What developers say
“I pointed my agent at SkillDB and it found a security audit skill that caught 3 issues I would have missed. Saved me hours of manual review.”
Aarav M.
Senior Backend Engineer
“We added the MCP server to our team setup and now every PR gets specialist-level feedback automatically. The React performance skill alone was worth it.”
Lina K.
Engineering Lead, Series A startup
“I was skeptical about yet another dev tool, but SkillDB is different -- it makes the agent smarter instead of adding another layer. Setup took 30 seconds.”
Marcus T.

Sound familiar?
Your AI agent is smart — but not an expert
General-purpose LLMs hit a wall when tasks demand deep, domain-specific knowledge.
“You ask your agent to review a PR for security issues”
It catches obvious bugs but misses OWASP Top 10 patterns, SQL injection edge cases, and auth bypass vectors.
“You need database migrations for a complex schema change”
The agent writes migrations that work in dev but blow up in production — missing rollback plans, locking strategies, and zero-downtime patterns.
“You want your agent to refactor a React codebase”
It restructures code without understanding render performance, hook dependency pitfalls, or established patterns for your stack.
The missing piece isn't intelligence — it's specialist knowledge on demand.
How it works
From task to expertise in milliseconds
Search & Discover
Search thousands of skills with slim previews. Find exactly the expertise your agent needs — code review, debugging, security audits, and more.
Smart Loading
Run skilldb use auto and it detects your project stack — React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL — then activates the right profile and loads matching skills within your context budget.
Agent-Ready
Skills are loaded into .skilldb/active/ and your agent reads them instantly. No API calls at runtime, no context overload — just expert-level knowledge on demand.
