coreyhaines31/marketingskills has four of the seven. vyralcontent/content-skills has two. Six of seven from two authors, the tightest author concentration in any category I have measured.

It is still individual choice rather than a bundle. Those four coreyhaines31 entries run from 185,961 down to 123,206, a 34 percent spread, so people are pulling specific skills out of that repo instead of taking all of it.

The number I keep coming back to is the ceiling. Top marketing skill: 185,961. Top design skill: 776,052, from a category with almost exactly the same number of published skills. Same shelf space, about a quarter of the pull at the top.

I read that as a demand signal rather than a quality one. Marketing people are not short of skills to install. They are short of ones worth keeping, and the curve says most are settling for whichever pack they found first.

Marketing and SEO category, sorted by installs, top seven. Push back on any number here that looks wrong.

The full list: Claude skills for marketing and SEO, ranked by installs.

1. vercel-react-best-practices, 631,348 (vercel-labs/agent-skills)
2. vercel-composition-patterns, 288,538 (vercel-labs/agent-skills)
3. shadcn, 271,674 (shadcn/ui)
4. minimalist-ui, 247,075 (leonxlnx/taste-skill)
5. develop-userscripts, 224,031 (xixu-me/skills)
6. image-to-code, 210,463 (leonxlnx/taste-skill)
7. vercel-react-native-skills, 187,251 (vercel-labs/agent-skills)

Method first, because a ranking is only worth as much as it: every skill filed under Frontend in the Skillselion catalog, sorted by installs, top seven. Nothing hand-picked.

Vercel takes three of the seven. leonxlnx/taste-skill takes two. Five from two authors.

The fair question is whether that is five decisions or two. The gaps answer it. Vercel's three run 631,348, then 288,538, then 187,251, a 70 percent spread inside one repo. If people were installing the repo wholesale those numbers would sit almost on top of each other. They do not, so this is individual choice, and first place really did beat its own sibling by 343,000.

shadcn is the only name here that people were already using before agent skills existed. Everything else was written for agents from the start.

Installs measure adoption, not quality, and nobody publishes uninstall data, ours included. If a number looks off, say so and I will pull it again.
