What is the best software development skill?
React Doctor from makeplane/plane ranks first of the 15,057 software development skills listed here, with the highest score: its repository has 60k GitHub stars, 12 other GitHub owners carry a copy, its SKILL.md loads about 657 tokens and it passes the automated safety check with no findings. Next come Finishing a Development Branch and Typescript Advanced Types.
Which software development skills are official?
1,026 of the 15,057 software development skills are official, published by the vendor's own GitHub organization: React Composition Patterns, Code Design Rationale Investigator, Astro Developer, Claude Code Plugin Structure, Doc Sync and 1,021 more.
How are these skills ranked?
By Skill Navigator score, which combines the GitHub stars of the skill's repository (shared across that repo's skills and discounted for large collections), how many other GitHub owners carry a copy of the skill, and automated SKILL.md quality checks, minus penalties for safety-check warnings and for each further skill from the same repository. Skills that fail the safety check are not listed.
