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. 86 961 files from 2 125 authors, of which 68 678 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.

Google Cloud Solution Guided Gke AI Migration
by google
vendor

>- Guides the migration of existing AI workloads (Cloud Run, Gemini API, Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform) to self-hosted GKE inference using gcloud and kubectl. Use when the user has an existing AI inference workload (on Cloud Run, the Gemini API, Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, or a custom VM) and wants to move it to self-hosted inference on GKE, or asks follow-up questions during such a migration (hardware sizing, model staging, manifest generation, validation, traffic cutover). DO NOT use for brand new GKE inference deployments with no existing workload to migrate (use gke-inference instead). DO NOT use if the user intends to automate the migration via the Gemini Cloud Assist MCP server.

Ad Graph Dump
by NVIDIA
vendor

> Enable and interpret TensorRT-LLM AutoDeploy FX graph text dumps via AD_DUMP_GRAPHS_DIR. Use when you need before/after graphs per transform, to locate subgraphs, or to confirm a rewrite ran.

vendor

> Check whether AutoDeploy YAML configs were actually applied by analyzing server logs and optionally graph dumps (AD_DUMP_GRAPHS_DIR). Use when the user wants to verify config application, debug config issues, or check if AutoDeploy transforms (piecewise CUDA graph, multi-stream, sharding, fusion, etc.) were applied or fell back. Triggers "config not working", "check if piecewise is enabled", "check log for config", or any request to compare AD YAML settings against runtime behavior.

by NVIDIA
vendor

> Write and implement GPU kernels using NVIDIA CuTe DSL (CUTLASS 4.x Python API) — NOT for Triton, CUDA C++, or conceptual explanations. Trigger only when the user wants to write or implement a kernel, not when asking questions about CuTe DSL concepts or layouts. CuTe DSL uses cute.jit/cute.kernel decorators and cutlass.cute imports. Covers element-wise kernels, GEMM patterns, reductions, memory hierarchy (global/shared/register/TMA), MMA tensor core operations, software pipelining, and framework integration.

Perf Host Analysis
by NVIDIA
vendor

> Analyze host/CPU overhead in TensorRT-LLM inference from nsys traces. Detect whether host overhead is the bottleneck using GPU idle ratio, host prep exposed ratio, and per-phase evidence. For regressions, isolate forward steps via allreduce/NVTX patterns, compare host operation breakdowns across versions, and identify scheduling or request-management overhead. Supports optional inter-kernel gap, eager-vs-graph, pattern mapping, and multi-rank straggler inter-step gap, scheduling overhead, forward step isolation, nsys iteration analysis, NVTX breakdown, request management overhead, GPU idle, host bottleneck, host prep exposed, inter-kernel gap, bubble analysis, graph coverage, eager kernel, rank imbalance, straggler detection.

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: 13 478 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 86 961 files found on GitHub, 68 678 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 in stages. Its name and description stay in the model's context all the time; the body of SKILL.md is read when the skill is used; other files in the folder, such as references, scripts and fonts, are opened only when the skill asks for them. The number we show is SKILL.md, the part every use pays for. A big folder is not a big cost: one official skill ships 83 font files, and none of them ever enters the context.
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: 8 467 skills here share a name with another skill, and two of them cannot sit side by side.
