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. 79 870 files from 1 769 authors, of which 62 217 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.

Advisory layer that pairs with frontend-mockup-loop (which owns the cite-a-source loop plus WCAG gates) but works standalone in any React/Tailwind/HTML project. Triggers: \"does this look AI-generated\", \"anti-slop pass\", \"remove the AI tells\", \"why does this look templated\", \"design review for slop\".

Pre-spec intent extraction — one question at a time until ~95% confidence about what the user actually wants, BEFORE any openspec proposal exists. Use when an ask is underspecified (missing who/why/success/constraint), or on "interview me", "grill me", "stress-test my thinking". Upstream of openspec-explore; writes no specs. Interactive only — never in CI or autonomous loops.

Use on "stress-test this decision", "are we sure about this", "verify before commit", "poke holes in this", when working in unfamiliar code, or before an irreversible step (migration, prod deploy, public API). Runs earlier than code-review, while course-correction is cheap.

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: 11 541 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 79 870 files found on GitHub, 62 217 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: 7 935 skills here share a name with another skill, and two of them cannot sit side by side.
