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. 79 600 files from 1 763 authors, of which 61 947 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.

Supabase Server
by supabase
vendor

Use when planning or writing server-side code that uses `@supabase/server` — Edge Functions, Hono apps, webhook handlers, or any backend that creates Supabase clients or validates inbound auth. Trigger **before** writing or modifying any file that imports from `@supabase/server` (or sub-paths like `@supabase/server/core`); calls `withSupabase`, `createSupabaseContext`, `createAdminClient`, `createContextClient`, `verifyAuth`, `verifyCredentials`, or `extractCredentials`; configures an `auth:` mode (`'none'` | `'publishable'` | `'secret'` | `'user'`, or keyed variants like `'secret:*'`); or lives under `supabase/functions/` and authenticates an inbound request. Also trigger during planning — if a plan mentions any of the above, load the skill before drafting code; do not extrapolate `auth:` values or auth modes from neighboring functions. Also trigger when you see legacy patterns to migrate to this package — `Deno.serve`, `createClient(Deno.env.get('SUPABASE_URL'))`, imports from `esm.sh/@supabase` or `deno.land/std`, usage of `SUPABASE_ANON_KEY` / `SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY`, or the deprecated `allow:` config option / removed `'always'` / `'public'` mode values / removed `authType` field.

Data2motion Lite
by nolangz

Lightweight, script-driven variant of data2motion for turning data into a smooth, on-brand animated chart (one self-contained HTML) — built for a TEXT-ONLY model that cannot see its own output. You never write HTML/CSS/SVG/animation; you extract the data, pick a chart, fill a small JSON spec, and run one build script that owns 100% of the look and the motion, so the result cannot drift from the house template style or lose its smoothness. Use to turn a number/stat/table/CSV/paragraph into a quick animated chart, data reveal, or KPI when you want guaranteed template fidelity with minimal reasoning and no image feedback.

Lead Research
by tamdogood

> Discovery-scale research harness. A cheap scout maps the topic, the Lead designs topic-specific parallel researcher assignments from the scout's map (drawing on a source-class tactics library — academic, repos, production patterns, web, experts), then verifies claims against sources and writes a decision-oriented report. Use when brainstorming a project or feature, choosing a technology, or asked to "research X", "state of the art", "deep research". For narrow slice-level fact checks inside the build loop, /lead handles those inline.

Code Standards
by tamdogood

>- Apply a disciplined engineering workflow to any code change. Use whenever implementing a feature, fixing a bug, or refactoring — before writing code, not after. Walks orient → baseline → smallest change → test → verify → self-review, and enforces language-agnostic hard gates (don't mass-reformat, keep the linter and type-checker clean, keep the build and tests green, make interface changes additive, protect security invariants).

936 tokens
Make Playbook
by tamdogood

>- The Indie Maker Blueprint. Use when a user is starting or sizing an app idea, choosing what to build next, building a minimal product, preparing a launch, diagnosing stalled growth, deciding pricing or monetization, automating operations, maintaining a per-app MAKE.md tracker, or evaluating whether to sell a product.

Create Marketing Kit
by tamdogood

Create truthful, human-centered marketing campaigns for an app or product, including positioning, channel copy, original artwork, editable layouts, README banners, and selective website integration. Use when asked to make launch materials, promotional artwork, social assets, campaign kits, ads, or marketing content from an existing product; to adapt a visual reference without copying it; or to add approved campaign art to product surfaces. Do not invent claims, fake UI, publish, deploy, or replace product proof without explicit evidence and authorization.

Build Scenario Tests
by tamdogood

Inspect an unfamiliar repository, turn a focused Markdown behavior scenario into a deterministic test in the repository's native test stack, run it, and preserve traceability between intent and code. Use when asked to add scenario tests, compile acceptance criteria or Given/When/Then Markdown into executable tests, reproduce a user-visible regression, or convert a narrow workflow specification into stable web, API, CLI, desktop, or mobile interaction coverage. Do not use for broad exploratory journeys or agent-judged smoke tests.

Lead

Orwell Writing
by tamdogood

Use when an agent is asked to draft, rewrite, edit, review, polish, copyedit, simplify, humanize, or create written prose, including creative writing, essays, posts, scripts, speeches, emails, documentation, product copy, and other style-sensitive text. Apply George Orwell's six rules and ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English as a plain-English discipline while preserving the user's intended meaning, audience, tone, and explicit constraints.

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: 11 352 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 79 600 files found on GitHub, 61 947 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: 7 890 skills here share a name with another skill, and two of them cannot sit side by side.
