You can install most skills in minutes. The key is to follow the repo’s instructions and install only from sources you trust.
Step 1: Find a skill that matches your job-to-be-done
Use intent-based search:
Step 2: Copy the install command
On a skill’s detail page, click Install to copy the recommended command.
Example command format:
claude install owner-repo
owner-repo is the skill slug used on this site (based on the GitHub repo owner + repo name).
Step 3: Paste & run in Claude Desktop / Claude Code
Paste the command in Claude Desktop (or your terminal if using Claude Code), then follow any prompts.
Quick safety checklist (recommended)
Before installing:
- Read the README once (what it does, limitations, required keys)
- Check repo signals (stars, recent commits, open issues)
- Avoid skills that request overly broad access without clear reasons
Troubleshooting
- No install command shown: open the GitHub repo and follow the README.
- Command fails: confirm your Claude Desktop / Claude Code version, and try again.
- It installs but “does nothing”: look for required configuration (API keys, env vars) in the README.
