Getting Started

Installing a Claude Agent Skill takes less than a minute. Find a skill in the catalog, run one command, and Claude instantly knows it.

1. Find a Skill

Browse the catalog by category, search by name or tag, or check the weekly digest for new skills.

2. Install

Click Install ↓ on any skill page to get the install command. Run it in your project directory:

npx skill-dot-md install anthropics/skills/pdf bunx skill-dot-md install anthropics/skills/pdf pnpm dlx skill-dot-md install anthropics/skills/pdf

This copies the SKILL.md into .claude/skills/ in your project. Claude Code picks it up automatically.

Global Install

To use a skill across all your projects, install it globally:

npx skill-dot-md install --global anthropics/skills/pdf

Manual Install

# Replace with the actual raw GitHub URL
