SkillsGate: Open Source Marketplace for AI Coding Agent Skills
SkillsGate is an open source marketplace for discovering, installing, and publishing skills for AI coding agents including Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf. The project has indexed over 45,000 skills from GitHub repositories, enriched them with LLM-generated metadata, and built vector embeddings for semantic search functionality.
Current Features
The tool currently offers:
- Semantic search that understands intent rather than just keywords. For example, searching "help me write better commit messages" returns relevant skills.
- One-command installation via
npx skillsgate add username/skill-namefor SkillsGate-hosted skills - Direct installation from any GitHub repository using
npx skillsgate add owner/repo - Publishing capabilities for your own skills through direct upload (GitHub repository sync is in development)
Development Roadmap
Features currently under development include:
- Private and organization-scoped skills for team usage
