awesome-agent-skills: A Curated Chinese-Language Skills Index

Most English-language skill indexes assume an English-first reading audience and translate later. libukai/awesome-agent-skills inverts that: the README is written primarily in Simplified Chinese, with English and Japanese translations linked from the top of the page. If your team works in Chinese, this is one of the more useful discovery layers.

Why This Skill Matters

The README leads with a curation principle: "few but excellent." Rather than enumerate every skill on GitHub, the list picks ~45 entries across two top-level groupings — Official Projects (vendor-bundled skills from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, cloud providers, dev tools, and content platforms) and Curated Skills (community picks organised by programming, content, product, and other). Featured entries the README highlights include superpowers, frontend-design, archify, baoyu-skills, guizang-ppt-skill, pua, office-hours, marketingskills, and scientific-skills.

The README's section structure covers the full lifecycle: Quick Start, Support Status (which agents work with which skill formats), Standard Structure, Install Skills (with three install paths: directory convention, app-level install, CLI install), Quality Tutorials (official docs, written tutorials, video tutorials), Security Review, and Create Skills (design principles, scripts/resources, testing/evaluation). Compatible agents include Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Gemini CLI, VS Code, OpenCode, Kiro, and JetBrains Junie; the npx skills CLI cited supports 70+ agents in total.

The repository has 5.0k stars, 393 forks, 165 commits on main, 18 open issues, and 78 open pull requests — actively maintained. License is Apache 2.0.

Installation

This is a curated index, not an installable plugin. Clone or browse the README, then follow each entry's link to its upstream repo where the actual install command lives:

git clone https://github.com/libukai/awesome-agent-skills

The README documents the same npx skills CLI used elsewhere:

npx skills find [query]
npx skills add <owner/repo>
npx skills add <owner/repo> --list
npx skills use <owner/repo@skill>
npx skills list
npx skills update [skill-name]
npx skills remove <skill-name>
npx skills init [skill-name]

GitHub CLI variants (gh skill search/preview/install/update/publish) are also listed.

Real Workflow: Find a Skill by Job Category in Chinese

You want a content-creation skill for a Chinese-language writing project — say, drafting WeChat public-account articles with brand voice. The "Curated Skills → Content Creation" section of the list is the fastest starting point.

Step 1. Open the README and jump to 精选技能 (Curated Skills) → 内容创作 (Content Creation). The list has a small number of named entries under that header.

Step 2. Click into any candidate (for example baoyu-skills or one of the others mentioned in the README). Each entry links to its upstream repo with a one-line description.

Step 3. Verify the skill on the upstream side before installing — check the SKILL.md trigger conditions, the last commit date, and the star count. The list's role is curation, not endorsement.

Step 4. From the upstream repo, copy the install command and run it:

npx skills add <owner>/<skill-name>

Step 5. Verify it shows up in your installed list and test it on a real draft before adopting for production use.

Real Workflow: Use the Quality Tutorials Section When You Are New

If you are new to skills, the Quality Tutorials section is the README's pedagogical core — it splits into Official Documentation, Written Tutorials, and Video Tutorials. Use them in that order.

Step 1. Read the "Standard Structure" section (in the README, this maps to the 标准结构 heading) to understand what a SKILL.md is supposed to contain.

Step 2. Then read the "Create Skills" section's design principles sub-section to internalise the project's stance on what makes a good skill.

Step 3. When you are ready to write your own, the Create Skills section's "scripts and resources" and "testing and evaluation" sub-sections tell you what to ship alongside the prompt and how how to measure quality.

Step 4. Before you publish, run the README's Security Review section against your new skill — it lists common failure modes (prompt injection paths, unsafe file operations, network calls that should not be implicit) that the curation team flags on submissions.

Tips

• Use the "few but excellent" rule when adopting — start with one skill per job, not all ~45 at once.
• Read the Standard Structure and Create Skills sections before installing anything if you are new to skills.
• The npx skills CLI works across the 10+ agents the README names; pick the install path that matches your agent rather than copying a generic command.
• Treat the README's translations as a signal of audience, not endorsement — verify on each entry's upstream repo before installing.
• For Chinese-language writing and content workflows, the Curated Skills → Content Creation section is a tighter starting point than scanning English-language indexes.

When Not to Use This

If your team's primary working language is English and you have no need to read Simplified Chinese, use a different awesome-list with English-first organisation (such as heilcheng/awesome-agent-skills or travisvn/awesome-claude-skills). If you already have a specific skill's repo URL, skip the list and install directly. The README is actively maintained but entries drift if upstream repos move or disappear, so always check the upstream README before installing.
