About these coding skills
The best coding skills don't add knowledge, they add discipline: brainstorm before building, write a plan, debug systematically, review before merging. Jesse Vincent's Superpowers and Matt Pocock's skills are the most popular examples.
Start with one or two that match a habit you wish Claude had, then add more as you notice gaps.
This page collects every skill in the directory that covers coding: 133 from 7 publishers. Each one links back to its original GitHub repository, so you always get the author's latest version.
Questions about Claude skills for coding
What is the best Claude skill for coding?
Our top pick is Brainstorming by Jesse Vincent, from a repository with 312k GitHub stars. Grill Me and Systematic Debugging round out the top three. Skills are ranked by the popularity of their source repository, with hand-picked favorites first.
How do I install a Claude skill for coding?
Open a skill's page and run its install command in your project folder, for example npx skills add obra/superpowers --skill brainstorming. You can also download any skill as a ZIP and add it to Claude Code or upload it to the Claude app.
Skills from claude-mem rely on shared scripts and agents, so install them as a Claude Code plugin. Their pages show the two commands.
The install guide walks through every method.
Are Claude skills for coding free?
Yes. All 133 skills on this page are open source and free to use, and most are MIT licensed. You need a Claude plan that supports skills, or a coding agent that reads SKILL.md files.
Do these skills work in Claude Code and the Claude app?
Yes. A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file, and the same folder works in Claude Code, the Claude desktop and web apps (on paid plans with code execution turned on) and the Claude API. Many also work in other agents that support the Agent Skills format, such as Cursor and OpenAI Codex. Skills that ship scripts need somewhere Claude can run code.
How many Claude skills for coding are there?
We list 133 from 7 publishers, last updated November 4, 2026. The list refreshes from GitHub as publishers release new skills.
