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.

Foundry Config Setup
by microsoft
vendor

Resolve missing setup caused by a hardcoded Foundry project endpoint or model in a sample. Use when a sample fails because it uses a placeholder/hardcoded project_endpoint (for example "https://your-project.services.ai.azure.com") or a hardcoded model instead of reading them from the environment.

Repro Issue
by mapbox
vendor

Reproduce a public GitHub issue or PR in the Mapbox GL JS repo as a minimal focused debug page under `./debug/`. Trigger when the user pastes a GitHub issue/PR URL (github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/issues/N or /pull/N), or says "repro this issue", "reproduce #N", "make a repro page for", "debug page for issue", "recreate this bug", "build a minimal repro", or provides a bare issue number like `#12345` in the context of investigating a bug. Use this skill whenever the user wants to investigate a bug report, regression, or reported behavior — even if they don't say the word "repro" — since a working debug page is almost always the first step before fixing.

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.
