FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about what skills are, how to use them, and safety.

01What are Agent Skills for Claude Code and Codex?
▼

Introduced by Anthropic in 2025, Agent Skills are standardized instruction packages--typically a SKILL.md file plus optional scripts--that give AI coding agents specialized procedural knowledge. They teach agents like Claude Code and Codex exactly how to perform complex developer tasks deterministically.

02Are "Claude Skills" and "Agent Skills" the same thing?
▼

Yes. Anthropic launched the feature as "Claude Skills," but the underlying open specification is widely known as Agent Skills because leading frameworks like Codex and Cursor have adopted the exact same SKILL.md format.

03How does the Agent Search Tool work?
▼

Our Search Tool is designed specifically for the agents themselves. By installing it once into your environment, your AI agent gains the ability to autonomously search, fetch, and execute any skill from the skills.rest library on demand, bypassing manual installations entirely.

04What is the difference between an Agent Skill and an MCP Server?
▼

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server provides your agent with live external data connections and API access via a client-server process. An Agent Skill provides local procedural logic, execution scripts, and guidelines. They are engineered to work together seamlessly.

05How does skills.rest ensure the security of indexed skills?
▼

During ingestion, every skill--including its SKILL.md file, attached resources, and execution code--undergoes a strict security audit. To further assist developer assessment, we explicitly verify "Official" skills from recognized technology organizations and display real-time GitHub metrics for community submissions.
