and keep credentials out of skill files.
