Choose skills if…
- License: skills is Apache-2.0, awesome is CC0-1.0.
- Tags unique to skills: agent-skills, embeddings, codex, monitoring.
- Also covers AI Agents, Vector Databases.
When NOT to use skills
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
Choose awesome if…
- License: awesome is CC0-1.0, skills is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to awesome: resources, awesome-list.
- More GitHub stars (484k vs 196) - visibility, not fit.
