One Million Agent Skills in Seven Months
skills.sh reaches one million agent skills and 280 million installs in seven months.
#Agent Skills#Vercel#Anthropic#Ecosystem#Developers

🔥 What happened
skills.sh hit one million agent skills and nearly 280 million installs in just seven months. Vercel launched the registry three months after Anthropic introduced Agent Skills in October 2025.
💡 Why it matters
GitHub took 27 months to reach a million repos; npm took over nine years. Skills are faster to write than code because they only supply judgment and instructions—the capability already lives in the agent. Just 375 skills (0.04%) capture 62% of all installs.
âš¡ Our take
The skill market is exploding, but it's a winner-takes-most game. Build a standard skill for expense reports or deployment today and you could own the category—or drown in obscurity.
