Claude Agent Skills
Anthropic’s official public repository of reusable skills, examples and patterns for teaching an agent specialized workflows.
Skills
Who it’s for. People learning the official skill shape before they write a company skill. The example files stay in the repository.
What it is
A useful starting point—not another unexplained bookmark.
Agent Skills package instructions, references and supporting files into reusable capabilities. Anthropic’s repository is where those example folders, the specification and the template live. This page explains the idea. The files stay on GitHub.
Repository

Quick start
How I would use it

Pick one repeated job
Choose a task with a clear trigger and result, such as reviewing a document or preparing a report.
- 02
Study a similar skill
Look at its name, description, instructions and supporting files before designing your own.
- 03
Write a narrow first version
Explain when the skill applies, the required workflow and how the agent should verify completion.
- 04
Test with real requests
Check that the skill activates at the right time and does not take over unrelated tasks.
