Dockerhub for Skill.md

I think calling it "official" might be giving users the wrong impression here.

EDIT: It doesn't help that the skills have a checkmark next to the company's name, even though these skills weren't created by the respective companies.

I do like the idea of crowd-sourced collections of resources like skills.

It might be more useful if it was an index of skills managed in GitHub. Sort of like GitHub actions which can be browsed in the marketplace[1] but are ultimately just normal git repos.

This is nothing like Dockerhub and, I'm sorry, but it's seriously useless. In its current state its worse than basically anything else.

You have no versioning, no automated or simplified update, no way to verify the authors, etc. The "installation" is literally just a wget.

This is a really poor solution for the moment, and honestly I think for the forseable future. I don't see how anything beyond git is necessary for skills management.

Most of the skills currently hosted are also really bad. They are just a duplicate of the information that MCP would give the models.

AI agent skills are very useful. Unlike MCP they do not waste context. Most of the time I am building skills that are very particular to my project. But occasionally I do use a skill that is more generic. Particularly when something is too new to have made it into the LLM training data set. Or not common enough.

I don't understand how "agent-browser" works.

Is it just the instructions? Where is the browsing executed? Locally with pupetter? Or it uses some service?

Official according to who?

For the next model training version, would it make sense to incorporate all of these in the base model?

Have we finally tricked devs and companies into writing good documentation by making it into an AI thing?

This has got to be the dream scenario for technical writers and historians who have a hard time getting the business to invest into their work. Better writing and comprehensive documentation make all your devs using AI write better code as well as easier adoption by your customers.

Honestly anything calling itself the “official” solution to Skills at this point is a scam at best.
