# 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.

62 Skills, ranked by composite score (https://top-agent-skills.com/about/methodology).

## The picks

### 1. hostinger-api-mcp-skills — score 63/100 (verified-org)

The jobs, not the endpoints: migrate a live site, connect the domain, keep WordPress patched.

- Best for: Moving an existing site onto Hostinger and running it afterwards — migration, custom domain with SSL, WordPress updates, and an account-wide health audit.
- Not ideal for: Anyone not on Hostinger, and anyone wanting a reference for the raw API — these skills drive the MCP server toward an outcome; hostinger-agent-skills is the endpoint-level knowledge base.
- Publisher: Hostinger · MIT
- Verified on: claude-code, codex

```bash
npx skills add hostinger/api-mcp-server --skill deploy-to-hosting --yes
```

### 2. firebase-hosting-basics — score 61/100 (verified-org)

Firebase-authored. Init, configure, and one-step deploy to Firebase Hosting / App Hosting.

- Best for: Web apps already in the Google/Firebase ecosystem (Firestore, Auth) that want the agent to handle hosting setup and the deploy step without leaving chat.
- Not ideal for: Static-only sites with no Firebase dependency — a generic static host (Pages, Netlify) is simpler and avoids the Firebase project requirement.
- Publisher: Firebase (Google) · Apache-2.0
- Verified on: claude-code, cursor, codex, gemini-cli, antigravity

```bash
claude plugin marketplace add firebase/agent-skills
```

Full entry: https://top-agent-skills.com/skill/firebase-hosting (https://top-agent-skills.com/skill/firebase-hosting.md)

### 3. playwright-cli — score 60/100 (verified-org)

Microsoft's first-party Playwright skill, invoked through the CLI — the reference implementation for driving a real browser, with no credentials required.

- Best for: Driving a real browser from the agent and working with an existing Playwright suite — navigation, assertions, tracing, video, request mocking, and test generation.
- Not ideal for: Hosted scraping at scale. It drives a local browser, so rate limiting and anti-bot handling are your problem — reach for a hosted extraction skill when the target fights back.
- Publisher: Microsoft · Apache-2.0
- Verified on: claude-code

```bash
playwright-cli install --skills
```

Full entry: https://top-agent-skills.com/skill/playwright-cli (https://top-agent-skills.com/skill/playwright-cli.md)

### 4. stripe-projects — score 59/100 (verified-org)

Provision a Postgres, Redis, auth, or LLM provider through the Stripe Projects catalog rather than signing up by hand.

- Best for: Letting an agent provision and wire up cloud services (DB, cache, auth, email, model providers) with credentials returned inline.
- Not ideal for: Teams that must provision through their own IaC (Terraform, Pulumi) or a locked-down cloud account.
- Publisher: Stripe · MIT
- Verified on: claude-code, cursor, gemini-cli

```bash
/plugin marketplace add stripe/ai
```

Full entry: https://top-agent-skills.com/skill/stripe-projects (https://top-agent-skills.com/skill/stripe-projects.md)

### 5. resend — score 59/100 (verified-org)

Resend's own API skill: send transactional and batch email, handle inbound webhooks, and manage domains, templates, and keys.

- Best for: Wiring Resend into an app — transactional sends, batch sends, inbound webhook handling, and domain/template/key management.
- Not ideal for: Non-Resend providers (SendGrid, Postmark, SES) — the SDK calls and webhook signatures are Resend-specific.
- Publisher: Resend · MIT
- Verified on: claude-code, cursor, codex

```bash
npx skills add resend/resend-skills
```

Full entry: https://top-agent-skills.com/skill/resend-email (https://top-agent-skills.com/skill/resend-email.md)

### 6. agent-email-inbox — score 59/100 (verified-org)

Full entry: https://top-agent-skills.com/skill/agent-email-inbox (https://top-agent-skills.com/skill/agent-email-inbox.md)

### 7. zeabur-agent-skills — score 59/100 (verified-org)

Deploy and register the domain in the same session — Zeabur is its own registrar, so both are one CLI.

Full entry: https://top-agent-skills.com/skill/zeabur-agent-skills (https://top-agent-skills.com/skill/zeabur-agent-skills.md)

### 8. browser — score 58/100 (verified-org)
