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.

Libretto
AI browser automation that doesn't break every other deploy

Libretto is an open-source TypeScript toolkit for building and maintaining browser automations that are actually reliable. Unlike most AI-driven browser tools that use probabilistic reasoning to select elements at runtime, Libretto works by having the AI generate deterministic selectors and action sequences upfront — then executing them with zero LLM involvement at runtime. The AI is your authoring tool, not your runtime dependency. The core insight: most AI browser automations fail in production because they call an LLM on every page interaction. Libretto flips this by using AI to write and update the automation scripts, but running them as ordinary code. When a site changes and your automation breaks, Libretto detects the failure and prompts you to let AI update the selector — then it's deterministic again. Built by the team at Saffron Health, the library hit HN's front page today and is generating discussion as a more pragmatic alternative to fully autonomous browser agents. For anyone who's tried Playwright with AI wrappers and found them unreliable in CI/CD, this is the architecture that's been missing.
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.”
“This is the right mental model for production browser automation. Using AI for authoring but not runtime means you get consistency in CI without random failures at 2am. I've been waiting for someone to build this properly.”
“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.”
“The 'AI updates your selectors' workflow sounds great until you're reviewing 50 AI-generated selector changes after a site redesign. You've just moved the flakiness from runtime to the maintenance loop. Also, 37 stars is very early — I'd wait for production case studies.”
“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.”
“The deterministic-at-runtime pattern will become the standard architecture for AI-assisted automation. Libretto is arriving exactly as enterprises start demanding reliability SLAs from their AI tooling. Early movers will have a significant advantage.”
“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 automates repetitive web tasks constantly, this solves my biggest frustration — AI-written automations that fall apart the moment a site updates their CSS. The auto-repair loop is exactly what I need for long-running workflows.”
