A public repository of example skills for Claude, demonstrating how to create reusable instructions and resources for specialized tasks.
Adversarial AI bug hunter with auto-fix skill for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, Kiro CLI, Opencode, Pi Coding Agent, and more. Multi-agent pipeline finds security vulnerabilities, logic errors, and runtime bugs — then fixes them autonomously on a safe branch.

Up-to-date code documentation for LLMs and AI code editors, eliminating outdated or hallucinated API references.
This repository provides a set of agent skills that let coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor search the web using Exa's API. Each skill is a simple Python script with no dependencies beyond Python 3.8 and an API key. You can use them for general web search, company research, lead generation, and more.
Exa Skills is a collection of standalone Agent Skills that give any SKILL.md-compatible coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, etc.) first-class access to Exa's semantic search, content fetch, and answer APIs. Each skill calls the Exa REST API through a small, zero-dependency Python script — the only thing you need is an EXA_API_KEY. Unlike MCP servers, these skills require no additional processes or connections; they are portable, inspectable, and work the same whether your agent supports MCP or not. The repository includes skills for general web search, company research, people research, lead generation, research paper search, code context, financial report search, personal site search, and X/Twitter search. Each skill folder contains a SKILL.md file and scripts directory. The base skill (exa-native-base) provides shared client and query-writing utilities. Quick start: clone the repo, set your EXA_API_KEY, and run any skill's script directly. For agent integration, copy the desired skill folder into your agent's skills directory.
