review-a-skill
Use when evaluating whether a skill belongs in a library. Preview content, check frontmatter, validate structure, and decide whether to keep, curate, or remove.
npx skills add MoizIbnYousaf/Ai-Agent-Skills --skill review-a-skill --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Review A Skill ## Goal Evaluate a single skill's quality, relevance, and safety before it enters or stays in a library. ## Guardrails - Always use `--format json` for machine-readable output in automated pipelines. - Always use `--fields` to limit output size when inspecting catalog entries. - Always use `--dry-run` before curating or removing a skill. - Never remove a skill without first checking if other skills depend on it via `info --format json` dependencies. ## Workflow 1. Preview the skill content to check for quality and safety. ```bash npx ai-agent-skills preview <skill-name> ``` The preview command sanitizes content — if it flags sanitization, investigate before proceeding. 2. Inspect the catalog entry for metadata completeness. ```bash npx ai-agent-skills info <skill-name> --format json --fields name,description,tags,collections,dependencies ``` 3. Validate the skill's SKILL.md structure. ```bash npx ai-agent-skills validate <skill-name> ``` 4. If the skill needs curation (notes, collections, verification): ```bash npx ai-agent-skills curate <skill-name> --notes "Reviewed: solid patterns" --verify --dry-run npx ai-agent-skills curate <skill-name> --notes "Reviewed: sol

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add MoizIbnYousaf/Ai-Agent-Skills --skill review-a-skill --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 MoizIbnYousaf/Ai-Agent-Skills, a repository with 1,114 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.
