Community Skills

Last verified: 13 February 2026 | Applies to: All plans

In 30 seconds

Skills are simpler than plugins — they’re markdown files with YAML frontmatter that give Claude domain expertise. They work on all plans including Free. This library features operator-created skills you can download and install immediately. Each skill is a single folder with a SKILL.md file you upload via Settings → Capabilities.

These are example entries

These demonstrate the format for community skill submissions. As skills are submitted and reviewed, they’ll replace these examples.

Categories

When submissions arrive, they’ll be organised by:

By function:

4. Select the unzipped folder
5. The skill is now available in your conversations
