Selection method

How this list is ranked

OpenAgentSkill scores each candidate against the workflow keywords, then balances fit with GitHub stars, quality signals, trust profile, Agent Proven outcome evidence, maintenance freshness, and whether there is a clear install path.

How does OpenAgentSkill rank research agents?

The ranking combines workflow fit, quality score, trust profile, GitHub adoption, maintenance freshness, and whether a clear install path exists.

Should I install the top skill immediately?

No. Treat the list as a shortlist, open the skill detail page, inspect the repository and license, then test the install command in a sandbox workflow.

Can my agent consume this ranking through an API?

Yes. Use /api/skills/search with the related task or /api/agent/rankings?slug=best-research-agents-skills to fetch ranked skill data.
