10 Fresh GitHub Agent Skills Added in June 2026

Why This List Is Different

GitHub is now full of agent-skill repositories, but many of the most visible projects are not actually individual skills. Some are marketplaces, awesome lists, registry tools, skill managers, or broad catalogs.

For this update, we filtered for three things:

1. Recent GitHub activity in 2026
2. Clear popularity signal from stars
3. No existing match in the DiscoverAISkills catalog by repo URL, slug, name, or strong functional overlap

The result is a compact list of skills that are more useful to add to a directory than another generic collection page.

2. Codebase to Course

What We Excluded

We intentionally excluded marketplace-style and directory-style projects, even when they had high star counts. That includes awesome lists, registry tools, skill managers, generic catalogs, and projects already represented in the catalog under the same or very similar function.

This keeps the catalog focused on usable skills rather than lists of lists.
