How it works

How is the weekly top 10 ranked?

50% new GitHub stars of the skill's pack this week, 35% usage on Alyn this week (installs through the Alyn CLI, loads through Alyn MCP, copied install commands, votes and views) and 15% the Alyn Score. One skill per pack, so one big repository cannot take every spot.

When does the list update?

Continuously. Stars sync every night and Alyn usage counts live. Each week's list is saved to the blog so you can look back.

How do I get my skill on the list?

Ship something people use. Installs through npx alyn-cli add, loads through Alyn MCP and votes count the most, and they cannot be bought: every install counts once per person per hour.
