# Agent Coach vs GitHub awesome-lists of skills and MCP servers

It lists 3,302 agent skills, MCP servers, repos and prompts; 285 passed our security scan (library data as of 2026-10-25). Awesome-lists such as [ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills](https://github.com/ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills) and [punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers](https://github.com/punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers) are curated markdown lists of links on GitHub.

## When to use which

- Awesome-lists are great for discovery, and Upskill uses lists like these as sources.
- Use **Agent Coach** when an agent should only install scanned items, see each license, and get a keep-or-drop verdict from its own results. 17.8% of third-party items in our index have no clear license ([data](https://upskill.coach/research/agent-skill-security)).
