How to Set Up and Use Skill of Skills
Skill of Skills is an autonomous discovery engine that indexes more than 872 AI coding skills, plugins, MCP servers, and agent integrations across platforms including Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, and Cline. It acts as a curated directory with quality scores so developers can quickly find the best tools for their workflow without manually searching dozens of repositories. The project is maintained by the 911fund and browsable at skills.911fund.io with analytics on adoption trends.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or later with npx available
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop or Claude Code
- Optional: Anthropic API key if integrating Claude-powered discovery features
- Git for cloning the repository if running locally
Launch via npx
The fastest way to run Skill of Skills is with npx, which downloads and executes the package without a global install.
npx skill-of-skillsClone and run locally for development

git clone https://github.com/the911fund/skill-of-skills.git
cd skill-of-skills
npm install
npm startSet environment variables
If the server connects to Claude or other LLM backends, provide the appropriate API key in your environment before starting.
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...Add to Claude Desktop configuration
Register the server in your claude_desktop_config.json so Claude Desktop can query the skills index automatically.
{
"mcpServers": {
"skill-of-skills": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["skill-of-skills"],
"env": {
"ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "sk-ant-..."
