🔧 Check Tool Compatibility

Verify the skill works with your preferred AI assistant. Some skills are optimized for Claude, others for ChatGPT, Cursor, or Gemini.

📖 Review Source Quality

Check GitHub stars, author reputation, and last update date. Well-maintained skills with active repos are more reliable.
