Agent
Skills teach Claude Code a method for a job: a design review, a research report, a launch video, a plan before any code. This page lists the skills that work in Claude Code, how to install them in one command, and where plugins and MCP fit. 61 skills listed: 34 hosted on SkillGild and 27 community skills installed from their repositories.

Publication-quality figures for ML papers: picks the chart type for your results, writes the matplotlib or seaborn code and checks its colors for contrast. Use it to compare methods, baselines or ablations in a chart, to check whether text and figure colors meet a contrast ratio, or to plan an architecture diagram from your method section.

Builds an animation from scratch the way a design engineer would: it chooses the curve, duration and properties, keeps motion off the main thread where it matters, and explains the choice.
MIT license
Translates Apple's interface and motion principles into web code: spring curves, gesture physics, translucent materials and typography, as explained in Apple's WWDC design sessions.
MIT license

MIT license
Write HTML, render video: build HyperFrames compositions with timed clips, seekable GSAP animation, captions, audio and sub-compositions, ready to render to MP4 with the HyperFrames CLI.

Stops the agent from burying the answer. Ten output rules: lead with the next action, number multi-step work, end with one concrete next step, suppress tangents, restate state each turn, give time estimates in minutes, make wins visible, report errors matter-of-factly, cap lists at five, and no prea

MIT license
Turn a feature request into an OpenSpec change before any code is written: proposal, delta specs, design and implementation tasks, grounded in the project's existing specs.
MIT license
General-purpose browser automation for coding agents: the agent writes and runs custom Playwright scripts on the fly, from a single page check to a multi-step flow, with a visible browser by default so you can watch it.
MIT license
The lazy senior developer ruleset: before writing code the agent climbs a decision ladder (is it needed, does something reusable exist, is there a built-in) and only then writes the minimum.
MIT license
Included with SkillGild Pro. Checks the colors in your charts, slides or interface against WCAG contrast ratios with SkillGild's palette validator, and suggests passing alternatives. More premium skills will be added as they launch.

MIT license

MIT license
Anti-slop frontend skill for landing pages, portfolios and redesigns. Reads the brief, picks the right design direction and ships interfaces that do not look templated.
MIT license
The anti-slop frontend skill: a set of SKILL.md files that push an agent toward stronger layout, typography, spacing and motion so generated interfaces stop looking generic.
MIT license
A model-invoked red-green-refactor loop: the agent writes a failing test first, makes it pass with the smallest change, then refactors, and refuses to skip steps.
MIT license
Interactive isometric line illustrations that answer the pointer, touch, the keyboard and live data. Your agent designs the instrument; the engine handles input, themes and accessibility, and it ships as a React component, a web component and a preview page.
Turn your own narration and real assets (book covers, screenshots, logos) plus a chosen visual style into a 20 to 60 second cinematic promo, or turn a script into an animated illustration clip.
MIT license
Anthropic's skill for testing local web apps with a real browser: start the app, drive it with Playwright, capture screenshots and console errors, and report what broke.
Apache-2.0 license
Karpathy's observations on how LLMs fail at coding, codified into four rules the agent follows: think before coding (state assumptions, ask instead of guessing), simplicity first, surgical changes, and goal-driven execution.

A Claude Code skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file, plus optional scripts and references, that Claude loads when a task matches its description. It gives Claude a repeatable method for one kind of job. SkillGild lists hosted skills, which run through its MCP server, and community skills, which install from their public repositories.
Personal skills live in ~/.claude/skills/<skill-name>/ and project skills in .claude/skills/<skill-name>/ inside the repository. skillgild install <slug> --agent claude-code writes to the personal folder; add --target to choose another root.
Install the SkillGild CLI, run skillgild login, register the MCP server with claude mcp add --scope user skillgild -- $(command -v skillgild) mcp, then run skillgild install <slug> --agent claude-code. Community skills are cloned from their repository; hosted skills get a small wrapper and run through MCP.
Community skills are free under their own licenses. Hosted SkillGild skills include free monthly runs; paid skills need a purchase or SkillGild Pro. Your own Claude usage is billed by Anthropic either way.
A skill is instructions for a job. A plugin bundles skills, commands, agents and MCP servers so they install together from a marketplace. An MCP server gives Claude access to a tool or data source. SkillGild's own MCP server serves its hosted skills; its catalog lists plain skills you can install with or without a plugin.
Usually yes. A plain SKILL.md folder follows the open Agent Skills format that Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and other clients read; only the folder location differs. Use --agent codex, cursor or gemini-cli with the SkillGild CLI, or copy the folder to that client's skills directory.
