It answers nothing itself, and each entry below is the page that answers its own question. Every page in the topics below names its publisher, its first-party sources, and the date its claims were last checked. Every one of them is also published as Markdown at the same URL with a `.md` suffix. ## Topics ### Cross-agent sharing Keep one team library visible while teammates use Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, MCP, or a direct source workflow. - [Agent Skills: the open standard for extending AI agents](https://www.skillsboard.sh/agent-skills): What AI agent skills are, what the Agent Skills specification defines, which agents implement it and where each one looks on disk, what actually travels between them, and where to read real examples. Every claim checked against first-party documentation. - [Agent Skills support: which AI clients read SKILL.md](https://www.skillsboard.sh/agent-skills-support): A compatibility matrix for the Agent Skills format, checked on August 20, 2026. Eleven clients whose own documentation states they read SKILL.md, with the exact directories each one names, thirty-six more listed on the agentskills.io showcase, and the behavior nobody has documented. - [Anthropic skills: every first-party skill and where it loads](https://www.skillsboard.sh/anthropic-skills): A catalog of the skills Anthropic itself publishes: four pre-built document skills, nineteen folders in the anthropics/skills repository, and thirteen bundled with Claude Code. What each one does, which surface loads it, and how it is licensed, checked against first-party sources on August 18, 2026. - [Claude Skills: what they are and how to use them](https://www.skillsboard.sh/claude-skills): A Claude Skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file that gives Claude reusable instructions and resources. The format, where skills run, how to install and write one, and how teams share them. - [How to write a SKILL.md file](https://www.skillsboard.sh/guides/how-to-write-a-skill-md): The frontmatter fields, the description that decides whether a skill fires, the body budget, and the validation step. Checked against the Agent Skills specification and Anthropic documentation on 21 August 2026. - [Skill examples: eight real SKILL.md files, and the pattern each one teaches](https://www.skillsboard.sh/skill-examples): Eight real Agent Skills from anthropics/skills, read file by file: what each SKILL.md does, the pattern worth copying, verbatim excerpts with their source, what all nineteen example skills actually declare in frontmatter, and the six places the examples disagree with the specification they are written to. - [How to install Claude skills in Claude Code](https://www.skillsboard.sh/guides/install-claude-skills-in-claude-code): Where Claude Code stores skills on disk, every documented way to install one, and how to confirm it loaded. Checked against Anthropic documentation on 16 August 2026. - [Codex skills: what they are and how to use them](https://www.skillsboard.sh/codex-skills): A Codex skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file that OpenAI's coding agent loads on demand. The directories Codex scans, what carries over from a Claude skill, how to add one, and how teams keep a single answer per job. - [Cursor skills: what they are and how to use them](https://www.skillsboard.sh/cursor-skills): A Cursor skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file that Cursor discovers at startup and loads when it is relevant. The directories Cursor scans, the frontmatter fields it documents, how to add one, and what teams decide next. - [OpenCode skills: what they are and how to use them](https://www.skillsboard.sh/opencode-skills): An OpenCode skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file that OpenCode loads on demand through a built-in skill tool. The six directories it scans, the five frontmatter fields it recognizes, the allow, ask, and deny model it puts in front of every skill, what the OpenCode 2 beta changes, and how a team distributes one. - [Vercel skills: the official collection, and everything else with that name](https://www.skillsboard.sh/vercel-skills): Vercel skills means at least four different things. The nine Agent Skills in vercel-labs/agent-skills, a vercel skills CLI command, the npx skills tool Vercel builds, and Vercel's own docs directory. Every skill in the collection with its license and install count, the four whose folder name is not their skill name, what the README gets wrong about its own contents, and how a team keeps one answer per job. - [GitHub Copilot skills: what Copilot supports and how to use them](https://www.skillsboard.sh/copilot-skills): GitHub Copilot reads the same SKILL.md file the rest of the ecosystem reads. The five directories it scans, the surfaces where skills work and the two where they do not, the frontmatter fields VS Code adds on top of the specification, how gh skill installs and pins one, and where custom instructions still beat a skill. - [Claude Cowork skills: how they load and where a team keeps them](https://www.skillsboard.sh/cowork-skills): What a skill is inside Claude Cowork, how a session finds and invokes one, the four channels that put a skill in front of it, what changes between desktop, web, and mobile, and how to write one. Every claim checked against first-party documentation. - [AGENTS.md vs SKILL.md: two formats, two different jobs](https://www.skillsboard.sh/agents-md-vs-skill-md): AGENTS.md describes your repository to a coding agent. SKILL.md packages one reusable capability. What each format is, which agents read which, minimal examples of both, and how they work together. - [How to share AI agent skills with your team](https://www.skillsboard.sh/guides/share-agent-skills-with-your-team): A practical workflow to share AI agent skills across a team, set ownership, compare distribution models, and keep one visible team library. - [Manage skills across Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor](https://www.skillsboard.sh/guides/manage-skills-across-claude-codex-cursor): Use one source of truth to manage SKILL.md workflows across Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor without confusing portability with automatic synchronization. - [How to use a shared AI skill library through MCP](https://www.skillsboard.sh/guides/shared-mcp-skill-library-for-teams): Connect an MCP-compatible agent to a shared team skill library, authorize access in the browser, search the team library, and verify a useful handoff. ### Team governance and onboarding Choose useful skills, define accountable workflows, and help a second teammate reproduce the result without private context. - [Claude Code for teams: what a rollout actually configures](https://www.skillsboard.sh/claude-code-for-teams): What changes when Claude Code stops being one developer's tool: which plan carries which admin feature, the five layers a setting can live in, where a team skill goes, how a plugin marketplace reaches everyone, which MCP scope is actually shared, and what a cloned repository does not give a teammate on the first run. - [How to manage AI skills across your organization](https://www.skillsboard.sh/manage-ai-skills): How to manage AI skills across your organization: what each vendor's distribution mechanism covers, where it stops, and the selection layer none of them records.
