What API reference skills agree on
149 skill files read, by 159 of the 198 authors on this shelf whose files we hold, 2026-09-06
Counted by distinct author, so one author publishing three of these counts once. Where a claim sits in fewer files than authors, that is said: a claim held by forty authors across three files is one file people copied, not forty people who agreed. Near-identical wordings are grouped and the other wordings are shown, so the grouping is yours to check.

How API reference skills are built
389 skill directories by 182 authors, read from their repositories’ own file trees 2026-08-05
The middle bundle among those shipping files is 2 files, 17.3 KB beside SKILL.md
Counted by distinct author, same as above, so one author publishing forty template copies counts once. SKILL.md itself is not counted as a file, so a single-file skill is one where that file is the whole skill.
The shape
- SKILL.md is the whole skill72 of 182 authors, 179 of 389 skills
- files ship beside it110 of 182 authors, 210 of 389 skills
