Claude Skills is a public repository that showcases and serves as a collection of skills — modular, reusable packages of instructions, scripts, and resources that Claude and other compatible agents can dynamically discover and load to extend their capabilities on specialized tasks. Rather than relying on handcrafted prompts every time, Skills teach an AI agent procedural knowledge and task-specific workflows so it can apply that expertise reliably, whether the task involves document creation, data analysis, design generation, or technical automation. Each Skill lives in its own directory with a SKILL.md file containing metadata and instructions, and can include supplemental scripts or assets that the agent uses to perform complex operations when relevant.
