Questions about Claude skills for research

What is the best Claude skill for research?

Our top pick is Research by Matt Pocock, from a repository with 313k GitHub stars. Customer Research and Social Evidence Research round out the top three. Skills are ranked by the popularity of their source repository, with hand-picked favorites first, and official skills from Trail of Bits carry a badge.

How do I install a Claude skill for research?

Open a skill's page and run its install command in your project folder, for example npx skills add mattpocock/skills --skill research. 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-ads, claude-seo and claude-blog 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 research free?

Yes. All 27 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.
