A crawler finds every new skill
Every 12 hours it sweeps GitHub — topics, SKILL.md files, fresh repos — into our test queue.
- 2
We install it and run it on real work
Real documents, real codebases, live email sends. Verdict + score /10, criteria on the methodology page.
- 3
You copy one command
Every listing has the install command and setup notes. Ten seconds from "found it" to "it works."
