skills are ranked by anonymous telemetry from running `npx skills add <owner/repo>`
Vercel's skills are popularly installed because we initially launched `npx skills` with the launch of our `react-best-practices`
But have been developing the tool in tandem!

By npm weekly installs (??). Famously good signal for quality.
Edit: Not even npm, their own tools download count...
The UI looks nice, otherwise. I had thought about building something like this - maybe this just increases my confidence that this is needed, just not affiliated with a company.
