About this skill
What does the shieldcn-badges skill do?

Create polished shieldcn README badges, badge groups, charts, headers, sponsors grids, and full README hero sections. Use when a user wants shadcn/ui-styled badges, Shields.io replacement, npm/GitHub/CI/status badges, download charts, README header banners, contributor/sponsor images, or README Studio guidance.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add jal-co/shieldcn --skill shieldcn-badges --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 jal-co/shieldcn, a repository with 766 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.
