Introducing S8sSkills.dev
An Open Source Repo of popular Serverless Skills!
AI Agents have taken over the tech zeitgeist. Seriously, this PWC survey shows that around 79% of organizations are adopting agents at some capacity. This survey was conducted in May of 2025.
It makse sense. You tell this snippet of code to use AI to do whatever. In a nutshell, that is what an agent is. If you want a more “academic” definition, and agent is a software tool that leverages generative AI to accomplish a set of tasks.
For example, you can create an agent that reads your inbox and gives you a summary of your emails. You could create an agent that uses Hugo to build a personal website for you and then deploy it to Firebase. You can create an agent to help pull information from the internet to help you research for a paper. The possibilities are endless.
Many people actually string together agents to do work, almost like an assembly line. Agent A does research, Agent B, organizes it in a document and so on. Agents can have subagents that help them.
Agents are the future. They may change in time,maybe we call them something different, but the actual function of agents is what the future of tech looks like right now.
And hey, I love Serverless (duh). I honestly think that serverless platforms are the best platforms for agents. I mean, think of what agents are. They are smallish applications that get instruction in markdown format (or via prompt) that do something then “go to bed”. Sounds like serverless doesn’t it? If you are running agents on VMs, you are doing something wrong.
Oh, that smallish instruction written in markdown, ya, that’s called a SKILL. Skills are markdown files that tell the agent how to operate. They are reusable, shareable, durable. They have become an incredibly important part of the Agentic AI revolution.
So, today, I am announcing that I have created “s8sskills.com”.
Wait, what is “s8s” and “s8sskills.com”?
So you know how we say “k8s” instead of “Kubernetes” or “o11y” instead of “Observability”? Ya, same basic idea. We tech nerds love short-handing things so I figured I would create one. “s8s” should be the new shorthand for “serverless”!
But onto the website. I wanted to create an OPEN SOURCE repository of sorts that has a bunch of skills for the various serverless vendors out there. Right now we just have the following:
Google Cloud Run
AWS Lambda
Microsoft Azure (Functions and Container Apps)
Vercel
Cloudflare
Netlify
This isn’t an extensive list and I hope to expand it. The goal is to make it easier for developers to use serverless platforms when developing applications, agentic or not. Since GenAI Agents are going to be a part of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) for the foreseeable future, having serverless skills readily available will help.
If someone wanted to add an agent skill to their repo that deploys code to Cloud Run, all they would have to do is run this in their terminal:
npx skills add 8sskills/gcp --skill cloud-run-deploy
You could do something similar with Lambda
npx skills add s8sskills/aws --skill lambda-deploy
And again, this is OPEN SOURCE! That means I want YOU ALL to help contribute to this. Make it the biggest repository of serverless skills in the world. If you build a skill, submit it!
Star the repo, fork the repo, do it all! Get started by checking the website or the GitHub Repos. If you have questions, feel free to ask!
Now get building!
