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. 79 437 files from 1 744 authors, of which 61 785 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.

Agentlas Core Engine Meta Agent
by agentlas-ai

Use when creating a single Agentlas agent, creating a multi-agent team, or packaging an existing local/external agent into Agentlas architecture. Make sure to use this for /meta-agent requests.

385 tokens
Hephaestus Build
by agentlas-ai

Use when the user types /prompts:hep-build, mentions @Hephaestus for build work, asks to create a single Agentlas agent, create a multi-agent team, or package an existing local/external agent into Agentlas architecture.

1k tokens
Hephaestus Cloud
by agentlas-ai

Use when the user types /hep-cloud or asks to find/route to one of THEIR OWN Agentlas cloud packages (보관함, 내 클라우드, 내 보관함, my cloud, my own agents). This is the owner-scoped leg of the three-scope model — it searches ONLY the signed-in user's own cloud packages, not the public marketplace (use hephaestus-network for that) and not local cards. The user's own cloud packages are restorable/owned by them and call-priced at a flat 1 credit.

Hephaestus Network
by agentlas-ai

Use when the user asks OpenClaw to staff a durable goal from Agentlas Hub agents or teams. The active host LLM chooses the exact roster, which remains goal-bound until explicit completion.

718 tokens
Hephaestus Storm
by agentlas-ai

Use when the user types /hep-storm, mentions @Hephaestus storm, or asks to force-robustly drive a loop-worthy goal (apps, sites, agents, automations, debugging, multi-step research, data/report generation) to a verified finish. Stormbreaker routes the goal to real Agentlas specialists, materializes a dependency-ordered pipeline fabric, and runs a verifier-first loop that does not stall, run away, or claim false success. Trivial questions are answered directly, not stormed.

Agentlas Packaging

Agent Context Audit
by AI-Builder-Club

> Audit a repo's agent context — CLAUDE.md files, codebase docs, skills, and tool/MCP designs — against Anthropic's Claude 5 context-engineering guidance loss). Finds overconstraint, conflicting instructions, redundancy, stale facts, and missing "unknown knowns"; produces a scored findings report with concrete rewrites, then applies approved fixes. Use when someone says "audit my CLAUDE.md", "context audit", "unhobble this repo", "review our agent docs/skills/tools", or after upgrading to Claude 5-generation models.

2k tokens
Crabbox Setup
by AI-Builder-Club

> Scaffold an isolated CLOUD dev box per agent (via crabbox + Daytona) for any codebase — the parallel-safe counterpart to dev-local-setup. Each agent gets its own full stack (own DB + dev server) and an in-box browser for e2e, so concurrent loops never collide on ports/state. Sets up the snapshot image, .crabbox.yaml, an idempotent setup.sh (also boots the stack locally), and a cbx.sh wrapper. Use when the user says "set up crabbox", "give each agent its own box", "add cloud testing", "make this repo testable in the cloud / on Daytona", "parallel-test this", or when setup-codebase-harness needs true per-agent isolation.

5k tokens scripts
Dev Local Setup
by AI-Builder-Club

> Scaffold a one-command `dev-local` launcher for ANY codebase. Investigates the repo to find its services, ports, and infra dependencies, then generates a single `scripts/dev-local.sh` (up/down/status/logs/restart) that runs every dev server in one tmux session, plus a short skill doc describing it. Use when someone says "set up dev-local", "make a one-command dev launcher", "I want one script to start this repo", "scaffold dev-local for this project".

3k tokens scripts
E2e Setup
by AI-Builder-Club

> Set up an end-to-end test suite in any repo, following practices that make e2e a auth/session helper, video+trace evidence, and a compounding suite. Use when a repo has no e2e (or weak e2e) and you want system-level tests — "set up e2e", "add end-to-end tests", "scaffold a test gate".

961 tokens
New Loop
by AI-Builder-Club

Spin up a new loop (domain) in a file-based knowledge base — bootstrap the substrate if it's missing, gather the loop's charter, scaffold domains/<loop>/README.md, then do ONE real test run and record it in the loop's Timeline and LOG.md. Use when the user says "set up a new loop", "create a domain", "start a new beat/workstream", or names a recurring job they want the agent to own.

6k tokens
Open Agent Teams
by AI-Builder-Club

Delegate tasks to ANY CLI agent (claude, codex, aider, ...) running in a detached tmux session, with a race-safe done-signal protocol and multi-turn iteration. Use when delegating work to a non-Claude CLI agent, when the user says "tmux delegate", "run agent in tmux", "delegate to codex/aider", or when executor work should run in an observable background terminal instead of the Agent tool.

SEO Growth
by AI-Builder-Club

> site or brand with no rankings and no authority ("cold start", "starting from zero", "nobody knows us"), deciding what to double down on, a page or cluster that ranks but earns nothing, hunting emerging or newly-coined keywords before competitors arrive, "should we build a cluster or one page", "what do we write next", "we get impressions but no clicks", "our traffic plateaued despite publishing", whether to chase a head term at all, or turning any of it into recurring automation. Also use when asked why an SEO effort stalled despite consistent output. NOT for writing an article, keyword expansion mechanics, or auditing a single tactic for penalty risk.

14k tokens
Setup Codebase Harness
by AI-Builder-Club

> Master skill — set up the full agent harness for any repo so an agent can work (one-command dev stack), verifiable (e2e gate + a verify-before-ship loop), plus commit hygiene and entropy control. Use when onboarding a new/unfamiliar codebase to agent-driven development — "set up the harness", "make this repo agent-ready", "harness this codebase".

1k tokens
Verifier Setup
by AI-Builder-Club

> Set a repo up to prove engineering-task work actually works before it ships. Investigates the repo, ensures a one-command dev stack (`dev-local`) exists, asks whether verification runs locally or in a sandbox (crabbox), confirms/installs the committed `/verify` skill (per-task verification SOP — spawn a verifier sub-agent → drive the app → screenshot/video proof → open a PR with the proof embedded), the `/dev-local` skill + script, and the installed driver skill. Use when someone says "set up verification", "make this repo verifiable", "scaffold a verify skill", "set up the verifier".

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: 11 333 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 79 437 files found on GitHub, 61 785 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: 7 884 skills here share a name with another skill, and two of them cannot sit side by side.
