Claude Skills Market

Claude Skills are modular capabilities that extend Claude Code's functionality. Each skill consists of a SKILL.md file with instructions, plus optional scripts and templates. Skills are model-invoked—Claude automatically decides when to use them based on your request and the skill's description. They're the building blocks of Claude Code plugins and AI automation tools.

Skills can be installed in three ways: 1) Personal skills: Add to ~/.claude/skills/ directory for use across all projects, 2) Project skills: Add to .claude/skills/ directory and commit to git for team sharing, 3) Plugin skills: Install via Claude Code plugins using /plugin commands for one-command installation. Clone the GitHub repository and copy the skill folder (containing SKILL.md) to your chosen directory. Claude automatically discovers and loads skills from these locations.

Skills from this marketplace are sourced from public GitHub repositories. We filter out low-quality repos (minimum 2 stars) and scan for basic quality indicators, but you should always review the code before installing. Official skills from Anthropic undergo rigorous testing and are marked with an 'Official' badge. Community skills should be treated like any open-source code—inspect before use.

Skills marked with the 'Official' badge are created and maintained by Anthropic. Community skills are created by developers worldwide. Always review the code and repository before using any skill.

Yes! Claude Code supports multiple skills simultaneously. Skills are modular and designed to work together. For example, you can combine a 'code-reviewer' skill with a 'git-automation' skill to automatically review and commit code changes. Claude intelligently selects the appropriate skills based on your request context.

Yes! You can create custom Claude skills and share them on GitHub. Check out the skill-creator skill for detailed guidance on creating your own skills. The basic structure requires a SKILL.md file with instructions. You can also add optional scripts, templates, and a marketplace.json for easier distribution.

Skills are model-invoked—Claude automatically decides when to use them based on context. Slash commands are user-invoked—you explicitly type the command to trigger them. Skills enable more intelligent, context-aware automation in your workflows.

Our scraper syncs with GitHub daily to fetch the latest skills and updates. When a skill repository is updated on GitHub, the changes typically appear on SkillsMP within 24 hours. You can see the last update timestamp on each skill card. We recommend checking back regularly for new skills and improvements to existing ones.

marketplace.json is a metadata file that enables one-command installation of skills through Claude Code plugin marketplaces. When present, users can install skills with a simple command like '/plugin install skill-name' instead of manually copying files. Skills with marketplace.json are marked with a special badge on SkillsMP. This file contains information about the skill's name, description, version, and installation instructions.

No, SkillsMP is an independent community project. We aggregate and showcase Claude skills from various sources to make discovery easier. For official skills and authoritative information, always refer to Anthropic's official documentation and repositories.
