…ide every figure Nobody publishes a census of agent skills. This page collects the partial counts that do exist and adds three we can measure ourselves: the AI crawler split in our own server logs, the Search Console beta report on impressions inside AI answers, and one small site's organic impression series. Every figure lives in lib/seo/agent-skills-adoption/datapoints.ts with the source id and the date it was read, so the monthly refresh is an edit to one file. The page declares its own size and carries a limits section for the five questions it cannot answer.

The documented monthly-refresh workflow updates only datapoints.ts, but this answer independently hardcodes the same values and dates; the description, FAQ, OG copy, source notes, modifiedAt, and public/llms.txt contain further copies. On the first refresh, the tables will show new datapoints while prominent prose and JSON-LD continue publishing the September figures and last-modified date. Build these strings and the page date from the datapoints, or make the refresh contract cover and validate every duplicate.

This conversion drops datapoint.sourceId, so neither the HTML nor Markdown table can identify the source for an individual figure. The later section-level source list is ambiguous when a section contains several datapoints and several sources—for example, the ecosystem section has four figures backed by three primary sources plus two supporting sources—despite the page promising one source beside every figure. Carry the source mapping into each rendered row rather than retaining it only in the unused datapoint record.

Correction pushed (e263deb). The earlier revision published the skills.sh leaderboard number 1,297,018 as a count of skills. It is not one: the all-time leaderboard's own page payload reports |
Rewrite the intro and the answer-first summary so the first sentence is the crawler ratio rather than three negations about what nobody counts. The answer leads with the two contrasts (crawler ratio, impression growth) before the ecosystem counts, all still dated. The first answer note becomes a reading key instead of a second disclaimer; the limits section is unchanged.

…the-numbers The headline question was how adopted agent skills are, and three of the figures answered a different one. The AI crawler ratio, the organic impression series, and the Search Console AI report all measured this site, not the format, so they are removed along with their sources, their method steps, and the copy that leaned on them. What is left is one coherent page of public counts, each re-read at its source on September 2, 2026: 46 products on the client showcase and the 11 whose own documentation states it, 9,704 skills on skills.sh with the eight most installed listed by name and publisher, 19 skills in anthropics/skills at commit 5304866, 15 bundled skills in the Claude Code commands reference, and star counts for the four repositories the format is written against. The install table is new and is the strongest public adoption signal that exists for this format, so the section says plainly what install telemetry misses: private skills, copied folders, and the difference between an install and a use. The route is renamed to match the new title. Nothing was indexed under the old path, so it is removed rather than redirected, and a test asserts no trace of it survives in the app tree, llms.txt, next.config.ts, or the event union.

Cut the three figures that measured this site rather than the format: the AI crawler ratio, the organic impression series, and the Search Console AI report. The title asked how adopted agent skills are, and those answered how much traffic skillsboard.sh gets, which is what made the page read as a pile of unrelated numbers. What replaces them is the per-skill install table from skills.sh, which is the strongest public adoption signal anyone publishes for this format, plus star counts for the four reference repositories and the SEP-2640 status. Every figure was re-read at its source today, September 2, 2026. The route is renamed to /agent-skills-by-the-numbers to match the title. Nothing was indexed under the old path, so it is removed rather than redirected, and a test asserts no trace of it survives. |

Closing without merge, on the founder's call after review. The statistics page tactic needs figures nobody else has, or a compilation nobody else makes. This PR had neither: the proprietary figures (crawler ratio, Search Console series) describe skillsboard.sh, not agent skills adoption, and once they were cut the only adoption figure left was the skills.sh leaderboard, which anyone reads better at the source. The showcase count is a list of self-listed vendors, and stars measure attention. Two things survive the closure: Claude Code now documents 15 bundled skills (13 on August 18), which /anthropic-skills still states as 13; and the AI crawler ratio is material for a build-in-public post, not for a statistics page. The page comes back only if we get data about skills that is ours and large enough to mean something. |

What this is
A single dated compilation of the public counts for agent skills, with the source and the reading date beside every figure. Route:
/agent-skills-by-the-numbers.Every number was re-read at its source on September 2, 2026.
totalSkillsin the skills.sh home page dataSeventeen datapoints in total, all in
lib/seo/agent-skills-by-the-numbers/datapoints.ts.What changed from the first draft
The first draft answered two questions at once. The title asked how adopted agent skills are; three of the figures measured this site rather than the format. Those are gone:
1,297,018that skills.sh prints beside its tab, which is not a skill count and moved to1,297,019between two readingsAdded in their place: the per-skill install table, which is the strongest public adoption signal that exists for this format, plus star counts and the SEP-2640 status.
Hypothesis and metric
Nobody publishes a dated, sourced compilation of these counts. The bet is that being the one page that does makes it the thing an AI answer cites when somebody asks how many agent skills exist or how many products support them.
Metric: first impressions and citations at two to four weeks. Refresh is monthly and is an edit to one typed file, with a test asserting every datapoint renders exactly once and cites a source the page lists.
