构建了包含379万份技能文件的开源数据集，揭示AI代理在GitHub上的实际使用模式。

An agent skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md file with instructions for a language-model agent, optionally accompanied by scripts and reference files. The agent loads the skill when it judges that a task matches the skill description. Anthropic introduced the format in October 2025 as an open specification. Nine months later, we find that skill files in the millions sit in public GitHub repositories. Skills are unlike the artifacts the SE research community usually mines: they are written mainly in natural language, a model selects them probabilistically at run time, and no compiler or type checker verifies the selection. They also have no central registry or package manager, so they spread by copying folders between repositories. How developers write, reuse, and maintain skills is therefore an empirical question, and no existing dataset records this population. We present GitSkills, a dataset of 3,797,117 SKILL.md files collected from 282,200 public repositories in July 2026. The dataset retains every file occurrence with its repository, path, and content hash. It groups identical files into 1,877,981 distinct contents and enriches one representative per group with the full text, parsed front matter, folder contents, repository metadata, and, for a subset, the commit history of the file. A single self- contained SQLite file supports research on the adoption, reuse, structure, authorship, maintenance, and security of agent skills.
