Overview
apify/awesome-skills collects community-authored SKILL.md guides that teach AI coding assistants how to use Apify Actors for specific workflows. The guides use the Agent Skills open standard and complement the official Apify-maintained collection in apify/agent-skills.
The collection is useful when an agent needs task-specific direction, such as choosing an Actor, preparing its input, or handling errors. Its skills cover a range of work, including ad research, company and job data, lead generation, e-commerce, and security intelligence.
Key Features
- Offers installable skills through the
skillsCLI. - Organizes each skill as a
SKILL.mdguide. - Follows the Agent Skills specification.
- Includes community contributions across varied Apify Actor workflows.
- Supports selecting an individual skill or previewing available skills during installation.
- Provides contribution and review guidance for skill authors.
Use Cases
- An AI coding assistant user can install a relevant guide when they want help running an Apify-based research or data-collection workflow.
- A developer building an agent workflow can consult a skill for Actor selection, input setup, and error handling.
- A community contributor can package repeatable Apify Actor instructions for others to use and submit them for review.
- A team using multiple coding assistants can share task guidance across agents supported by the skills installer.

Getting Started
Install the collection with:
npx skills add apify/awesome-skills
See the README for agent compatibility, individual-skill selection, prerequisites, and contribution details.
Alternatives
- Awesome Agent Skills: It catalogs skills, MCP servers, Cursor rules, and plugins across ecosystems rather than focusing on Apify Actor workflows.
- awesome-agent-skills: It indexes skills across providers and tasks for multiple coding agents, rather than specializing in Apify Actors.
- awesome-copilot: It collects Copilot-specific agents, instructions, skills, hooks, workflows, and plugins rather than Apify-focused skills.
Considerations
- These are community-contributed guides, not the official Apify-maintained skills; the repository points to apify/agent-skills for those.
- Using Apify workflows generally requires an Apify account and authentication. The Apify CLI is optional.
- Skills describe workflows and Actor usage. The repository does not itself provide the underlying Actors or guarantee that every Actor is free, available, or suitable for a particular task.
