Questions, answered from the data.
What is the best grant writing skill?
Researchwrite Proposal Pipeline from Yuan1z0825/nature-skills ranks first of the 55 grant writing skills listed here, with the highest score: its repository has 46k GitHub stars, 2 other GitHub owners carry a copy, its SKILL.md loads about 1.1k tokens and it passes the automated safety check with no findings. Next come Scientific Venue Templates and Academic Humanizer.
Which grant writing skills are official?
None yet. All 55 grant writing skills listed here come from community repositories; a skill counts as official when the product's own GitHub organization publishes it.
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.
