2 skillsHow much setup are you willing to do?
This is the practical difference between skills. A prompt-only skill is a file you paste in. An MCP-backed skill needs a server running before it does anything. Both can solve the same problem, so pick the one that fits how much setup you want to take on.
Script Assisted
Ships helper scripts the agent can run. Needs a shell or an interpreter on your machine.
339 skillsPrompt Only
The whole skill is instructions. Paste it in and the agent follows it. Nothing to install.
181 skillsTool Calling
Defines tools the agent calls directly. Works on runtimes that support function calling.
130 skillsMCP Backed
Runs through a Model Context Protocol server, so the agent talks to a live external system.
84 skillsTemplate Pack
Instructions plus reusable files such as boilerplate, checklists, or config templates.
61 skillsEnvironment Required
Needs environment variables or credentials before it will run. Read the setup notes first.
