What to pick from Best Action-Taking Skills

62 Skills perform real side effects — firebase-hosting deploys, playwright-cli drives a browser, stripe-projects touches payment objects, resend-email sends mail that reaches actual inboxes. Read this page as a risk register as much as a ranking: every entry here can change state outside your machine, most need an API key with real scope, and the ones marked as requiring an MCP server will do nothing at all until that server is configured.
