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.

Browser infra for AI agents with an open benchmark proving real-world performance

Notte is a full-stack browser infrastructure platform purpose-built for AI agents, offering instant stateless browser sessions with sub-50ms latency and support for 1,000+ concurrent sessions. Unlike general-purpose browser automation tools, Notte combines deterministic scripting with AI reasoning — agents fall back to LLM-guided navigation only when rule-based paths fail, keeping costs low and speed high. The team also released Browser Arena, an open-source benchmark (open-operator-evals on GitHub) that independently evaluates browser agent performance with full transparency: every run publishes execution logs, screenshots, and reasoning traces. Their own results show Notte outperforming Browser-Use by a significant margin: 79% LLM-verified task success vs. 60.2%, and 47 seconds per task vs. 113 seconds — less than half the time. The benchmark is explicitly designed so other teams can run it against their own agents. SOC 2 Type II certified and currently in public beta with a usage-based pricing model, Notte is aimed at developers building production-grade web agents. The open benchmark initiative is a direct challenge to the inflated self-reported numbers common in the browser automation space.

Reviewer scorecard

Builder
80/100 · ship

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.

80/100 · ship

The open benchmark is the ballsiest move here — publishing your full execution traces so anyone can verify your claims is rare in this space. Sub-50ms session spin-up and 47s task completion vs Browser-Use's 113s are meaningful numbers for production agents where latency compounds. SOC 2 already sorted is a big deal for enterprise deals.

Skeptic
45/100 · skip

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.

45/100 · skip

The benchmark tasks they chose almost certainly favor their architecture — that's how every vendor benchmark works. '79% success' sounds great until you ask what tasks, what websites, and whether those tasks reflect your actual use case. Browser automation reliability degrades fast once you hit sites with aggressive bot detection like LinkedIn or Cloudflare-protected pages.

Futurist

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.

80/100 · ship

Open benchmarks are how maturing ecosystems establish trust — the same way MLPerf did for model inference. If Browser Arena catches on as the standard, it could do for web agents what SWE-bench did for coding agents: create a common scoreboard that drives genuine competition on real-world capability rather than marketing claims.

Creator

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.

80/100 · ship

For anyone trying to automate content research, competitor monitoring, or social listening at scale, reliable browser agents are the missing piece. Notte's hybrid approach — script first, AI fallback — sounds like the right architecture. Looking forward to seeing this mature beyond beta.
