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. 79 404 files from 1 741 authors, of which 61 763 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.

Project Development
by muratcankoylan

This skill should be used for project-level decisions about LLM-powered systems: whether an LLM is the right primitive for the task at hand, the shape of a multi-stage batch or agent pipeline, token and cost estimation, choosing between single-agent and multi-agent at the project level, structured output design for downstream parsing, and structuring agent-assisted iteration. Use this when the unit of work is a whole project or a multi-stage pipeline. Route individual tool design to tool-design and individual skill-loading or context-budget tactics to context-optimization.

Self Improvement Loops
by muratcankoylan

This skill should be used when the harness, scaffold, workflow, or optimizer itself is the optimization target: recursive self-improvement (RSI) loops, meta-harnesses, self-improving harnesses that mine their own failures and propose bounded edits, evolutionary or population-based search over agent scaffolds, acceptance gates for self-modifying systems, and agentic context evolution where the mechanism that produces context is versioned and evolved. Route governance of a single autonomous loop (locked surfaces, durable logs, rollback, novelty gates, approval boundaries) to harness-engineering, measurement and quality-gate design to evaluation, judge design to advanced-evaluation, and remote sandbox infrastructure to hosted-agents.

Tool Design
by muratcankoylan

This skill should be used for the tool-interface layer of an agent system specifically: writing tool descriptions agents can route on, designing tool schemas and response formats, naming conventions, actionable error recovery messages, MCP server design, tool-set consolidation, and deciding when to add or remove an individual tool. Use this when the unit of work is a single tool or a set of tools. Route project-shape, pipeline architecture, and task-model-fit decisions to project-development; route deciding whether to introduce sub-agents to multi-agent-patterns.

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: 11 329 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 79 404 files found on GitHub, 61 763 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: 7 882 skills here share a name with another skill, and two of them cannot sit side by side.
