Is it safe to install skills from skills.sh?
Mostly, but check first: every skill listed on skills.sh goes through routine security audits by partner providers, and skills that fail all of them are removed. Vercel still says it cannot guarantee any skill's quality or security, and advises reading a skill's SKILL.md file before you install it.
Which AI agents work with Skills?
Skills works with the common AI coding agents; skills.sh lists Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Gemini and Cline among others. Support can differ from one skill to the next, so check the skill's own documentation before you rely on it.
