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.

Obsidian Second Brain
by eugeniughelbur

> Operate any Obsidian vault as a living, self-rewriting second brain (an evolution reconcile automatically, scheduled agents maintain the vault while you sleep). Use this skill whenever the user asks Claude to read, write, update, search, or manage their Obsidian vault - including saving notes from conversation, creating daily entries, updating kanban boards, logging dev work, managing people notes, capturing decisions, tracking deals, or maintaining any vault structure. Also triggers when the user wants to bootstrap a new vault from scratch, run a vault health check, or drop a _CLAUDE.md into their vault so all Claude surfaces share the same operating rules. /notebooklm, /youtube, /podcast) for AI-powered research via Grok, Perplexity, NotebookLM, YouTube, and podcast feeds - findings save to the vault automatically following the AI-first vault rule. Use proactively whenever the conversation produces information worth preserving (decisions, people met, projects started, tasks completed, lessons learned, research findings).

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.
