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.

Spec-only: rendering, TTS, and publishing stay with the user''s own tools — no pipelines, no upload automation. Not for creator video briefs — use brief-generator; long-form video SEO belongs to content-writer. 短视频脚本/抖音分镜/开头钩子/竖屏9:16

Use when the user asks to "build our social posting calendar", "set weekly slots and queue depth per channel", or "plan the evergreen recycle rotation"; produces the always-on brand calendar — pillar allocation with hero/hub/help balance and give:ask targets (all labeled Estimated starting heuristics to calibrate against own analytics, never scored rules), per-channel recurring slots with queue depth, a batching workflow, an evergreen recycle cycle with freshness re-checks, deliberate open slots for realtime/trend moments fed by trend-spotter go/skip verdicts, and first-comment/publish-order ops — cadence commitments filed to the channel registry, and no batch ships to the queue without a SHIP verdict from social-quality-auditor pre-publish mode. Not for repurposing an existing asset or the paid-amplification calendar — use content-amplifier. 社媒排期/内容日历/栏目配比/常青循环复用

Extends the single pack in place; never forks a second one. Not for picking which channels to run — use channel-portfolio-planner. 平台规范卡/字符限制/折叠线/话题标签/算法侧重/过期标记

Use when the user asks to "codify how our founder sounds", "build a founder voice dossier", or "set our content pillars"; runs an 80%-extraction interview over the user''s OWN posts, emails, and decks (never competitor scraping, never an invented persona) and produces the versioned voice record — a per-platform register map (incl. 小红书/微信公众号), banned phrases, per-context disclosure lines (the ECHO C2 upstream), a few-shot bank built exclusively from own posts, and 3-5 content pillars with Estimated %-allocations — submitted via memory/events/channels.ndjson for channel-registry to store as voice-dossier.md, the record every Craft-phase skill reads first. Not for the brand-level voice canon — use brand-language-codifier; not for audience/persona research — use audience-mapper. 声音档案/品牌语气/创始人语气/内容支柱/披露声明

Use when the user asks to "build our social crisis protocol", "mentions are exploding — what do we do first", or "when do we pause the posting queue"; produces a 1-5 severity ladder with tunable Estimated trigger thresholds (mention-velocity multiples vs the 7-day listening baseline, sentiment flip, journalist/regulator contact, employee-conduct class), the first-mechanical-action rule — pause ALL scheduled posts AND paid amplification, with dated state markers dropped to the channels proposal protocol and reconciled post-incident — a pre-approved holding-statement library with committed update cadences, when-NOT-to-post rules, a spokesperson/approval matrix, and a post-crisis retro template; re-runs the social-quality-auditor pre-publish gate before un-pausing the queue. Not for email deliverability incidents (blocklist, spam-rate spikes) — use deliverability-qa; inside a launch window launch-day-conductor owns incident handling. 社媒危机预案/暂停队列/声明库/发言人矩阵

Social Selling Planner
by aaron-he-zhu

Use when the user asks to "set up my founder social-selling routine", "build a daily engagement block for target accounts", or "turn funding / hiring signals into selling plays"; produces the founder/seller daily operating block — a time-boxed engagement-block spec (substantive value-add comments on target-account posts, never a pitch), warm-touch-before-ask cadence rules, trigger-response plays consuming the social-pulse-monitor B2B trigger watchlist (funding / hiring / launch signals), and a quarterly diagnostic that reads LinkedIn SSI as an input diagnostic only (Estimated, vendor-defined — never a target metric). All volume norms are Estimated/community-derived; all execution is human — zero mass-DM, zero connection-request automation, zero engagement automation (LinkedIn UA §8.2 red line); 1:1 pitch and DM mechanics route to outreach-manager. Not for cold email sequences — use cold-outbound-sequencer. 社交销售/创始人日常互动块/热身触达节奏/触发信号剧本

Dark Social Attributor
by aaron-he-zhu

Use when the user asks to "figure out where our direct traffic really comes from", "measure dark social", "add a how-did-you-hear-about-us field", or "show social drives signups without click data"; produces a share-link/UTM hygiene spec for owned share surfaces, a self-reported attribution field design that replaces an existing form field (free-text first, coded later), a GA4 direct-traffic decomposition read (deep-URL directs, mobile-app skew, private-push correlation) with every derived number hard-labeled Estimated/proxy, and a branded-search-lift proxy from GSC plus Wikipedia pageviews — the declared dark-social method behind ECHO O2. Not for paid-channel attribution reconciliation (platform-claimed vs analytics conversions) — use attribution-reconciler. 暗社交归因/直接流量分解/自报来源字段/分享链路UTM

Share Of Voice Tracker
by aaron-he-zhu

Use when the user asks to "track our share of voice", "what share of the conversation do we own vs competitors", or "trend our SOV this quarter"; computes SOV% = brand mentions ÷ (brand + competitor panel mentions) per platform per period on a LOCKED competitor panel — a panel switch invalidates the trend (restart the series and log the break; the ECHO O3 rule) — plus a sentiment-weighted SOV variant (sentiment labeled Estimated unless human-coded) and a Wikipedia-pageviews attention-share alternative; built from keyless listening connectors, gdelt.py news echo, and user exports — public counts only, closed platforms are never scraped. Not for backlink or offsite SEO signals — use offsite-signal-analyzer. 声量份额/竞品声量对比/提及份额/注意力份额

Social Measurement Loop
by aaron-he-zhu

Use when the user asks to "run the weekly social readout", "which denominator does our engagement rate use", or "which posts won this week and what changes next cycle"; produces the organic-social metric dictionary (every rate names its denominator — ERR engagement-by-reach vs ERI by-impressions vs ER-by-follower — locked across periods), median-not-mean per-post rollups with organic and boosted separated, EMV as labeled exec-translation only (never inside any score), an attributed CHAOSS/Orbit-style community-health readout with employees excluded, and the best/worst-performer write-back the next calendar cycle consumes. Not for dollar-ROI math or the ECHO profile result gate verdict — use roi-calculator and social-quality-auditor. 社媒周报/互动率分母/指标字典/复盘回写

Social Pulse Monitor
by aaron-he-zhu

Use when the user asks to "monitor brand mentions", "set up social listening", "did anything spike about us this week", or "watch these accounts for buying triggers"; runs always-on keyless listening — a versioned listening-query architecture (brand variants incl. misspellings and 中文 names, exclusion terms, per-source syntax for HN Algolia / Bluesky / GDELT / Tavily), a mention sweep with six-class triage (crisis / bug / lead / praise / question / spam) each routed with an SLA, a 7-day rolling baseline with spike flags (the crisis trigger input), a B2B trigger watchlist (funding / hiring / launch signals), and an explicit coverage disclosure where X/IG/TikTok/LinkedIn/小红书 numbers are proxy-labeled, never Measured. Not for launch-window telemetry (T-0→T+30 rank and review polling) — use launch-monitor. 舆情监听/品牌提及监测/基线突刺/触发信号

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.
