# Yao Meta Skill ## When to Use Use when this workflow matches the user request: Create, refactor, evaluate, and package agent skills from workflows, prompts, transcripts, docs, or notes.

Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 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.
