Hot skills

Hot Skills

This skill helps you discover trending and hot Agent Skills by aggregating data from multiple sources:

• agentskills.media — GitHub stars and categories
• skills-rank.com — Individual skill ranking scores
• skills.sh — Real install counts (fetched via headless browser from the public leaderboard)

Boundaries and Defaults

Can do: aggregate and de-duplicate data from three public leaderboards; summarize top skills overall or by category; search by keyword; output JSON or human-readable text; force-refresh local cache; filter by category or alias.

Cannot do (without explicit user approval): install or modify any Agent Skill on the user's system; write to files outside the user's chosen --output directory; assume default categories or aliases without confirmation.

Default behavior: read-only — never writes unless --output <dir> is explicitly passed; uses cached data when fresh (<1h old) to avoid rate-limit issues; shows the data source and freshness on each command.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user:

• Asks "现在有什么热门 skill？"
• Wants to find popular skills in a domain: "前端热门 skill"
• Asks "帮我搜一下 xxx 相关的 skill"

How to Use

Run the main script from the skill directory:

node scripts/fetch-trends.js [options]

When this skill is installed via npx skills add, the skill directory is available at .claude/skills/skills-trending/ (or the equivalent for your agent). Adjust the path accordingly.

Options

Option	Description	Example
--top, -n	Number of top skills to show	--top 10
--category, -c	Filter by category	--category frontend
--search, -s	Search by keyword	--search "react testing"
--trending, -t	Show skills.sh 24h trending (Playwright)	--trending --top 10
--refresh, -r	Force refresh data	--refresh
--json, -j	Output JSON	--json

Examples

# Top 20 hot skills overall
node scripts/fetch-trends.js

# Top 10 frontend skills
node scripts/fetch-trends.js --category frontend --top 10

# Search for testing skills
node scripts/fetch-trends.js --search testing

# Force refresh and output JSON
node scripts/fetch-trends.js --refresh --json

# Show skills.sh 24h trending
node scripts/fetch-trends.js --trending --top 10

Output Format

The script outputs markdown tables by default. Present them cleanly to the user.

For each skill, include:

• Name
• Stars (from agentskills.media)
• Installs (from skills-rank.com / skills.sh)
• Hot score (combined ranking)
• Category
• One-line description

Each report ends with a quick install hint. You can install any listed skill with:

npx skills add <Skill>

Replace <Skill> with the value shown in the Skill column (e.g. obra/superpowers@superpowers).

Tips

• If data seems stale, add --refresh.
• Category filtering supports partial matches and aliases (e.g., --category frontend matches "Web Dev" and "UI/UX").
• Use specific keywords when searching: --search "react testing" works better than --search testing.
• The first --refresh may take 30–60 seconds because data is fetched from several upstream sources (including a headless browser pass for skills.sh).
• --trending and the default top-skills fetch both require the Python/Playwright environment for skills.sh data.
