Claude skills

Anthropic's repository of Agent Skills for Claude, including example skills, the Agent Skills specification, and a template for creating custom skills. Each skill is a self-contained folder with a SKILL.md file containing metadata and instructions that Claude loads dynamically for specialized tasks such as document creation, data analysis, web-app testing, MCP server generation, and communications workflows. The repository's skills can be installed as Claude Code plugins, used in Claude.ai, or accessed through the Claude API. It includes document, PDF, presentation, and spreadsheet skills used in Claude's document capabilities; many examples are Apache-2.0 licensed, while those document-creation skills are source-available rather than open source. The repository presents the implementations for demonstration and educational purposes and notes that their behavior may differ across Claude environments.

Awesome Claude Skills is a curated GitHub resource covering reusable Claude Skills, plugins, tools, and related resources for Claude.ai, Claude Code, the Claude API, and other coding agents such as Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Antigravity, and Windsurf. It organizes examples by areas including document processing, development, data analysis, communication, media, productivity, project management, security, and SaaS-app automation through Composio. The repository explains Skills as folders containing a SKILL.md file with YAML metadata and Markdown instructions, optionally accompanied by scripts, references, and assets. It documents progressive loading: agents initially see a skill's name and description, load the full instructions when relevant, and load supporting files on demand. It also distinguishes Skills, which define workflows and guardrails, from MCP servers and tools, which provide system access and individual actions. The list accepts contributions through documented quality and pull-request guidelines. The repository is licensed under Apache 2.0, while individual skills may use different licenses.

Claude is a family of large language models developed and hosted by Anthropic. Available through Anthropic's web chat products and a commercial API, Claude accepts text prompts (and structured inputs or file attachments via the API) and returns natural-language and code outputs for tasks such as coding, summarization, document Q&A, and general business and productivity workflows; it is used inside Anthropic products (for example Claude Code) and by third-party services via Anthropic's API and enterprise agreements.

Claude for Financial Services is an Anthropic repository of reference agents, skills, slash commands, and data connectors for investment banking, equity research, private equity, fund administration, wealth management, and related financial-services workflows. Its named agents cover tasks such as pitch-deck preparation, market research, earnings review, financial modeling, valuation review, general-ledger reconciliation, month-end close, statement auditing, and KYC screening. The components can be installed as Claude Cowork or Claude Code plugins, or deployed as Claude Managed Agents through the Anthropic API. Agents bundle workflow-specific skills; vertical plugins provide reusable skills and commands such as comparable-company analysis, DCF and LBO modeling, Excel auditing, earnings analysis, diligence checklists, and investment-committee memo drafting. Centralized MCP connectors link the skills to external financial-data and document providers, subject to each provider's subscription or API-key requirements. The repository also includes managed-agent cookbooks, deployment and validation scripts, partner-authored plugins, and tooling for provisioning the Claude Microsoft 365 add-in. It is file-based, using Markdown, YAML, and JSON without a build step, and is distributed under the Apache License 2.0. The repository states that its agents draft work product for qualified-professional review and do not make investment recommendations, execute transactions, bind risk, post to a ledger, or approve onboarding.

Claude Code Templates is a CLI tool and web catalog for configuring and monitoring Anthropic's Claude Code. It provides installable agents, custom slash commands, settings, hooks, skills, MCP integrations, and project templates, which can be selected interactively or installed with commands such as `npx claude-code-templates@latest --agent ...`. The CLI also includes analytics for monitoring development sessions, a conversation monitor with optional Cloudflare Tunnel access, health checks for Claude Code installations, and a plugin dashboard for viewing marketplaces, installed plugins, and permissions. The project aggregates components from Anthropic and community sources, while retaining their stated licenses and attributions; the project itself is licensed under the MIT License.
