💡 Summary
A collection of domain-specific instruction sets that extend the capabilities of the Amp AI coding agent.
🎯 Target Audience
🤖 AI Roast: “It's less a marketplace and more a modestly stocked pantry for a single, specific AI butler.”
Skills execute as instructions within the Amp agent's context, posing indirect risks like prompt injection or reliance on external, untrusted repositories (e.g., symlinked skills). Mitigation: Amp should implement strict sandboxing for skill execution and vet all imported external skill content.
Amp Skills
A collection of specialized skills for Amp, the AI coding agent.
What are Skills?
Skills are domain-specific instruction sets that extend Amp's capabilities. When you invoke a skill, it loads detailed workflows, patterns, and techniques into the conversation context.
Available Skills
- ralph - Autonomous feature development (setup and execution)
- agent-browser - Browser automation for testing, form filling, screenshots
- react-best-practices - React/Next.js performance optimization (40+ rules from Vercel) *
- web-design-guidelines - UI/UX audit against 100+ best practices *
* Symlinked from vercel-labs/agent-skills
Usage
Skills are automatically available in Amp. To use one:
Use the direct-response-copy skill to write a landing page for my SaaS product.
Or trigger naturally:
Help me write copy for my landing page.
Amp will load the appropriate skill based on your request.
Adding Skills
Each skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md file with frontmatter:
--- name: my-skill description: "Brief description. Use when... Triggers on: keyword1, keyword2." --- # Skill Title Instructions, workflows, and patterns go here.
