Agent skills, MCP & prompting

These are the meta skills: how an agent should plan, how it should guard against prompt injection, how it manages context budget, how tools are designed and evaluated. Loading them makes the agent itself better, not just one task.

One MCP server — mcp.skillzbench.com — serves every skill on this page to any MCP client with a single key.

36 skills · 11 benchmarked with Lift · sorted by measured performance, then Trust.

FAQ

What is an MCP server?

The Model Context Protocol — a standard way for AI agents to call external tools. SkillzBench runs one MCP server that serves every skill you enable, so agents search and load skills on demand.

What is context engineering?

Deciding what lives in the system prompt versus what gets fetched per turn. Several skills here teach the discipline: static rules in, bulky references out, explicit 'not found' behavior.

How do agent skills relate to system prompts?

A skill is a system prompt with a trigger — loaded only when its job shows up. That keeps your base prompt small and each job well-instructed.
