Google Agent Skills
Google Agent Skills official site ↗Last checked against the official docs:
What it does
Google's official repository of Agent Skills for its products and technologies, mostly Google Cloud. Skills cover topics such as Cloud Run, GKE, BigQuery, Cloud SQL, Spanner, Firebase, Gemini APIs, IAM, Cloud Logging and Monitoring, Google Ads and Google Analytics APIs, plus Well-Architected Framework reviews. A Google Skill Finder skill loads the matching skill from Google's catalog only when a request needs it. The repo also bundles Google product plugins (skills plus MCP servers) for Claude Code and Codex. Skills use the open Agent Skills format. Apache-2.0 licensed.
Who it's for
Developers who use Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI or another skills-capable agent to build on Google Cloud or other Google APIs, and want the agent to follow Google's own guidance.
How to set it up
Install with the open skills CLI (Node.js 22.20 or later). It asks which skills, which agents and whether to install for this project or globally. Add --list to see what's available first:
bashnpx skills add google/skillsTo install a single skill, name it. For example, the Skill Finder, which fetches Google's skill catalog from GitHub when a request needs it and pulls in the matching skill. Add -g to install it for your user instead of the current project:
bashnpx skills add google/skills --skill finding-google-skillsClaude Code plugins (skills plus MCP servers for a product, such as bigquery, cloud-sql-postgresql or google-cloud-developer):
bashclaude plugin marketplace add google/skills claude plugin install bigquery@google-pluginsCodex: run codex plugin marketplace add google/skills, then install from the /plugins browser. Update installed skills later with npx skills update. More Google skill sets live in separate repos, such as android/skills, flutter/skills, dart-lang/skills and googlemaps/agent-skills.

More Rules & Prompts
- Anthropic
Agent Skills (Anthropic)
Anthropic's public repository of Agent Skills: folders with a SKILL.md file (plus optional scripts and resources) that Claude loads when a task needs them. It includes example skills, the document skills behind Claude's file creation, a skill template and a copy of the Agent Skills spec (the open standard lives at agentskills.io). Many skills are Apache-2.0; the document skills are source-available, not open source.
- Agentic AI Foundation (Linux Foundation)
AGENTS.md
A simple open format for giving coding agents project instructions: one AGENTS.md markdown file in your repo with setup commands, test steps and code style. It is now stewarded by the Agentic AI Foundation under the Linux Foundation, and the agents.md site lists many tools that read it, including Codex, Cursor, goose, OpenCode, Aider, Zed, Kilo Code and GitHub Copilot's coding agent. The site and repo are MIT licensed. Claude Code reads it too when a project has no CLAUDE.md.
- Google (Android)
Android Skills
Google's official Agent Skills for Android development: SKILL.md instructions that ground coding agents in current Android guidance for tasks where Google's evaluations show LLMs underperform. Examples include migrating XML views to Jetpack Compose, upgrading to AGP 9, setting up Navigation 3, making an app edge-to-edge, auditing R8 configuration and fixing ANRs. They follow the open Agent Skills standard, so they work with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini/Antigravity and other agents that support skills. Apache-2.0.
- Anthropic
Anthropic Knowledge Work Plugins
Anthropic's open-source set of role plugins built for Claude Cowork that also install in Claude Code. Each plugin bundles slash commands, skills and connector (MCP) settings for one kind of work: sales, finance, data, legal, marketing, customer support, product management, engineering, design, HR, operations, bio research, small business and more. Plugins are plain Markdown and JSON, so you can read and edit them, or fork one as a template for your own team. The repository's marketplace also lists plugins from partners. Apache-2.0.
- Anthropic
Claude Code Plugins (official marketplace)
Anthropic's official plugin marketplace for Claude Code. A plugin bundles skills, subagents, hooks and MCP or LSP servers so you install them in one step. It lists plugins Anthropic maintains (such as commit-commands, code-review, feature-dev and the language-server plugins) alongside plugins from partners and other authors. Claude Code adds this marketplace for you the first time you start an interactive terminal session. The repo is Apache-2.0; each plugin has its own license.
- Cloudflare
Cloudflare Security Audit Skill
An agent skill from Cloudflare that runs a structured security audit of a codebase instead of a one-shot "look for bugs" prompt. It works in phases: map the architecture and keep a coverage ledger, hunt for issues area by area, have a fresh sub-agent try to validate each candidate, write findings as JSON checked against a schema (confirmed, needs validation or rejected), verify each record again, then produce a written report. Cloudflare says it grew out of the internal vulnerability harness described on its blog in June 2026. It is a single skill (security-audit), MIT licensed.
