Add skills

This guide gets you from following someone to running their skills in your tools. Skillet is built around people: follow the people whose taste you trust, and add the work you want to run. Who stands behind a skill tells you which skills are good; a list sorted by download count won't.

Follow to watch. Add to run. That's the whole model; see Skills and kits for how the two verbs work.

Follow and add

This all happens on skillet.md.

1. Open someone's profile, like skillet.md/@taylor.
2. Click Follow to add them to your feed. It flips to Following.
3. Click Add kit to get all their public skills, or Add to kit on a single skill to get just that one.

To get those skills onto your machine, install the app or CLI once. New skills then arrive as a diff you review before it lands. You decide what runs.

Run them with /skillet

You don't have to remember which skills you've added. In your agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex), type /skillet <task> and Skillet picks the right one for the job and runs it. Your usage stays yours: opt-in, and never your prompt or task. See Privacy.

Your feed

Your feed shows what the people you follow have newly shared. You see good work from people you already trust as they publish it, instead of hunting through the catalog. Find it at skillet.md/feed.

Social proof

Skill and kit pages show trust signals you can read at a glance:

• Added by people you follow: see when people you trust already run something.
• How many people added it: the signal that matters. People choosing to keep something running beats a download count from people who tried it once.

Both answer one question at add time: whose work you trust.

When their skills change

For each kit you add, you choose whether updates wait for your review (the default) or apply on their own for someone you fully trust. See Keeping skills updated.

Share your own

You're following people and their skills run in your tools. The next step is your own work. Publish your best skills and group them into a public kit on your profile, so others can follow you and add it. To keep it private to a team instead, see Teams and shared kits.

Note Adding a kit pulls someone's public skills only. Private skills, your own and your team's, never enter the follow graph.
