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. 86 961 files from 2 125 authors, of which 68 678 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.

Next Cache Components Optimizer
by vercel
vendor

> Drive a Next.js route to instant navigation by setting up an agentic loop, under Cache Components / PPR, on initial load (hard navigation) and client-side navigation (soft navigation). Encode the goal as a failing @next/playwright instant() e2e and work it to green, one verified route at a time; the shipped test then guards against regression. Use when asked to make a route's navigation instant (its static shell commits immediately), fix a route whose static shell isn't prerendered/served/prefetched, grow a route's static shell or fix its slow first paint, diagnose which Suspense boundary keeps a route out of its static shell, or write the instant() e2e guard for one. Requires Next.js 16.3+ with cacheComponents; directs an upgrade if older.

Powertoys Verification
by microsoft
vendor

Verify PowerToys behavior end-to-end with the winapp CLI across two scenarios: (A) a module's release checklist against the installed build; (B) PR validation — derive each PR's checklist from its description + diff, then drive it against the installed build (a merged/shipped PR, or a whole release/hotfix set) or by building + sideloading the module when the PR isn't in the build yet (unmerged or not-yet-released). Drive each item via UIA invoke / Named Events / settings.json edits / clipboard / GPO / SendInput, and emit a structured PASS / FAIL / BLOCKED verdict per item with evidence (FAIL distinguishes product defects from stale/ambiguous checklist items). Use when asked to verify a module checklist, validate a PR, sign off a release/hotfix's PRs, or QA installed/sideloaded PowerToys bits. Combines generic winapp ui mechanics (references/winapp-ui-testing.md) with PT-specific recipes, per-scenario playbooks (references/scenarios/), and the helper .ps1 files shipped with this skill.

Also trigger for questions about n8n/Make/Zapier integration, Playwright/ Puppeteer/Selenium on cloud infrastructure, or 1Password vault integration. Do NOT use this for the open-source Python library (Agent, Browser, Tools config) — use the open-source skill instead.

X402
by browser-use

Set up Browser Use Cloud payments with x402 — pay per request from a crypto wallet (USDC on Base mainnet), no signup or API key. Two setups it works out up front — "just use it" (set up a wallet so you or Claude Code can run cloud browser tasks paid from the wallet — Claude writes and runs throwaway scripts, nothing touches your codebase) or "build it in" (install the SDK and write the key + code into your project). Walks through wallet setup, funding, .env, and a ~$1 test run. Use when the user asks about x402, pay-per-use, USDC payments, or wants Browser Use Cloud without an API key.

Safe SQL Execution
by supabase
vendor

>- Use whenever code will build, return, fetch, or execute SQL that runs against a user's real Postgres database — even when the request reads like an ordinary feature or bug fix and never says "security," "injection," or builder, or endpoint that builds/returns SQL for database objects (tables, views, functions, DB triggers, indexes, RLS policies); interpolating a schema/table/column/search/route-param value into SQL text; storing, fetching, or re-running SQL that round-trips from the database (a policy's definition, a function/view definition, a snippet's saved content); and any "Run"/"Apply"/"Execute" action that sends SQL to a project's database (SQL editor run-selection, policy editor apply, snippet runner). Load this BEFORE writing such code, not only when reviewing a finished diff. Skip only for changes that never touch SQL text or execution — styling, unrelated data hooks, non-SQL form validation, or UI layout work.

4k tokens
Copywriting
by supabase
vendor

Write or audit UI copy (buttons, labels, empty states, error messages, tooltips, form text) anywhere in the monorepo.

by supabase
vendor

Correct React Hook Form usage anywhere in the monorepo — data flow, subscriptions, reset, dirty state, number inputs, and controlled-input rules. Load this BEFORE writing or modifying ANY form code, adding a field to an existing form, touching watch/useWatch/formState/getValues/setValue/reset, wiring a form into a dialog or sheet, or building a submit/cancel footer — even when the change looks trivial. The codebase contains widespread RHF anti-patterns; without this skill you will copy them. For form layout and which components to use, also load studio-ui-patterns.

3.9k tokens
Clickhouse Logs Queries
by supabase
vendor

>- Write, review, and migrate Supabase logs queries against the ClickHouse-backed `logs` table (the `logs.all.otel` analytics endpoint). Use this whenever a task involves Logs Explorer SQL, the `log_attributes` map, querying a log `source` (edge_logs, postgres_logs, auth_logs, etc.), translating an old BigQuery `cross join unnest(metadata)` logs query to ClickHouse, or wiring analytics log SQL in `apps/studio/data/logs` and `apps/studio/components/interfaces/Settings/Logs`. Reach for it even when the user just says "logs query", "Logs Explorer", or pastes a BigQuery logs query to convert, not only when they name ClickHouse.

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: 13 478 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 86 961 files found on GitHub, 68 678 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 in stages. Its name and description stay in the model's context all the time; the body of SKILL.md is read when the skill is used; other files in the folder, such as references, scripts and fonts, are opened only when the skill asks for them. The number we show is SKILL.md, the part every use pays for. A big folder is not a big cost: one official skill ships 83 font files, and none of them ever enters the context.
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: 8 467 skills here share a name with another skill, and two of them cannot sit side by side.
