1,402 Claude skills · 10 proven

Claude skills, proven before you install.

Claude skills are folders with a SKILL.md file that teach Claude Code how to do one kind of job well: a design system, a testing routine, a deployment checklist. Claude reads the description, decides when the skill applies, and loads the instructions. Anthropic's own skills repository uses the same format. This directory indexes 1,402 of them from public repositories, refreshed weekly, and shows for each proven one what it changed.

Questions

About Claude skills.

What are Claude skills?

Claude skills are folders with a SKILL.md file that teach Claude Code how to do one kind of job well: a design system, a testing routine, a deployment checklist. Claude reads the description, decides when the skill applies, and loads the instructions. Anthropic's own skills repository uses the same format.

How do I install a skill in Claude Code?

Copy the skill folder to .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md in your project, or ~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md for every project. Each skill page here has a one-line install command that does this for you.

How do I use a skill once it is installed?

Type /name at the start of a message, or describe the task and Claude Code loads the skill when its description matches. Skills also work in Claude.ai and the Claude API through the same SKILL.md format.

What does "proven" mean?

A proven skill was run through Claude twice on a fixed brief, once without the skill and once with it, on the same model. Both results are live pages, and the brief, model and skill commit are recorded so anyone can repeat the comparison.

Are these Claude skills free?

Yes. Every skill belongs to its author and links to its source repository with its license. Browsing, installing and the first proof are free; a $99 one-time Pro unlock opens every proof.
