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. 79 870 files from 1 769 authors, of which 62 217 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.

Shepherd
by apify
vendor

Use when the human asks for a coding task to run through shepherd's human-gated pipeline with durable run files under .shepherd/ instead of direct editing — features, bug fixes, refactors. Invoked on demand: /shepherd <task> starts a run, bare /shepherd resumes the run recorded in .shepherd/_state.json — never auto-invoked for a task that merely looks suitable.

11k tokens
Role Definitions
by microsoft
vendor

Detailed model routing role definitions, decision flowchart, model tier grid, and fallback chain best practices. Load when authoring agents or debugging model routing.

3k tokens
Agora Workbench
by microsoft
vendor

> Drive Agora Workbench MCP servers — any server that exposes an execute_*_code tool — by writing Python that runs inside the server's persistent kernel, where its tools and libraries already live. Activate whenever an execute_*_code tool is connected and the user asks for work that could run there, BEFORE reaching for local shell, standalone scripts, or package installs. The server already has the environment; call its tool instead of rebuilding the capability locally.

5k tokens
Workflow Planning
by microsoft
vendor

> Plan and navigate multi-step domain workflows using the state graph. Activate when a task involves ordered tool dependencies, multiple state transitions, or when unsure which tool to call next in a domain sequence.

632 tokens

625 tokens
Agents SDK
by openai
vendor

Use when the user wants to build, adapt, run, or evaluate an OpenAI Agents SDK app from Cursor. Prefer a docs-first workflow and route API credential decisions through openai-platform-api-key before API-backed work.

361 tokens
Openai Platform API Key
by openai
vendor

Use when Cursor is asked to build, run, test, debug, or configure an OpenAI-backed or provider-unspecified AI app, UI, script, CLI, generator, or tool, especially requests phrased only as "using AI" or generators driven by forms/user input; also use for OPENAI_API_KEY or sk-proj setup. Treat this as the credential gate: inspect safely, ask reuse-vs-new before API work, guide manual local setup when needed, verify presence, and never expose plaintext.

2k tokens
Openai API Troubleshooting
by openai
vendor

Use when an OpenAI API request fails or the user asks what an error means, including blocked access to api.openai.com, 401 invalid_api_key, missing OPENAI_API_KEY, 429 insufficient_quota, 429 rate_limit_exceeded, or 403 model_not_found. Classify the failure, name the next step, route credential setup to openai-platform-api-key, and current guidance to openai-docs.

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: 11 541 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 79 870 files found on GitHub, 62 217 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: 7 935 skills here share a name with another skill, and two of them cannot sit side by side.
