Coding Skills FAQ

What is a coding agent skill?

It is a reusable instruction package that teaches an AI agent a focused coding & development workflow, often including commands, checks, and supporting resources.

Which coding skill should I try first?

Start with a narrow task you already understand. The current category leader is Github, but requirements and access scope matter more than rank alone.

Does a popular skill mean it is safe?

No. Popularity reflects adoption and interest, not a security guarantee. Read SKILL.md, review commands and dependencies, and test with minimal permissions.
