Enables discovery and retrieval of skills from GitHub repositories, allowing teams to save and organize skill recommendations.
This server has a remotely hosted endpoint. Open its connector listing for connection details, authentication requirements, and setup instructions:
Useful skills tend to disappear into chats, bookmarks, and personal agent setups. Skills Board gives a team one searchable place to collect them and lets every teammate choose how to use them.
One team library. Save useful skills once, organize them with team-specific tags, and make them easy to find again.
Different agents welcome. Share the same entry across Claude, Codex, Cursor, and other agent setups.
A choice of handoff. Open the original source, copy a compatible install command, or download the latest skill files as a ZIP.
Organization-scoped access. Create a team, invite members, and keep each library available to its members.
Optional MCP access. Connect compatible agents to authenticated, scope-controlled tools for finding and organizing team skills and collections.
A saved skill is a team's own choice, not a security review, compatibility certification, or pinned release. Skills Board reads the latest available source; inspect that source before using it in an agent.

Create a team library and add a skill from its GitHub repository.
Skills Board keeps the original source visible and records the entry for the team.
Teammates search by task, description, repository, or tag.
Each teammate opens the source, copies a compatible command, or downloads the latest files as a ZIP.
The public catalog can help with discovery when the deployment has Vercel OIDC available. The team library and direct GitHub flow remain the core product.

cp .env.example .env.localGenerate a Better Auth secret with openssl rand -base64 32, then add it and your PostgreSQL connection string to .env.local.
Apply the committed Drizzle migrations to a new database. This creates both the Better Auth tables and the application-specific tables from the versioned SQL in drizzle/.
pnpm db:migratepnpm devOpen http://localhost:3000. Restart the server after changing DATABASE_URL, because the PostgreSQL pool is created when the module loads.
Variable | Required | Purpose |
| Yes | PostgreSQL connection string used by the application; Neon may use the pooled URL here. |
| For migrations on Neon | Direct PostgreSQL connection used by Drizzle migrations. It can match |
| Yes | Secret used to sign and encrypt authentication data. |
| Recommended | Public application origin; use |
| Yes for hosted release cleanup | Dedicated random secret used to authenticate the daily expired collection-release cleanup configured in |
| Yes outside development | Sends sign-in OTP and team invitation emails through Resend. |
| Yes outside development | Verified Resend sender for OTP and invitation emails (e.g. |
| No | Raises GitHub API rate limits for metadata and ZIP downloads. |
| No | Supplied automatically by Vercel for the optional skills.sh catalog. |
Sign-in and sign-up use email one-time codes (no passwords). Outside development, configure both RESEND_API_KEY and a domain-verified EMAIL_FROM; the fallback Resend test sender only works for Resend’s own test recipients. In development, OTP emails are skipped and any 6-digit code works. Without Vercel OIDC, the Discover catalog degrades gracefully while team libraries continue to work.
Hosted deployments run the collection-release retention cleanup once per day. Set CRON_SECRET in the Vercel Production environment before deploying; the endpoint fails closed when the secret is absent. Self-hosted deployments can invoke /api/cron/collection-release-retention from their scheduler with Authorization: Bearer <CRON_SECRET>.
Skills Board exposes an OAuth-protected MCP endpoint at /api/mcp. After signing in, open Settings → MCP to connect it. The tools can search team skills and collections, retrieve install commands, and discover public or repository skills. With skills:write, they can save new skills and organize collections. They cannot edit or delete saved team skills, install them in an agent, or execute them.
The full contract lives at skillsboard.sh/developers (Markdown at /developers.md): the public endpoints, the OAuth flow, every tool and the scope it needs, and the versioning, error, and rate-limit conventions the HTTP surface follows. The machine-readable index of all of it is /llms.txt.
This repository is also the marketplace for the official Skills Board plugin. The plugin ships the MCP server configuration above and one skill that explains how to use a team library from an agent. It is not tied to one client: the directory in plugin/ carries an Agent Plugins 1.0.0 manifest, and a Claude Code manifest alongside it. Installing it is an alternative to the manual MCP setup above rather than a step after it.
In Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add TommyBez/skillsboard
/plugin install skills-board@skills-boardIn any client the plugins CLI supports:
npx plugins add TommyBez/skillsboardInstalling the plugin configures the MCP server. Connecting it still requires signing in to Skills Board and approving the requested scopes in the client.

Sharebench — search & pull AI skills, agents, prompts & playbooks (SKILL.md) into any MCP client
Governed AI agent skills — one library, distributed to devs and exposed to remote agents over MCP.
The coordination layer for autonomous agents working on beneficial projects: research, shared knowledge, and tools that help people or agents. Discover public goals, share a workspace, claim leased tasks, exchange handoffs, submit evidence, and review results without a human dispatcher. Agents execute in their own runtimes. Public help; OAuth or an agent key for protected tools. Start the two-agent walkthrough: https://agentsknow.app/docs/getting-started. MCP: https://agentsknow.app/mcp. Skills and examples: https://github.com/stockblog/agentboard-checkpoint (client and instructions, not server source).
