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.

Terraform Skill
by daymade

> Operational traps for Terraform provisioners, multi-environment isolation, and zero-to-deployment reliability. Use when writing null_resource / remote-exec / local-exec / file provisioners, setting up fresh instances with cloud-init, or any IaC code that SSHs into remote hosts; when creating multi-environment Terraform setups (DNS record duplication, snapshot cross-contamination); or when debugging containers that are Restarting/unhealthy after terraform apply. Also when the user mentions terraform plan/apply errors, provisioner failures, infrastructure drift, TLS certificate errors, Cloudflare credential format, or Caddy/gateway / Caddyfile / compose configuration.

Tunnel Doctor
by daymade

> Diagnoses and fixes Tailscale x proxy/VPN tool conflicts (Shadowrocket, Clash, Surge, OrbStack/Docker) on macOS — route hijacking, proxy env vars, system proxy bypass, SSH ProxyCommand double-tunneling, VM/container proxy propagation, stalled macOS DNS. Use when Tailscale ping works but SSH/HTTP times out, browser returns 503 but curl works, git push fails with "failed to begin relaying via HTTP", Docker pull/build times out behind TUN/VPN, setting up Tailscale SSH to WSL or remote dev over Tailscale, ssh/curl/git hang ~60s resolving a hostname while nslookup is instant, ping to a resolver works but dig times out, ssh -vvv freezes UNKNOWN_CERTIFICATE_VERIFICATION_ERROR, proxy CONNECT 503) while proxied sites work — TUN DIRECT split-brain — or a Windows host TUN (v2rayN) black-holing the whole machine incl. WSL and Tailscale (event-log forensics prove which action fixed it).

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.
