# Agentic Awesome Skills

> Agentic Awesome Skills (v20.0.0, Oct 2026, ~48k stars) is a library of 2,750+ SKILL.md playbooks for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Copilot and other agents. Install skills with one npx command per host (needs Node.js and Git). AAS Core, a local MCP server and CLI, lets the agent search the full catalogue, record the skills it picks and preview an install plan; it does not rank skills, and apply and recovery are still experimental. Code is MIT, written content CC BY 4.0. Free; your agent may have its own plan or API costs.
