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.

Concurrent Branches
by kajisho5

Resolve conflicts and merges when several branches are open against one repo at the same time — the hotspot files every change must touch (registry manifests, a single version field, shared tool config, one aggregated test module, tracked build output), union-vs-recompute-vs-rebuild as three different correct resolutions, generated artifacts that must never be merged, non-deterministic serialization that makes every branch conflict, renumbered identifiers that git cannot show you, and why a clean auto-merge is not a passing test. Use when rebasing or merging a long-lived branch, resolving conflict markers, reviewing a merge commit, deciding what a repo should commit vs generate, or setting up a repo that will take parallel contributions.

2.8k tokens
Guarding Destructive Operations
by kajisho5

Add and review preconditions on operations that delete, overwrite, rewrite history, or resolve a caller-supplied name to a filesystem path — refusing instead of warning, placing the guard ahead of the first mutation, structural classification rather than string-prefix matching, name validation plus resolved-path containment as two independent checks, why a guard on the destructive path is invisible to the dry-run, and mutation-testing each half separately. Use when writing or reviewing a `--rebuild`/`--reset`/`--purge` command, a bulk delete, a history rewrite, an `rm -rf`-shaped step, or any code that turns an argument into a file path.

2.6k tokens
CI Pipeline Synthesizer

Generate GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline configurations for automated building and testing of library and package projects. Use when creating or updating CI workflows for npm packages, Python packages, Go modules, Rust crates, or other library projects that need automated build and test pipelines. Includes templates for common package ecosystems with best practices for dependency caching, matrix testing, and artifact publishing.

1.1k tokens
Keeping Git Repos Clean
by kajisho5

Prevents, detects, and remediates files that should never be committed — secrets (.env, API tokens, hardcoded credentials) and dev artifacts (build output, scratch databases, editor/OS files). Covers .gitignore (and why it does not untrack), git rm --cached, auditing tracked files, history scrubbing, and credential rotation. Use when a repo has committed secrets or junk, when setting up a new repo's ignore rules, or when reviewing what a repo actually tracks.

2.1k tokens
Writing Defect Reports
by kajisho5

Establish a finding before you publish it, and correct it after — headlines that overstate what actually reproduces at the layer a user sees, reporting code that no entry point can reach or that is already dead, filing a caveat the project's own records already answered, re-verifying your prior notes against the tree instead of against the note, choosing the narrowest injection point that reproduces a failure without breaking the run first, capturing probe output a harness swallows, and withdrawing a published claim in the thread where you published it. Use when filing an issue, writing the body of a PR or code review that asserts a defect, triaging someone else's report, or deciding whether a suspicious observation is reportable at all.

3k tokens
Shipping Across Surfaces
by kajisho5

Land a change everywhere the same fact is stated — enumerating the full surface inventory (landing copy, docs, machine-readable summaries, changelog badges repeated across every page, sitemap, README, descriptions embedded in code, and untyped frontend consumers of typed responses), generating a surface instead of restating it, drift tests where you cannot generate, never hand-maintaining a copy of a surface another codebase owns, shipping a paired PR when you change a format a different codebase decodes, and keeping overloaded product words apart. Use when adding or renaming a user-facing feature, editing product/marketing copy or docs, renaming a serialized response field, changing a serialization or share-link format, wiring one repo's output into another's checks, or reviewing a PR that touched only one place a fact appears.

3k tokens
Shipping Build Artifacts
by kajisho5

Make the build step a real gate on what you actually distribute — build scripts that warn and exit 0 on a missing input, size checks with only an upper bound, hand-maintained file lists that drift from the entrypoints they must cover, committed bundles that go stale when only the source changes, GNU-only shell in release scripts that aborts on the other OS, and verification that runs against the source tree instead of the artifact. Use when writing or reviewing a build/package script, a `dist/` copy step, a release workflow that uploads a zip or installer, or a committed compiled asset.

2.1k tokens
Reviewing Ffmpeg Skill Changes
by kajisho5

Review a change to the ffmpeg-skill repository for the failures its own contract makes possible — a claim in a result document that is true at one layer and false at the layer a caller reads, a new flag that reaches the code but not the contract/docs/demo surfaces, a "bug" that docs/design-decisions.md already decided with a pinning test, a fix with no regression test, a new runtime dependency or a raw ffmpeg shell call that breaks the scope boundary, a SKILL.md line added without one trimmed, a review that re-derives findings from a summary instead of the tree at the reviewed commit. Use when asked to review a PR or diff in this repository, when authoring code here and needing a pre-commit check, or when triaging an external review or audit report about this codebase.

2.3k tokens
Reproducing CI Locally
by kajisho5

Run the CI gate on your machine so it agrees with the runner — deriving the exact command, paths, markers, and env from the workflow file instead of the Makefile, unblocking gate steps that short-circuit and hide the next failure, pinning the linter version CI resolves, building the interpreter/toolchain environment the runner builds, and confirming the run is green instead of explaining a red job away. Use when a check passes locally but fails in CI (or the reverse), when a lint/format job goes red on an untouched file, when setting up a local dev loop for an unfamiliar repo, or before pushing a branch you expect to merge.

2.9k tokens

1.1k tokens
Verifying External Behavior
by kajisho5

Confirms what a third-party library, remote API, build backend, or scraped document actually does before writing code that depends on it — throwaway probes that run in seconds, permissive clients that forward wrong arguments instead of rejecting them, per-endpoint docs that don't generalize, response shapes that make a "fast path" always-false, fakes that encode your assumption rather than the service's behavior, and dry-runs that skip the step that fails. Use when integrating a new dependency or endpoint, writing a tolerated-status or error branch, choosing a client argument name, testing against a fake, or reviewing code that asserts an upstream contract.

2.7k tokens
Building Python MCP Servers
by kajisho5

Builds robust Python MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers with FastMCP — tool design, error contracts, event-loop-safe blocking work, subprocess/CLI wrapping, single-file vs packaged distribution, global-state-free testing, and prompt-injection awareness.

3.2k tokens
Running Github Actions Efficiently
by kajisho5

Cut GitHub Actions minutes and wall-clock time without losing coverage — the OS billing multiplier (macOS 10x / Windows 2x / Linux 1x), trigger hygiene that stops push+pull_request double-firing, concurrency that cancels superseded runs, dependency caching keyed on lockfiles, matrix discipline, and auditing scheduled crons that bill 24/7. Use when CI is burning included minutes, when runs feel slow, when setting up a new repo's workflows, or when reviewing an existing workflow for waste.

3.3k tokens
Ffmpeg Skill
by kajisho5

Edit video and audio with local FFmpeg from natural-language requests: cut, trim, join, resize/reframe (9:16, 1:1), speed change, captions and subtitles (SRT/ASS, animated, karaoke), logos and text overlays, lower-thirds and titles, silence removal, multicam and external-mic sync, loudness normalisation, HDR/Dolby Vision to SDR, LUTs, background music with ducking, platform exports (YouTube, Reels, TikTok, X), compliance checks, scene detection and highlight reels, contact sheets to inspect results, and whole-edit project files. Use this skill whenever the user mentions a video or audio file (mp4, mov, mkv, wav, m4a), footage, a clip, captions, subtitles, a reel or short, YouTube/Instagram/TikTok delivery, LUFS, sync, transcoding, ffmpeg, or asks to make something "60 seconds", "vertical", "louder", "captioned" — even when they do not say "edit".

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.
