Claude Skills

The open format is called Agent Skills and works in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents — most people know it as Claude Skills.

Every Agent Skill we could find on GitHub, deduplicated by content. 79 341 files from 1 736 authors, of which 61 700 are unique — the rest is the same skill repackaged into someone else's repository. For each one: what it weighs in tokens, whether it ships runnable scripts, and which MCP servers it needs.

Coding Standards
by joshuadavidthomas

Use when reviewing code quality, asking whether a refactor or design is good, looking for code smells, or evaluating architecture tradeoffs. Identifies shallow interfaces, invalid state models, unclear boundaries, hidden effects, weak failure contracts, over-mocking, over-abstraction, compatibility glue, and clean-looking code that preserves bad models.

Grug Brained Dev
by joshuadavidthomas

Use when reviewing PRs, simplifying over-engineered code, judging architecture, or renaming unclear concepts — inline fake helpers, delete meatless ceremony, rename lying names, merge over-split files, reject premature abstraction, say no to speculative config/modes/layers, then end with the smallest safe next change. Triggers when code is too fancy, too abstract, too clever, too many files/helpers/layers, or too well-factored but painful to change. Embody Grug brain: complexity very bad, small words, no consultant speak, no hard pivot to opposite dogma.

Claude Skills — questions

Answers built from the skills we actually parsed.

What is a Claude Skill?
A folder with a SKILL.md file: instructions that teach an agent to do one thing well, optionally with scripts and reference files alongside. The format is open and called Agent Skills — Claude Code, Codex and other agents read the same files. It is not a program you run; it is knowledge the agent loads when the task calls for it.
How is a skill different from an MCP server?
A server gives the agent new abilities — it connects to something and exposes tools. A skill gives the agent knowledge: how to use what it already has. They combine, and often literally: 11 328 of the skills here declare which MCP servers they need to work.
Why are there fewer skills here than in other catalogues?
Because we deduplicate by content. Of 79 341 files found on GitHub, 61 700 are unique — the rest is the same skill copied into someone else's repository, word for word. Catalogues that count files rather than skills show every copy as a separate entry.
What does the token count mean?
A skill is loaded into the model's context when it is used, so its size is a running cost on every request that touches it. We measure the whole folder, not just SKILL.md: one official skill is 377 tokens, another drags 83 files of fonts behind it.
How do I install a skill?
Copy the skill folder into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project. The agent picks it up by the name in the SKILL.md header — which is worth checking: 7 879 skills here share a name with another skill, and two of them cannot sit side by side.
