The game is to name a skill to your repository--the best skill takes "origin"! > Success means becoming the public record vibe coders cite when making capability claims. ### How does ranking work?

Right now just me. Truth is, Gaia will exist even without anyone sending their skills. I built this because skills should be attributed to the people who proved them. Permanently, not just until the repo goes private. So that means, its the developers who make skills maintaining this. I have a thorough curation process, and the dev community is evidence on why this works. As long as developers making skills exists, this registry will exist. This is open-source, so feel free to contribute! # The Gaia Skill Tree! <!-- gaia:registry-start --> ```text ◆ mattpocock/skills [5★] ├─ ◇ mattpocock/engineering [4★] │ ├─ ◇ devin-ai/autonomous-swe [3★] │ │ ├─ ○ garrytan/design-html [3★] │ │ ├─ ○ /code-execution │ │ └─ ○ /error-interpretation │ ├─ ○ mattpocock/improve-codebase-architecture [2★] │ ├─ ◇ garrytan/garrytan [4★] │ │ ├─ ○ /plan-decompose │ │ └─ ○ ████████/ask-matt │ ├─ ◇ mattpocock/to-prd [3★] │ │ ├─ ○ garrytan/retro [3★] │ │ └─ ○ /plan-decompose (↑ see above) │ ├─ ○ mattpocock/triage [3★] │ ├─ ◇ mattpocock/ubiquitous-language [3★] ◆ garrytan/gstack [5★] ├─ ○ garrytan/office-hours [3★] ├─ ○ garrytan/benchmark [3★] ├─ ◇ garrytan/plan-eng-review [3★] │ ├─ ○ garrytan/design-html [3★] │ ├─ ○ /diff-content │ └─ ○ garrytan/benchmark [3★] (↑ see above) ├─ ○ pbakaus/impeccable [4★] ├─ ◇ garrytan/garrytan [4★] │ ├─ ○ /plan-decompose │ └─ ○ ████████/ask-matt ├─ ◇ garrytan/design-consultation [3★] │ ├─ ◇ ████████/stagehand │ │ ├─ ○ /web-search │ │ └─ ○ /computer-use (230 skills total — see docs/tree.md) ``` <!-- gaia:registry-end --> ### How Skills Fuse Do a `gaia scan` and `gaia fuse` render in your terminal: ```text mattpocock/grill-me ────────────┐ ├──▶ mattpocock/grill-with-docs ◇ mattpocock/ubiquitous-language ─┘ ``` Basics fuse into Extras; Extras can fuse into Ultimates. Evidence powers each ascent. > [!TIP] > **New here?** The interactive tutorial at **[gaia.tiongson.co](https://gaia.tiongson.co/)** covers everything visually: skill tiers, the stars axis, The Initiate's Rite, and copy-paste commands. --- ## Stars Gaia uses a tiered star system (**0★–6★**) to rank agent capabilities. | Symbol | Tier | Levels | |--------|------|--------| | ○ Basic | Primitive capability | 0★ → 4★ | | ◉ Unique | Mastery without fusion | 4★ → 6★ | | ◇ Extra | Composite workflow | 2★ → 4★ | | ◆ Ultimate | Platform capstone | 5★ → 6★ | ## Evidence 1. **Evidence Type** (provenance: one of 10 canonical types per the G7 Trust Taxonomy RFC `arxiv` `repo` or `repo-own` `github-stars` `github-stars-own` `peer-review` `social-signal` `proxy-containment` `benchmark-result` `verifier-attestation` `fusion-recipe` 2. **Evidence Grade** S | A | B | C | ungraded 4. **Trust Magnitude** This is the evidence grade at the Skill level. > **Detailed Policy:** See [META.md](META.md) for the full evidence methodology, ranking floors, and prestige requirements. > **Public Trust Ledger:** The Trust Ledger ranks every named skill by computed Trust Magnitude — see [`docs/trust/ledger/`](docs/trust/ledger/) (deployed at <https://gaia.tiongson.co/trust/ledger/> once the site rebuilds). --- ## Quickstart **1. CLI <!-- gaia:version-start --> Current Gaia CLI version: `5.6.4`. ```bash curl -fsSL https://gaia.tiongson.co/install.sh | sh ``` npm wrapper alternative: ```bash npm install -g @gaia-registry/cli ``` <!-- gaia:version-end --> <details> <summary>pipx / Windows alternatives</summary> **pipx:** ```bash brew install pipx pipx install gaia-cli ``` **Windows** (PowerShell — curl installer doesn't apply): ```powershell py -m pip install gaia-cli $env:PATH += ";" + (python -c "import sysconfig; print(sysconfig.get_path('scripts', 'nt_user'))") ``` **Full Install (for devs)** (editable install with all extras): ```bash git clone https://github.com/gaia-research/gaia-skill-tree.git cd gaia-skill-tree pip install -e ".[embeddings,dev,docs]" ``` The `dev` extra installs packaging/test tools such as `build` and `pytest`; without it, packaging-specific tests are skipped locally with guidance to install developer extras. </details> **Update** ```bash gaia update ``` **2. Init / Scan** ```bash gaia init ``` ```bash gaia scan ``` Your repo will be scanned for existing skills. Everything will be in `.gaia` folder. **3. Push to this repo!** ```bash gaia push ``` A GitHub issue opens automatically. Don't worry, we thoroughly review every intake. **4. MCP Server** ```bash claude mcp add gaia -- npx @gaia-registry/mcp-server ``` If you wanna be fancy and do all sorts of agentic MCP goodness. --- ## Interactive TUI ```bash gaia ``` Will open all sorts of commands in a nice way. ```bash gaia skills ``` Navigate skills: - **Fuzzy search** by name, description, or intent - **View tree** (`^T`) and **run scan** (`^G`) without leaving the TUI - **Install skills** with one keystroke - Keyboard-native: `↑↓` navigate · `Enter` install · `q` quit --- ## CLI Reference <!-- gaia:cli-start --> ```text usage: gaia [-h] [--registry REGISTRY] [--global] [--version] {help,init,scan,fetch,pull,update,install,uninstall,share,tree,push,propose,version,whoami,login,logout,reset,graph,stats,appraise,promote,fuse,lookup,path,dev,skills} ...

All meta shifts (adding, merging, splitting, adding evidence) must be performed via the [Gaia CLI](src/gaia_cli/). Hand-editing JSON nodes is deprecated to ensure schema integrity and automated timeline logging. --- ## Privacy Gaia does not store personal information. - **Skills are summarised, not stored.** `gaia scan` records capability type, level, and evidence class — never file contents, prompt text, or conversation history. - **Only public repo links.** The registry stores your public GitHub username and a public repo URL when you explicitly submit a named skill. Nothing else. - **Generalised by default.** Skill descriptions capture capability categories, not personal details about you or your agent's behaviour. - **No telemetry.** The CLI and the static website collect zero analytics or usage data.
