Master your skills: Building skills you can trust (opens on the source site)
Red Hat ·
In my article Standardize project context with AGENTS.md and Agent Skills, I discussed agent context, how skills work, and how to share skills across projects and teams. If you followed along with that article, you now have skills in .agents/skills/, and maybe even a marketplace set up, which is a good foundation to build on. But how do you know your skills actually work? The post Master your skills: Building skills you can trust appeared first on Red Hat Developer.
REX : des agents IA et des skills sur huit projets, nous gardons le volant et le fossé attendra (opens on the source site)
Des agents IA écrivent une part croissante de notre code, sur huit projets. La vraie question n'est plus « sait-il coder ? » mais « comment savoir ce qu'il a réellement vérifié ? ». Notre réponse : un projet de pilotage qui mesure et propose, une personne qui décide. Règles, incidents, chiffres mesurés et cinq gestes pour commencer demain.

In seven months, the skills.sh registry grew to one million agent skills and recorded nearly 280 million installs. A skill gives an AI agent reusable instructions for a particular job. Agents are capable but generic; they can do many jobs, but they don't know how a specific person, team, or company does them. A skill supplies that missing context and can be as simple as a file written in ordinary language. Anthropic introduced Agent Skills in October 2025, and Vercel launched the skills.sh registry three months later. Using aggregate data from the registry, this report follows a new market…
thoughtbot's agent skills (opens on the source site)
We just published a bunch of our agent skills! We’ve been creating these ad hoc as we work on projects, but we finally pulled them all together into a single consolidated list. Check out our thoughtbot/skills GitHub repo for details about using them. It’s pretty cool to see these skills downloaded from my coworkers’ heads and into a format that Claude can use. Many of them were inspired by classic posts on this blog and by our style guides. We briefly considered keeping all these skills private: why share our secret recipes? And honestly some of them feel like a real power-up in the right…

CNBC and SurveyMonkey Social Skills Pulse Survey (opens on the source site)
Key findings: Classes are where most college students make friends, while dorms are the center of college social life for on-campus dwellers Among Americans who are attending or attended college, 75% say they made friends from their classes. Other spaces are less common for connection: campus jobs (27%), dorms (24%), parties (19%), dining halls (19%), clubs (17%), sports teams (16%), and Greek life (7%). Dorms were a significant driver for connection for on-campus residents: among those who lived on campus, 74% made friends in dorms. This declines sharply for off-campus students: Younger…

New agent commands and skills are being created all over the interwebs. Most of the daily emails I subscribe to have become a deluge of new agent workflows promising to supercharge my productivity.

Posted by Jose Alcérreca, Developer Relations Engineer, Android Developer RelationsWe released the official Android Skills in April, and the response surpassed all our expectations. In this blog post, I'll address some of the feedback we received, explaining the philosophy and methodology behind the project. Hopefully, this will also help you understand what happens behind the scenes when you install and use skills, allowing you to make better use of tokens and your own time. Why are there so few official skills? Currently, we only consider new skills when there's a verifiable knowledge gap…

Customize Replit Agent with Skills & Custom Instructions (opens on the source site)
Replit ·
Every team has conventions. How you structure a project. How you handle secrets. Your design system, your testing standards, your code style. The problem: AI Agents don’t know your conventions. So you explain it again on every prompt, paste in your standards doc, or just hope someone remembered to add the context. It is one of those small frictions that compounds quietly until you are spending more time re-teaching the Agent than actually building. Today we're launching Agent Customization: a way to give Replit Agent the context it needs to work the way you or your team actually works, across…

An Engineer’s Guide to Better AI Skills: Implementing a Testing Process to Optimize Agent Performance in Any Repository or SkillAuthor: Daniel ReedThe tech industry is currently seeing a massive overhaul in the way we work and many are enjoying the benefits of AI agents, particularly when automating engineer workflows and serving domain-specific knowledge. However, relying on agents to consistently invoke a custom skill can be surprisingly unreliable at times.When adopting a new skill intended to help agents write code for Pinterest’s iOS architecture (I’ll call it rx-mvvm) we discovered that…

Like most Android teams, we have strong opinions about how code should be structured: where ViewModels get their data, how analytics events flow, how feature flags are checked, what a "new screen" looks like from Fragment to preview function.The…
Teach your AI coding agent how to send email with Postmark Skills (opens on the source site)
Postmark ·
If you've ever asked an AI coding agent to help you integrate email into your app, you've probably gotten code that looks right but isn't quite right. Maybe it used an outdated endpoint. Maybe it forgot about Message Streams entirely. Maybe it hallucinated a method that doesn't exist. (We've seen all three.)AI agents are only as good as the context they have, and until now, most of them had to rely on whatever fragments of Postmark documentation made it into their training data.Today, we're releasing Postmark Skills, a set of open source Agent Skills that teach AI coding agents how to work…
