Introducing GetSkills: I Vibecoded The GitHub for AI Skills — 3,000+ Skills You Can Install in One Click

May 11, 2026

Hey there! 👋

You know that feeling when you’ve got the perfect Claude Code prompt buried in some Slack thread from three weeks ago, another one in a Notion page you can’t find, and a third one screenshotted on your phone?

Yeah. Me too.

That’s the problem I kept running into. Every time I switched between writing PRDs, reviewing code, debugging a flaky test, or drafting an investor update, I needed a different “skill” — a different system prompt, a different prompt template, a different YAML frontmatter file. And they were scattered everywhere.

So two weeks ago I sat down with Claude Code and started vibecoding. Not “let me think about this for six months” coding. Vibecoding — the kind where you describe what you want, Claude builds it, you ship it, you fix what’s broken, repeat.

The result is GetSkills — the GitHub for AI Skills. 3,000+ skills, free, one-click install into Claude Code, Cursor, or ChatGPT.

Let me walk you through it.

🎬 The Problem (You Already Know It)

Let me tell you a truth.

Every PM, founder, and engineer I know is collecting prompts like trading cards. We screenshot them. We Slack them to ourselves. We paste them into Notion docs we’ll never open again. And then when we actually need one — at 11pm, mid-sprint, with a deadline tomorrow — we can’t find it.

It’s worse with skills than prompts. Skills are bigger. They’re full instruction files for AI tools. Claude Code reads them from ~/.claude/skills/. Cursor pulls them from .cursorrules. ChatGPT wants them as Custom GPT instructions. Different tools, different formats, same problem.

The result: every team rebuilds the same skills from scratch. You write a “PR reviewer” skill, your buddy writes a “PR reviewer” skill, the engineer two desks over writes a “PR reviewer” skill. None of you ever see each other’s work.

I covered this scattered-prompt problem in my GetPrompts launch earlier this year. GetPrompts solved it for prompts. GetSkills now solves it for skills — the bigger, more powerful instruction sets that Anthropic, Cursor, and OpenAI are increasingly pushing as the right primitive for AI workflows.

🚀 What Is GetSkills?

GetSkills is a searchable marketplace of 3,000+ AI skills for Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and Windsurf. You browse, you find what you need, you click “Install into Claude Code” — and the skill drops into your tool with the install command copied to your clipboard.

🧩 The 4 Surfaces That Matter

GetSkills has four surfaces. Each maps to one moment in your workflow.

🔍 Search & Browse

The fastest way in. Type a problem (”debug a race condition”, “PRD writer”, “investor update”), get back the most relevant skills sorted by install count or rating.

Filters that actually narrow:

Category: coding, business, writing, devops, data, design, productivity, education
Platform: Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, Copilot, Windsurf, Universal
Tags: #typescript, #python, #fastapi, #shadcn-ui, #testing — clickable, hyperlinked

📦 Starter Packs

Eight curated bundles, ~10 skills each, hand-picked for one role:

Engineer Essentials — debugging, code review, refactoring, system design
Founder Pack — investor updates, board memos, fundraising, near-death pivots
PM Pack — PRDs, prioritization, discovery, launch

⚡ Install Action

The single biggest UX win. Every skill detail page has three buttons:

Install into Claude Code — primary CTA. Downloads SKILL.md + copies the install command. Paste in terminal, done.
Download — just the .md file, for any tool.
Copy — clipboard copy of the full skill code, for Custom GPTs and quick paste.

We’re shipping “Install into Cursor” and “Install into ChatGPT” buttons next. The mechanic is the same — download to the right path, copy the right command.

📚 Library + Collections

Saved skills, organized into collections (Pro). Recently viewed coming soon.

If you’re a PM building a launch in three weeks, your “Launch Sprint” collection might have:

PRD writer
RICE prioritizer
A/B test designer

💡 Pro Tips & Power User Secrets

After two weeks of using my own product, here are the tips I’d give a new user:

Pick a starter pack on day 1. Don’t try to browse 3,000 skills. Pick the one matching your role and install all 10. Iterate from there.
Use ⌘K from anywhere. The command palette is open from any page. It’s faster than clicking through menus.
Tag-click is a hidden navigation tool. On any skill detail page, click a tag (#fastapi, #cursor, #postmortem) to see every related skill instantly.
The “Install into Claude Code” button copies the install command. You don’t need to remember the path. Just paste in your terminal.
Submit a skill if you don’t see it. Free, you can submit up to 3/day, admin moderation usually clears within 24 hr. Your skill goes live with your name on it.
The Pricing page has a yearly toggle that’s easy to miss. Yearly = $150/yr instead of $14.99 × 12 = $179.88. $30 saving.
Reviews lift signal. A 4.5-star skill with 8 reviews ranks higher than a 5-star skill with 1 review. So your 1-star reviews aren’t wasted — they keep the marketplace honest.

🚨 Ready to Get Started? Here’s What to Do Next

Three steps. 5 minutes.

Sign up free at getskillsai.org. Email + Google login both work.
Pick your role and tools in the onboarding modal. We’ll route you to your starter pack.
Install one skill into Claude Code (or Cursor, or ChatGPT). Use it on something real this week.

If you build a skill you’re proud of: submit it. It goes through review and ships with your byline.

If you want to support the project: hit the Pricing page. Pro is $14.99/mo or $150/yr — unlocks unlimited copies, unlimited saves, collections, priority submissions, and premium skills.

For my paid Product Channel subscribers: there’s a free Pro upgrade dropping in next week’s bundle update. If you’re not paid yet, now would be a great time to upgrade — you’ll get GetSkills Pro free as part of the bundle.
