The Vibe Coding Ecosystem Map: Apps × Skills, Subagents & MCP (2026)

A vibe coding app is only half the story. What makes it good at your project is what you plug into it: skills that teach it your workflows, subagents that take on specialist jobs, MCP servers that connect it to your tools, and a rules file that tells it how your repo works.

Four ways to extend an app

🧩69Agent SkillsInstructions + scripts the agent loads only when a task needs them. Cheap on context; one format across many apps. 🤖78Subagents & agentsSpecialists with their own context window, prompt and tool permissions, plus paid agents such as AI code review. 🔌74MCP serversLive tools over the Model Context Protocol: one server works in every MCP-capable app. 📄AGENTS.mdRules & memory filesA Markdown file in your repo with commands and conventions. Free, and the highest-leverage thing you can add.

Compatibility matrix

✓ = the app loads this standard natively. Numbers are listings in this directory that work with the app; they update as new skills, agents and servers are added from GitHub each day.

How we map compatibility

Every app lists the standards it supports, taken from its own documentation. A skill in the open SKILL.md format, or any MCP server, is shown for every app that supports that standard; listings built for one app (a Claude Code plugin, a Cursor rules pack) are shown only for that app. Spot a mistake?
