This repository contains ready-made skills that teach Claude how to do specific tasks like creating documents, analyzing data, or automating workflows. You can browse the examples to learn how to build your own skills or use them directly in Claude Code, Claude.ai, or the API. The skills are organized into categories like creative, technical, and enterprise use cases.
This repository, maintained by Anthropic, provides a collection of example skills for Claude. Skills are folders containing instructions, scripts, and resources that Claude loads dynamically to improve performance on specialized tasks. The repository includes skills for creative applications (art, music, design), technical tasks (testing web apps, MCP server generation), and enterprise workflows (communications, branding). Each skill is self-contained in its own folder with a SKILL.md file. The repository also includes the Agent Skills specification and a skill template. Many skills are open source under Apache 2.0, while document creation skills (docx, pdf, pptx, xlsx) are source-available. Users can register the repository as a Claude Code Plugin marketplace and install skill sets like document-skills or example-skills directly. The skills are intended for demonstration and educational purposes, illustrating patterns and possibilities for custom skill development.
