What it does
"Skills" are small instruction files that teach an AI assistant how to do a particular job, such as writing tests or working with a certain tool. This project collects thousands of them in one catalogue that works with assistants like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and others.
Its AAS Core tool lets your assistant search the whole catalogue, choose skills for your project and show you a plan before anything is installed. The makers say the tool doesn't rank or recommend skills itself, and that applying plans is still experimental.
There is also a website version of the catalogue and a browser-based Workbench for reviewing choices.
