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.

Evo Memory
by BioTender-max

Manages persistent research memory across ideation and experimentation cycles. Maintains two stores: Ideation Memory M_I (feasible/unsuccessful directions) and Experimentation Memory M_E (reusable strategies for data processing, model training, architecture, debugging). Three evolution mechanisms: IDE (after research-ideation), IVE (after experiment failure — classifies failures as implementation vs fundamental), ESE (after experiment success — extracts reusable strategies). Use when: updating memory after completing research-ideation cycles or experiment pipelines, classifying why a method failed (implementation vs fundamental failure), starting a new research cycle needing prior knowledge, user mentions 'update memory', 'classify failure', 'what worked before', 'research history', 'evolution'. Do NOT use for running experiments (use experiment-pipeline), debugging experiment code (use experiment-craft), or generating ideas (use research-ideation).

Evomath Tao
by BioTender-max

Use this skill whenever the user submits a non-trivial mathematical claim that needs a rigorous proof or audit. Trigger on IMO/Putnam/USAMO/Olympiad-style problems, ML/AI theoretical statements, research conjectures, suspected-false claims, multi-step proofs the user already failed on, proof drafts with possible hidden assumptions, or any request containing 'prove rigorously', 'verify this', 'is this true', 'find the gap', 'audit my proof', 'find a counterexample', or 'use EvoMath' that targets a mathematical claim. Activate also when the problem requires more than three reasoning steps. Do NOT use for single-step calculations, definition lookups, textbook exercises with a known recipe, code analysis tasks, literature survey questions, pure symbolic manipulation, or non-mathematical applications of those trigger phrases (e.g., 'is it true that GPT-4 can solve math?', 'verify this LaTeX syntax'); hand those back instead.

4k tokens
Experiment Craft
by BioTender-max

Use this skill when the user wants to debug, diagnose, or systematically iterate on an experiment that already exists, or when they need a structured experiment log for tracking runs, hypotheses, failures, results, and next steps during active research. Apply it to underperforming methods, training that will not converge, regressions after a change, inconsistent results across datasets, aimless experimentation without progress, and questions like 'why doesn't this work?', 'no progress after many attempts', or 'how should I investigate this failure?'. Also use it for setting up practical experiment logging/record-keeping that supports debugging and iteration. Do not use it for designing a brand-new experiment pipeline or full experiment program (use experiment-pipeline), generating research ideas, fixing isolated coding/syntax errors, or writing retrospective summaries into research memory/notes/knowledge bases.

2k tokens
Experiment Iterative Coder
by BioTender-max

Iterative code refinement through plan → code → evaluate → refine cycles. Runs lint checks (ruff), tests (pytest), and structured self-evaluation each cycle, then diagnoses failures and refines. Decomposes complex tasks into sequential phases, iterates up to 3 times per phase (10 total). Use when: the main agent delegates a code task with 'MODE: MORE_EFFORT', the user selects 'More Effort' code generation mode, or the task explicitly requests iterative refinement for higher code quality. Do NOT use for single-pass code generation (Lite mode), experiment pipeline orchestration (use experiment-pipeline), or diagnosing a specific experiment failure (use experiment-craft).

2k tokens
Experiment Pipeline
by BioTender-max

Guides structured 4-stage experiment execution with attempt budgets and gate conditions: Stage 1 initial implementation (reproduce baseline), Stage 2 hyperparameter tuning, Stage 3 proposed method validation, Stage 4 ablation study. Integrates with evo-memory (load prior strategies, trigger IVE/ESE) and experiment-craft (5-step diagnostic on failure). Use when: user has a planned experiment, needs to reproduce baselines, organize experiment workflow, or systematically validate a method. Do NOT use for debugging a specific experiment failure (use experiment-craft) or designing which experiments to run (use paper-planning).

Nano Banana
by BioTender-max

Generate professional presentation slides and high-quality illustrations using Gemini image generation API (Nano Banana 2), with interactive browser-based review and iterative editing. Full workflow: content planning conversation → slides_plan.json → batch image generation → review with feedback → targeted slide editing → PPTX packaging. Use when: user wants to create a presentation, make slides, generate a PPT/PPTX, prepare a talk deck, design visual slide content, or generate high-quality figures/illustrations for papers and documents. Do NOT use for: writing academic papers (use paper-writing) or planning academic conference talk narrative structure (use academic-slides).

Disambiguate ambiguous queries, discover via keyword search / citation traversal / recommendations / arXiv monitoring / trending / GitHub search, evaluate (TLDR, citations, code, SOTA), read using a 3-level strategy, and save PDFs to a local library for offline reuse. Use when finding a specific paper, listing papers on a topic, tracking recent advances, finding a baseline with code, reading or downloading a paper by URL, searching the local PDF library, or collecting a corpus for survey/ideation. Trigger phrases include: find/search papers, related work, citation analysis, latest research, download paper, save paper, my local library. Do NOT use for generating survey reports (use research-survey), generating research ideas (use research-ideation), writing a Related Work section (use paper-writing), comparing/ranking ideas (use research-ideation), or planning paper structure (use paper-planning).

4k tokens
Paper Planning
by BioTender-max

Guides pre-writing planning for academic papers with 4 structured steps: story design (task-challenge-insight-contribution-advantage), experiment planning (comparisons + ablations), figure design (pipeline + teaser), and 4-week timeline management. Includes counterintuitive planning tactics (write a mock rejection letter to identify weaknesses before writing, narrow before broad claims, design ablations first). Use when: user wants to plan a paper before writing, design story/contributions, plan experiments, create figure sketches, set a writing timeline, or write a pre-emptive rejection letter for planning purposes. Do NOT use for actual writing (use paper-writing), running experiments (use experiment-pipeline), self-reviewing a finished draft (use paper-review), or finding research problems (use research-ideation).

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.
