Awesome Claude Skills: the 2026 selection
- Reference
- Tooling
Public skills genuinely worth installing: complete packs, single-purpose skills (memory, tokens, marketing), pro design skills, and awesome lists. GitHub data verified 2026-05-11.
TL;DR
- Skills are Claude Code's most powerful reuse layer: a
.mdfolder that injects domain expertise into every session. - 3 families dominate: complete packs (
everything-claude-code,mattpocock/skills), single-purpose skills (cavemanfor tokens,graphifyfor memory,career-opsfor job hunting), and pro design skills (Impeccable, UI UX Pro Max, etc.). - The awesome lists
ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills(59k★) andsickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills(37k★) serve as reference catalogs — bookmark them. - Advice: install 1 pack + 2-3 single-purpose skills targeted at your actual pain points. Not 50 at once.
