Search the web for current information
Read and write shared memory documents. Use this when you need to save knowledge, notes, research findings, or project context for future reference across sessions. Also use it to look up previously stored information.
Research analyst — synthesizes information, provides context, and spots gaps
Search the web. Returns a list of search results to then be explored. Use when you need current information or to verify facts.
Post-execution aspect: capture valuable insights as inspiration cards. Triggers AFTER any agent task completes, discussion ends, or web search returns useful information.
Control a real, local web browser to search, navigate, and extract information.
Performs web searches using DuckDuckGo to retrieve real-time information from the internet. Use when the user needs to search for current events, documentation, tutorials, or any information that requires web search capabilities.
Search the web using Brave Search API. Use for research, current events, finding information online, fact-checking, or when you need to look something up.
Inter-bot communication via the nerve-cord message broker. Use when you need to ask another bot a question, share information (passwords, configs, answers), or check for incoming messages from other bots. Supports E2E encryption for secrets.
Use when implementation is complete and you need a code review with information asymmetry — reviewer sees ONLY the diff, not the spec or conversation history
Review the brain for gaps, stale data, empty templates, and missing information. Cross-references existing content and suggests targeted fixes.
Get complete paper details including title, authors, summary, abstract, and publication date from arXiv. Use when the user provides an arXiv ID and needs full paper information.

Skill files are scattered across GitHub and communities, difficult to search, and hard to evaluate. SkillWink organizes open-source skills into a searchable, filterable library you can directly download and use.
We provide AI semantic + keyword search, version updates, multi-metric ranking (downloads / likes / comments / updates), and open SKILL.md standards. You can also discuss usage and improvements on skill detail pages.
Quick Start:
Import/download skills (.zip/.skill), then place locally:
~/.claude/skills/ (Claude Code)
~/.codex/skills/ (Codex CLI)
One SKILL.md can be reused across tools.
Everything you need to know: what skills are, how they work, how to find/import them, and how to contribute.
A skill is a reusable capability package, usually including SKILL.md (purpose/IO/how-to) and optional scripts/templates/examples.
Think of it as a plugin playbook + resource bundle for AI assistants/toolchains.
Skills use progressive disclosure: load brief metadata first, load full docs only when needed, then execute by guidance.
This keeps agents lightweight while preserving enough context for complex tasks.
Use these three together:
Note: file size for all methods should be within 10MB.
Typical paths (may vary by local setup):
One SKILL.md can usually be reused across tools.
Yes. Most skills are standardized docs + assets, so they can be reused where format is supported.
Example: retrieval + writing + automation scripts as one workflow.
Some skills come from public GitHub repositories and some are uploaded by SkillWink creators. Always review code before installing and own your security decisions.
Most common reasons:
We try to avoid that. Use ranking + comments to surface better skills:
