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. 79 551 files from 1 750 authors, of which 61 898 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.

Agy Delegate
by amElnagdy

>- Delegate a coding task to the Google Antigravity CLI (`agy`) as a background implementer, then review its diff and land it yourself. Use this whenever the user wants to hand implementation work to Antigravity or agy - phrasings like "have Antigravity do X", "delegate this to agy", "run it through agy", or "use Antigravity to implement/fix/refactor" - or wants to run a queue of coding tasks through agy while staying the reviewer. DO NOT USE for tasks small enough to do inline, or when the user wants the code written directly without delegating.

Claude Delegate

>- Delegate a coding task to a separate Claude Code CLI process or another Claude session as an implementer, then review its diff and land it yourself. Use only when the user explicitly asks to delegate implementation to Claude Code, another Claude session, or the `claude` CLI — for example, "have another Claude implement this", "delegate this to Claude Code", or "run this queue through a separate Claude session."

Academic Humanizer
by dongshuyan

>- Draft, audit, or minimally revise English- or Chinese-language academic prose to reduce formulaic, vacuous, mechanically repetitive, or process-leaking language while preserving claims, evidence strength, logical relations, manuscript-wide terminology identity, document-level pattern variation, and scholarly register. Use for papers, abstracts, grants, cover letters, and reviewer responses when the user asks to de-AI, humanize, audit AI-like phrasing, or rewrite text without changing meaning. English is primary; Chinese is supported. Not for detector evasion, policy circumvention, pure translation, non-academic copy, or adding facts, citations, examples, or author experiences that the source does not contain.

Use when the user asks to make a new skill from real run history, extract a reusable workflow from conversation/logs/files, summarize lessons into a new skill, or produce a plan before writing files. Do not use to upgrade an existing skill or to execute the business workflow itself.

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: 11 345 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 79 551 files found on GitHub, 61 898 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.
