trending-skills_skill

Overview

This skill fetches trending rankings from skills.sh and presents current popular skills and tool details. It is optimized for quick ranking lookups and optional deep-dive detail retrieval for a specific skill. Use it when you need the latest popularity snapshot or a concise skill summary.

How this skill works

The skill parses your query to decide between a rankings request and a detail request. For rankings it scrapes skills.sh and returns the Top N list with owner and installs. For details it optionally fetches and formats the skill page, including usage notes and rule lists, if required packages are available.

When to use it

• You want the current Top N trending skills from skills.sh
• You need a compact list of popular tools with installs and owners
• You want a brief overview or rules summary for a specific skill
• You are preparing reports or recommendations based on trending skills
• You need quick verification whether a skill exists on skills.sh

Best practices

• Ask explicitly for "Top 10" or "today's rankings" to get a clear ranking response
• Request a skill detail by name (e.g., "remotion-best-practices是什么") only when extra info is needed
• Ensure Playwright and optional HTML parsers are installed for reliable scraping and details
• Limit frequent automated polling to avoid rate limits or excessive scraping
• Validate skill names against skills.sh if a skill is reported as not found

Example use cases

• Show the Top 10 trending skills for weekly reporting
• Compare installs and owners for a shortlist of popular tools
• Fetch the detail page for a skill to see rules and usage guidance before adoption
• Integrate ranking snapshots into a newsletter or dashboard
• Quickly verify whether a skill is currently trending before recommending it to a team
