Production-tested skills for AI agents. Every skill is security-scanned, tier-rated, and verified. Browse by ecosystem or category below.
50%+ of Fortune 500 developers use AI coding agents weekly. The IDE is now an AI-first interface. Here's why that matters for every engineering team that hasn't made the switch yet.
Every engineering manager celebrating their team AI tool adoption is quietly watching their juniors become dependent on autocomplete. The productivity spike is real. The skill atrophy is worse.
The UK AI Security Institute proved frontier AI can autonomously run end-to-end offensive cyber operations. Here's what that means for every builder working with AI agents today.
HBR argues AI is making teams faster than their managers can keep up. Jeff Gothelf reads Karpathy as declaring vibe coding obsolete and replacing it with product management. The underrated skill of 2026 is still handling conflict well.
Anthropic's Mythos model is forcing the ECB to convene European banks around a frontier AI that writes zero-day exploits on first try 83% of the time. The neocloud market is heading to $400B by 2031. And the Model Context Protocol is going stateless with formal long-running-tasks support.
Anthropic shipped ten finance-agent templates on May 5 — reconciliations, KYC, month-end close, the boring work — and within ten days had PwC committing 30,000 certifications and KPMG wiring Claude into Digital Gateway. Goldman, JPMorgan, Citi, AIG and Visa are already running it. OpenAI answered with its own PwC finance deal a day later. The question for every fintech app is now structural: are you the recipe, or the pantry?
CVE-2026-48172 is a CVSS 10.0 LiteSpeed cPanel flaw being actively exploited — CISA KEV, May 29 deadline. The first public Apple M5 kernel exploit took five days with help from Claude Mythos, bypassing (not breaking) MIE. And the Mini Shai-Hulud worm compromised 160+ npm and PyPI packages by staging throwaway accounts and abusing CI tokens. Default installs are no longer safe.
Cisco's 2026 WAN study says agentic AI will push enterprise traffic from 2.5x to 9x by 2035, with AI inference flows making up 25% of all traffic and lasting 2x longer than web flows. Google Cloud's COO publicly disclosed that attack chains now move from breach to handoff in 22 seconds and that a single Maps API key silently gained Gemini access and drained $10,138 in 30 minutes. Credential brokering is the new minimum for least privilege.
General-purpose AI agents are displacing specialized software at the application layer, with value migrating to data and trust. The new 'AI services' stack is built around Action (orchestration) and long-running task management, with checkpoints, resume, identity propagation and scoped credentials as first-class requirements. Hugging Face has standardized the vocabulary. The 'long-running agent' is the new primitive.
Apple's 20th-anniversary iPhone for 2027 is shaping up to be the biggest industrial-design reset of the decade, with curved glass, under-display Face ID and solid-state buttons. Google Stitch now does real-time vibe design with voice and text, generating 5 UI screens at once on a Gemini-3 infinite canvas. Replit Agent 4 ships Custom Instructions, Skills, a Databricks integration and a Package Firewall that blocks 8,000 malicious packages a day.
SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce confirmed on May 22 that the innovation exemption for onchain stock trading will cover only tokenized NMS stocks — narrow, conservative, real. The tokenized RWA market has crossed $34 billion, up 10x in under two years, with tokenized U.S. Treasurys and gold making up two-thirds. The composability gap is the structural question: most tokenized assets are digital receipts, not DeFi building blocks. AI agents settled $73M across 176M onchain transactions in 12 months.
Microsoft is cancelling most direct Claude Code licences inside its Experiences and Devices group, telling engineers to migrate to GitHub Copilot CLI by 30 June 2026 — the most credible market signal that token-priced AI coding is not yet a sustainable enterprise line item. Uber burned through its entire 2026 AI coding budget in four months. Nolan Lawson's contrarian read: use AI as a senior reviewer, not as an autocomplete, and write high-quality code more slowly. Google's 'Modern Web Guidance' is a free, 100+ use-case developer reference.
Google is pushing AI Mode to a billion users and is now testing ads in AI Mode via the Universal Commerce Protocol — Ulta Beauty is the flagship. LinkedIn has started suppressing low-quality AI-generated content, with a 'low-quality AI' reporting category and behavioral-signal detection catching roughly 94% of obvious AI slop. The 2026 influencer marketing playbook is now 10–25% of total marketing budget, with 50–60% of that going to nano and micro creators, and TikTok the clear focal point.
OpenAI shipped GPT-5.5 Instant to every ChatGPT user on May 5, 2026 — replacing the default model for hundreds of millions of people without anyone noticing. That's the story. Not the benchmarks. The scale.
A collaboration between EAGLE, vLLM, and TorchSpec has produced a speculative decoding algorithm that dramatically accelerates LLM inference. The secret isn't just speed — it's the specific way it manages prediction trees.
Stop paying per-token fees. Here's how to run powerful LLMs on your own hardware in under 10 minutes, with the workflows that actually matter once you're up and running.
DeepSeek's 1M token context window wasn't a benchmark stunt. Here's why the context window war matters more than the model weight race for every builder working with AI agents today.
Every AI agent demo looks incredible. Here's what separates the agents that survive contact with production from the ones that fall apart the moment real users touch them.
Three TLDR Data deep-dives land in the same window: a Snowflake bill cut from $140K to $38K, the case for treating AI risk as architecture not model selection, and five open-source analytics agents that solve very different problems under one label.
Biohub released a fully open 'world model' of protein biology — ESMC, ESMFold2, and ESM Atlas — covering 6.8 billion sequences and 1.1 billion predicted structures. The hit rate on cancer and immunology binder design is 36–88%, with PD-L1 designs already restoring T-cell signaling in lab tests.
Perplexity AI unveiled a hybrid local-cloud inference orchestrator at Computex 2026 that decides in real time which AI workloads stay on your device and which route to the cloud. Nvidia's RTX Spark superchip and Intel's Core Ultra Series 3 are the silicon that makes it real.
CrowdStrike's 2026 Financial Services Threat Landscape Report names Mutant Spider as the most active threat to the sector — its primary technique is voice phishing on Microsoft Teams, convincing employees to reset their own MFA. Separately, Alibaba's Qwen3.7-Max runs agents autonomously for 35 hours and undercuts Claude Opus 4.7 by $20 per million tokens.
Socket's TrapDoor campaign hit npm, PyPI, and Crates.io with 34 malicious packages and 384 versions targeting AI, DeFi, and crypto developers. The npm payload writes .cursorrules and CLAUDE.md files to hijack AI coding agents. Separately, the Laravel-Lang compromise showed that version pinning alone isn't supply-chain defense.
Drew Houston is stepping down as Dropbox CEO after 19 years, with core-business GM Ashraf Alkarmi becoming co-CEO. The same week saw Google open-source Agent Executor for production agent runtimes, Anthropic ship 28 enterprise security integrations for Claude, and a CrowdStrike attribution linking the LA Metro cyberattack to Iranian hackers.
