anthropics/skills

for claude code specifically, the frontend-design skill helps a lot too https://github.com/anthropics/skills/tree/main/skills/frontend-design

this is the best example I found https://github.com/anthropics/skills/blob/main/document-skills/xlsx/SKILL.md I was dealing with 2 issues this morning getting Claude to produce a .xlsx that are covered in the doc above

And a little research turns out that anthropic itself makes available a *react* based artifact builder so you don't end up with SLOP from the get go. You could probably modify the template to work with your framework of choice. https://github.com/anthropics/skills/blob/main/skills/web-artifacts-builder/SKILL.md

You can just ask Claude to create them. They’re just markdown files Anthropic’s own repo is as good place as any https://github.com/anthropics/skills

>I don't see any good [skills] examples out there `/plugin marketplace add anthropics/skills` https://github.com/anthropics/skills 2 days ago I built a skill to automate a manual workflow I was using: After Claude writes and commits some code, have Codex review that code and have Claude go back and address what Codex finds. I used this process to implement a fairly complete Docusign-like service, and it did a startlingly good job right out of the gate, the bugs were fairly shallow. In my manual review of the Codex findings, it seems to be producing good results. Claude Code largely built that skill for me. Implemented as a skill and I've been using it for the last 2 days to implement a …

ask, receive! https://github.com/anthropics/skills not ranked with comments but I’d expect solid quality from these and they should “just work” in Codex etc.

The best examples I've seen are still the ones built into ChatGPT and Claude to improve their abilities to edit documents. The Claude frontend-design skill seems pretty good too for getting better HTML+CSS: https://github.com/anthropics/skills/blob/main/skills/frontend-design/SKILL.md

Maybe these might be handy: - https://github.com/anthropics/skills - https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/equipping-agents-for-the-real-world-with-agent-skills I think if it literally as a collection of .md files and scripts to help perform some set of actions. I'm excited for it not really as a "new thing" (as mentioned in the post) but as effectively an endorsement for this pattern of agent-data interaction.

The developer page uses a better example, a PDF processing skill: https://github.com/anthropics/skills/tree/main/document-skills/pdf I've been emulating this in claude code by manually @tagging markdown files containing guides for common tasks in our repository. Nice to see that this step is now automatic as well.

Have you actually read the frontend design skill? It’s placebo at best. Very short and barely focused on design: https://github.com/anthropics/skills/blob/main/skills/frontend-design/SKILL.md

> There are far fewer dependencies for skills than for MCP. This is wrong and an example magical thinking. AI obviously does not mean that you can ship/use software without addressing dependencies? See for example https://github.com/anthropics/skills/blob/main/slack-gif-creator/requirements.txt or worse, the many other skills that just punt on this and assume CLI tools and libraries are already available
