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. 79 566 files from 1 758 authors, of which 61 913 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.

Productive Failure Protocol
by GarethManning

Stage exploration before instruction on complex problems. The learner produces two attempted approaches before consolidation — which builds on those attempts, not from scratch. Use for genuinely hard problems where struggle produces deeper learning.

4k tokens
Progressive Hint Ladder
by GarethManning

Provide graduated assistance from abstract conceptual nudge to concrete procedural step, with reflection required before each escalation. Teaches help-seeking as a skill and prevents direct-answer shortcuts.

4k tokens
Retrieve First Gate
by GarethManning

Before any explanation or answer, require the learner to produce a free-recall attempt and confidence rating. Use when a student wants help understanding or reviewing a topic — this skill ensures the AI works from what the learner already knows.

4k tokens
Srl Session Wrapper
by GarethManning

Wrap a learning session in a plan → monitor → reflect cycle. Use at the start of any substantial study session to set goals, mid-session to check strategy, and at session end to consolidate what changed. Builds self-regulated learning as a habit.

4k tokens
Stuck And Error Diagnosis Coach
by GarethManning

When a learner gets something wrong or feels stuck, require them to diagnose the problem before receiving help. Ensures help targets the actual cognitive breakdown, not just the surface error.

4k tokens
Teach Back Evaluator
by GarethManning

The learner teaches the concept to the AI, which plays a curious novice peer and identifies gaps through authentic questions. Use when the learner wants to test their understanding — teaching forces a different kind of organisation than studying.

4k tokens
Unassisted Evidence Checkpoint
by GarethManning

After scaffolded practice, run an unassisted check — a problem with no AI help. Separates what the learner can do with support from what they can do independently. Critical for preventing phantom attainment.

4k tokens
Transfer Bridge
by GarethManning

After the learner demonstrates understanding of a concept, present near-transfer and far-transfer challenges. Use to test whether learning is portable or task-specific — this is what separates understanding from familiarity.

4k tokens
Weekly Agency Review
by GarethManning

Review the week using accumulated session evidence — retrieval rates, hint depths, calibration accuracy, transfer and unassisted results. The learner identifies patterns and sets a strategy goal. Use weekly or after a multi-session period.

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: 11 350 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 79 566 files found on GitHub, 61 913 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: 7 886 skills here share a name with another skill, and two of them cannot sit side by side.
