Browse public SKILL.md packages without an account. Find a skill for your task, compare its source and licence, then follow the installation instructions for your agent.

Free Claude skills: common questions

Is this Claude skills catalogue free?

Yes. Searching, browsing categories, reading guides, and opening source links are free and do not require an account. Claude subscriptions, API usage, and external tools have their own pricing.

Are all listed skills open source?

Licences vary by repository and sometimes by individual file. Check the licence shown on the listing and the original package before copying, modifying, or redistributing it. A public GitHub link alone does not establish reuse rights.

Which Claude skills should I try first?

Start with the task you already need to complete: frontend design, React performance, feature discovery, documents, or browser verification. Our best Claude Code skills guide explains seven picks and the requirement for each.

How do I install a Claude Code skill?

For a project, use .claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md. For personal scope, use ~/.claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md. Read the source instructions and copy the supporting files required by that package.

Can I use these skills with Codex or another agent?

Many packages follow the Agent Skills format, but installation paths, tool access, dependencies, and triggers differ between agents. Check the package instructions and your agent’s documentation.

Does “top” mean highest rated?

The shortlist is an editorial selection by task. Popular search sorts by GitHub repository stars, which apply to the whole repository. The catalogue does not publish user review scores.

Sources and catalogue notes

Maintained by Anton Shumeiko. Each listing links to its GitHub source. Read the current package before installing; a catalogue entry can lag behind repository changes.
