What is an AI Agent Skill?

An AI Agent Skill (also known as Claude skills or AI skills) is a reusable capability you can add to an agent to automate tasks like writing, social posting, research, or development workflows.

Think of them as "plugins" for your AI. Browse our Claude skills marketplace to find Claude code templates and open-source GitHub repositories. Most come with a simple one-line installation command.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Skills and MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the underlying standard protocol. Claude skills and AI skills are the actual tools and capabilities built using this standard that you install to give your AI agent new powers.

Are these skills safe to use?

Most Claude code skills listed in our marketplace are open-source, allowing you to review the code. We verify popular skills, but we always recommend reviewing the requested permissions (like file access or internet) before installation.

How are skills added to the directory?

The directory is maintained from public skill sources and repositories, with automated quality and safety checks before skills are released.

Is this service free?

Yes, browsing and discovering skills on AI Agent Skills is completely free. Most Claude code templates and plugins listed are also open-source and free to use.

What is a Claude skills marketplace?

A Claude skills marketplace is a platform where developers share and discover AI skills, Claude code templates, and plugins. AI Agent Skills focuses on curated, released skills for Claude Code, Codex CLI, and other AI agents.

How do I find Claude code templates?

Use our search feature or browse by category to find Claude code templates. Filter by stars, recent updates, or specific categories like development, automation, or content creation to find the perfect template for your needs.

Can I use multiple skills together?

Yes, you can install and use multiple AI skills simultaneously. Claude skills are designed to work independently, so you can combine a writing skill with a research skill or use several Claude code skills in the same workflow without conflicts.

Where can I inspect a skill's source code?

Open the skill detail page and follow its repository link. Review the README, source files, permissions, and recent activity before installing it.

How do skills differ from slash commands?

Slash commands are built-in shortcuts in Claude Code (like /help or /clear). Claude skills are external capabilities you install to extend your AI agent with new powers—like web search, code review, or content generation. Skills are more powerful and customizable than basic commands.

How often are skills updated?

Skills in our Claude code skills market are updated by their maintainers. Popular AI skills typically receive updates weekly or monthly. You can sort by 'Recently Updated' to find actively maintained Claude skills, and check the GitHub repository for update frequency.

What is marketplace.json?

marketplace.json is a configuration file some skills use to define metadata for the Claude marketplace. It includes the skill name, description, version, and installation instructions. Not all skills require this file—many work directly from their GitHub repository.

Is this website affiliated with Anthropic or OpenAI?

No, AI Agent Skills is an independent Claude skills marketplace created by the community. We are not officially affiliated with Anthropic (makers of Claude) or OpenAI. We curate and list open-source AI skills and Claude code templates from developers worldwide.
