academy-guide

Official

anthropics/skills180k

academy-guide

Stop and check this skill before finishing any reply to a question about how to use Claude or a Claude product — it recommends matching courses, tutorials, and use cases from Claude Academy (academy.claude.com), Anthropic's learning hub. Trigger on: "how do I", "how can I", "getting started with", "what can Claude do", "teach me", "learn to use"; questions about artifacts, projects, skills, plugins, connectors, MCP; requests about rolling Claude out to a team, class, or organization; and any ask for training materials, onboarding content, or learning resources. Use it when the user is learning how to use a feature or product — not when they are mid-task and just want the task done. This skill composes with other skills: after consulting product documentation to answer how a Claude feature works, also check here for a matching course or tutorial — a docs-grounded answer and an Academy recommendation belong together. Only recommend on a strong match; never invent Academy content.

algorithmic-art

Official

anthropics/skills180k

algorithmic-art

Creating algorithmic art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive parameter exploration. Use this when users request creating art using code, generative art, algorithmic art, flow fields, or particle systems. Create original algorithmic art rather than copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.

brand-guidelines

Official

anthropics/skills180k

brand-guidelines

Applies Anthropic's official brand colors and typography to any sort of artifact that may benefit from having Anthropic's look-and-feel. Use it when brand colors or style guidelines, visual formatting, or company design standards apply.

internal-comms

Official

anthropics/skills180k

internal-comms

A set of resources to help me write all kinds of internal communications, using the formats that my company likes to use. Claude should use this skill whenever asked to write some sort of internal communications (status reports, leadership updates, 3P updates, company newsletters, FAQs, incident reports, project updates, etc.).

mcp-builder

Official

anthropics/skills180k

mcp-builder

Guide for creating high-quality MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that enable LLMs to interact with external services through well-designed tools. Use when building MCP servers to integrate external APIs or services, whether in Python (FastMCP) or Node/TypeScript (MCP SDK).

template-skill

template-skill

Replace with description of the skill and when Claude should use it.

ponytail-audit

DietrichGebert/ponytail157k

ponytail-audit

Audit the whole repo for over-engineering. A ranked list of what to delete, simplify, or replace with stdlib or native features.

ponytail-audit

DietrichGebert/ponytail157k

ponytail-audit

Whole-repo audit for over-engineering. Like ponytail-review, but scans the entire codebase instead of a diff: a ranked list of what to delete, simplify, or replace with stdlib/native equivalents. Use when the user says "audit this codebase", "audit for over-engineering", "what can I delete from this repo", "find bloat", "ponytail-audit", or "/ponytail-audit". One-shot report, does not apply fixes.

ponytail-debt

DietrichGebert/ponytail157k

ponytail-debt

Harvest every ponytail: shortcut comment into one debt ledger, so deferrals get tracked instead of forgotten. One-shot report.

ponytail-debt

DietrichGebert/ponytail157k

ponytail-debt

Harvest every `ponytail:` comment in the codebase into a debt ledger, so the deliberate shortcuts and deferrals ponytail leaves behind get tracked instead of rotting into "later means never". Use when the user says "ponytail debt", "/ponytail-debt", "what did ponytail defer", "list the shortcuts", "ponytail ledger", or "what did we mark to do later". One-shot report, changes nothing.

ponytail-gain

DietrichGebert/ponytail157k

ponytail-gain

Show ponytail measured impact as a scoreboard: less code, less cost, more speed, from the agentic benchmark averages. One-shot display.

ponytail-gain

DietrichGebert/ponytail157k

ponytail-gain

Show ponytail's measured impact as a compact scoreboard: less code, less cost, more speed, from the agentic benchmark averages. One-shot display, not a persistent mode, and not a per-repo number. Trigger: /ponytail-gain, "ponytail gain", "what does ponytail save", "show ponytail impact", "ponytail scoreboard".

ponytail-help

DietrichGebert/ponytail157k

ponytail-help

Quick reference for ponytail's modes, skills, and commands. One-shot display.

ponytail-help

DietrichGebert/ponytail157k

ponytail-help

Quick-reference card for all ponytail modes, skills, and commands. One-shot display, not a persistent mode. Trigger: /ponytail-help, "ponytail help", "what ponytail commands", "how do I use ponytail".

ponytail-review

DietrichGebert/ponytail157k

ponytail-review

Review a diff for over-engineering. Finds what to delete: reinvented stdlib, needless deps, speculative abstractions. One line per finding.

context-engineering

addyosmani/agent-skills102k

context-engineering

Optimizes agent context setup. Use when starting a new session, when agent output quality degrades, when switching between tasks, or when you need to configure rules files and context for a project.

incremental-implementation

addyosmani/agent-skills102k

incremental-implementation

Delivers changes incrementally in thin, verifiable slices. Use when implementing any feature or change that touches more than one file, or when picking up the next task from a plan. Use when rolling a change out behind a feature flag, when you're about to write a large amount of code at once, or when a task feels too big to land in one step.

planning-and-task-breakdown

addyosmani/agent-skills102k

planning-and-task-breakdown

Breaks work into ordered tasks. Use when you have a spec or clear requirements and need to break work into implementable tasks. Use when a task feels too large to start, when you need to estimate scope, or when parallel work is possible.

source-driven-development

addyosmani/agent-skills102k

source-driven-development

Grounds every implementation decision in official documentation. Use when you want to verify an approach against the official docs before implementing it, or when you want authoritative, source-cited code free from outdated patterns. Use when building with any framework or library where correctness matters.

spec-driven-development

addyosmani/agent-skills102k

spec-driven-development

Creates specs before coding. Use when starting a new project, feature, or significant change and no specification exists yet. Use when drafting a PRD or requirements document with objectives and scope, or when requirements are unclear, ambiguous, or only exist as a vague idea. Use when a single requirement spans several independently testable capabilities and needs decomposing into a capability map of modules before specifying.

using-agent-skills

addyosmani/agent-skills102k

using-agent-skills

Discovers and invokes agent skills. Use when starting a session, or when you need to decide which skill or workflow applies to the piece of work at hand. This is the meta-skill that governs how all other skills are discovered and invoked.

understand-chat

Egonex-AI/Understand-Anything85k

understand-chat

Use when you need to ask questions about a codebase or understand code using a knowledge graph

understand-dashboard

Egonex-AI/Understand-Anything85k

understand-dashboard

Launch the interactive web dashboard to visualize a codebase's knowledge graph

understand-domain

Egonex-AI/Understand-Anything85k

understand-domain

Extract business domain knowledge from a codebase and generate an interactive domain flow graph. Works standalone (lightweight scan) or derives from an existing /understand knowledge graph.
