What does the download-anything skill do?
Find and download virtually any digital resource from the internet — ebooks, academic papers, movies, TV shows, music, software, images, fonts, courses, and more. Covers both English and Chinese internet ecosystems. Includes CLI tool workflows (yt-dlp, aria2, gallery-dl, spotdl), resource site directories, cloud drive search engines (百度/阿里/夸克网盘搜索), and search techniques (Google dorks).

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add hAcKlyc/MyAgents --skill download-anything --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From hAcKlyc/MyAgents, a repository with 795 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
