Recommended Skills
Consolidated skills that cover the most common use cases. Each uses progressive reference loading — the skill loads a single entry point and pulls in detailed references only when needed.
| Skill | Install | Description |
|---|---|---|
| build-on-base | npx skills add base/skills --skill build-on-base | Complete Base development playbook: network, contracts, attribution, agent registration, and nodes. Consolidates all individual skills into one. |
| base-mcp | npx skills add base/skills --skill base-mcp | Base MCP server — gives your AI assistant a wallet via mcp.base.org. Sending, swapping, signing, batched calls, balances, and partner plugins for lending, swaps, and more. |
| vibenet | npx skills add base/skills --skill vibenet | Build on vibenet (opens in a new tab), the Base Vibes devnet for native account abstraction (EIP-8130) and Cobalt 200ms native blocks, with viem: smart accounts, batched calls, session keys and policies, ERC-8168 payer gas sponsorship, and millisecond block timestamps. |

Colophon
How this issue was made- Source
- github.com/base/skills, branch
master, last pushed 17 September 2026. - Licence
- MIT — the text of every skill is reproduced unmodified, frontmatter included, under the upstream licence.
- Discovery
- 5 skills found by walking the repository tree for
SKILL.md, not by matching a directory convention. 2 distinct layouts observed:.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md,skills/*/SKILL.md. - Authorship
- 1 of 5 skills are installed into the repository rather than published from it. They are shelved in the closing “Credited skills” part and remain the work of their own authors. A skill counts as credited when its only copy lives under one agent’s dot directory; visible directories, per-agent mirror sets, and skills installable from this repository on skills.sh all count as published.
- Issue colours
- Resolved from a deterministic hash of the owner name. Two accent tones are generated per issue and each is proven against its own ground before it ships: a single accent that passes AA on both light and dark paper is arithmetically impossible.
- Heading repairs
- 1 repair applied to the front matter so the document has one
h1and no skipped levels:- Shifted “6 headings” from h1 to h2 so the skill title is the only h1.
- Spec compliance
- Every skill satisfies the Agent Skills specification’s frontmatter rules.
- Images
- Images inside a skill come from the upstream repository. Where the author gave no alternative text we mark the image decorative rather than inventing a description — a plausible caption we made up is worse than none for the reader who depends on it.
- Signal
- Install counts come from skills.sh. They measure downloads, not quality, and an unranked repository is not an unread one.
- Agent surfaces
- The whole issue is available as one markdown document at
/base/skills.md, and each skill at its own.mdURL. - Publication
- Set by Skills Docs from the source repository. Body text is Literata at the reader’s chosen size and measure; code is Geist Mono. Nothing on this page was written by us except this paragraph.
