Pros	Open standard with broad adoption across major coding agents (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Gemini CLI, etc.) Progressive disclosure keeps agent context lean while supporting many skills Skills are just folders with a SKILL.md — trivial to author, version, and share via git Write once, run across any skills-compatible client — no per-tool rewrites Backed by Anthropic but governed as an open ecosystem on GitHub	Folders, search, and prompt library that the native ChatGPT UI lacks Bulk export to PDF, Markdown, JSON, and TXT Prompt queue lets you chain sequential prompts unattended Conversation tree map makes branched chats navigable Mature with 100K+ users and active development
Cons	Not a product — you still need a compatible agent to actually run skills Standard is young; conventions and tooling are still evolving No built-in marketplace or discovery beyond what each client provides	Only works with ChatGPT, not Claude or Gemini Breaks occasionally when OpenAI ships UI changes Some advanced features gated behind Pro Browser extension means desktop Chrome/Edge only
