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.

Branch Sync
by microsoft
vendor

> On-demand sync of the upgrade working branch with its source branch (typically main) using merge or rebase. Detects divergence, resolves conflicts using upgrade context (prefer upgraded code in files we changed, prefer source elsewhere), validates with a build, and rolls back on any failure. "branch sync", "catch up with source".

Creating Skills
by microsoft
vendor

> Create, validate, and iteratively improve agent skills that follow Anthropic's best practices. Use this skill whenever someone wants to create a new skill, improve an existing skill, write a SKILL.md, set up a skill directory structure, or needs guidance on skill authoring patterns. Also triggers when users mention "custom instructions", "agent skill", "skill template", or want to codify a workflow into a reusable skill. This skill enforces a create-validate-improve loop that produces production-ready skills passing code review on the first submission.

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.
