Awesome Agent Skills is a curated repository of over 1,100 agent skills from official development teams and the open-source community, organized for use with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, OpenCode, and more. Maintained by VoltAgent, the collection explicitly rejects AI-generated filler — everything is hand-picked. The library spans every corner of the modern developer stack: frontend frameworks (React, Next.js, Angular, React Native), cloud platforms (Cloudflare Workers, Netlify, Vercel, Google Cloud), databases (PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, MongoDB, Firebase), infrastructure (Terraform, HashiCorp), CMS (Sanity, WordPress), APIs (Stripe, Composio, Firecrawl), AI/ML (Replicate, Gemini, OpenAI), and design (Figma, Remotion). Skills from Stitch, Remotion, and dozens of official vendor teams are included. As agent-native development becomes the default workflow, having the right skills loaded into your agent is as important as having the right VS Code extensions was in 2020. This is becoming the npm registry of agent capabilities — 18k+ stars and still climbing.

DOOM MCP
Play DOOM inline inside Claude or ChatGPT — full game, no browser needed

Chris Nager built a fully playable DOOM that runs as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) app, rendering inline inside Claude and ChatGPT without a separate browser tab. The architecture uses two MCP tools — create_doom_session for inline-capable hosts and get_doom_launch_url as a browser fallback — combined with cloudflare/doom-wasm for the game runtime and a signed token system that maintains session state across both surfaces. The result is the same session whether you're playing inline or in a tab. The key technical challenge was avoiding iframe and CSP (Content Security Policy) issues. Rather than embedding a browser page inside the MCP iframe, the DOOM canvas runs directly inside the host's iframe — a subtle but critical distinction that resolved a class of rendering and input-handling bugs. The final implementation is intentionally stripped down: no save/load, no persistence adapters, just stable playable DOOM. Beyond the novelty, this project is a concrete demonstration that MCP apps are interactive surfaces, not just tool-calling JSON endpoints. The progressive enhancement pattern — same signed-token foundation serving both inline and browser modes — is a reusable architecture for any game or interactive experience that wants to live inside an AI assistant. Nager open-sourced the implementation and the blog post is a detailed technical breakdown.
Reviewer scorecard
“This is the package registry equivalent for agent skills. Instead of hunting across 30 different repos, everything is here and organized. The fact that official vendor teams like Stripe and Cloudflare are contributing their own skills means quality stays high.”
“The signed-token progressive enhancement pattern is the part worth stealing. This is a clean reference architecture for MCP interactive apps, and DOOM just happens to be the demo case.”
“1,100 skills sounds impressive but quantity isn't quality. Keeping skills current as APIs evolve is a massive maintenance burden — today's Stripe skill becomes tomorrow's broken context blob. Absent a strong contributor community, this risks becoming stale fast.”
“Fun proof of concept but let's be honest: if your AI assistant is hosting a DOOM session, something has gone wrong with your productivity. The MCP-as-interactive-surface insight is real, but this specific app has no utility.”
“The aggregation layer for agent tooling will be enormously valuable. Whoever owns the canonical skills registry wins developer distribution the way npm and pip did before — Awesome Agent Skills has first-mover positioning in a winner-take-most market.”
“Every major compute platform's pivot point is when it runs DOOM. MCP running DOOM means MCP is a real platform now. The implications for interactive AI-embedded experiences are significant.”
“Having Figma and Remotion skills officially in here means designers can plug into agentic workflows without translating their tools into developer language. Exactly the kind of cross-discipline thinking that makes agent tooling accessible beyond pure coders.”
“As someone who thinks about interactive experiences, the idea of game-like UI living inside an AI context is genuinely exciting. This is a crude ancestor of what interactive AI-native media could become.”
