Awesome Claude Skills
the comprehensive directory. not a link dump — an opinionated guide to what's actually worth installing.
sourced from Anthropic's official repo, ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills, VoltAgent/awesome-agent-skills, obra/superpowers, Trail of Bits, company repos (Vercel, Cloudflare, HashiCorp, Stripe, Expo, etc.), individual GitHub repos, and the vibe coding manifesto.
the most important thing about skills
good tools/skills, not many tools/skills. issues with many tools/skills: context window jumbling → increased confusion. they might think certain tools are to be used but they aren't actually good. — vibe coding manifesto
one developer tested 200+ skills and found most publicly available skills actively hurt performance — adding tokens, latency, and constraints that make output worse. install selectively.
