## The brief

Vercel’s analysis of skills.sh describes rapid growth in reusable instructions for AI agents, with software engineering leading published listings but demand spread across more kinds of work. Install activity is concentrated among a small share of skills. The report uses aggregate registry counters, which do not represent unique users, and its category findings come from a classified sample rather than the whole catalog.
