Skills library
Browse and import agentic skills that teach agents like Claude Code or Codex new tricks: code review, testing, deployment, and more.
Skills are markdown files that give your AI coding agent specialized behaviors. Type /review and it knows exactly how to review your code. Type /deploy and it follows your deployment playbook, in agents like Claude Code or Codex.
The Skills Library has a growing catalog of ready-made skills organized by category. Browse, preview, and import with one click. Guild members get full access to the library; imported skills are saved to your starter bundles so every new gem can include them.
