Skills are reusable instruction sets that extend your coding agent (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) with specific knowledge and workflows.
Where to find them
- skills.sh — Directory of skills. Browse by category and install with the CLI.
- npx skills add — Install from a repo, e.g.
npx skills add vercel-labs/next-skills --skill next-best-practices -a cursor.
What we use on db.fyi
- next-best-practices (Vercel) — Next.js file conventions, RSC, data fetching.
- vercel-react-best-practices — React patterns and composition.
- seo, best-practices, performance (addyosmani/web-quality-skills) — SEO, security, and Core Web Vitals.
Install to your project so the agent follows these rules when editing. Commit the .agents/skills (or equivalent) directory so the team shares the same context.
