The agentic layer, by structure
What a coding agent can be taught and what it can be plugged into — parsed rather than listed. Which instructions everyone writes independently, which tool names are becoming a convention, and which repositories are quietly building a standard library.
Read from the index 2026-09-18This page reads the files themselves: every SKILL.md and every server manifest in the index, parsed. Which names recur, which tools are becoming a convention, which repositories ship the most — the shape of the layer rather than its league table. The league tables are the daily boards: skills by installs and servers by stars and downloads.

One owner means every copy sits under a single account — a file being carried between someone's own projects, not a convention anyone adopted. Adopted means almost every copy has a different owner, which is the only evidence of a real convention this corpus contains.
Tool names converging on a standard
Read off the tool lists of the 6,537 servers that document one, which is 21% of the registry — so these are floors. A name here is one that more than one publisher chose without coordinating.
