Endigest AI Core Summary

This post recaps Skills Night, an event showcasing skills.sh, an open ecosystem for distributing context to AI coding agents, now with 69,000+ skills and 2 million CLI installs.

  • skills.sh originated from Shu Ding documenting React best practices; a CLI was built to install skills into all major coding agents at once (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, etc.)
  • Security partnerships with Gen, Socket, and Snyk address quality variance; Socket reports 95% precision and 98% recall in static analysis combined with LLM-based noise reduction
  • Controlled experiments showed agents produce correct output when given context via skills, but fall back to stale training data without it
  • Expo demonstrated Claude Code using Expo skills to apply native iOS upgrades automatically and auto-fix production crashes in Expo Go
  • Mintlify auto-generates a skill for every documentation site they host; 50% of traffic to those sites now comes from coding agents, up from 10% a year ago
