Claude Code Skills
Skills are plain SKILL.md files, so every skill in the open registry works in Claude Code. These are the ones Claude Code users reach for most — code review, refactoring, debugging, testing and docs — ordered by install count.
How to install a skill
- 1. Install from the registry. Run the per-skill command shown on each card below from your project root — it writes the skill into your project’s skills directory:
npx skills use "https://github.com/owner/repo" --skill "skill-name" - 2. Or install by hand. Tick the skills you want, download the zip, and put each
SKILL.mdinto.claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md. - 3. Use it. Start a new Claude Code session so it picks up the directory, then ask for the task the skill covers. Type / to see the ones it found.
