🎯 The definitive collection of 50+ verified Awesome Claude Skills for Claude Code, Claude.ai, and API. Boost productivity with TDD, debugging, git workflows, document processing, and more. Community-driven, actively maintained.

What it solves

Claude Code is an AI coding assistant, but out of the box it may not know how to do specific tasks like extracting tables from PDFs, debugging systematically, or writing test-driven development code. This project is a community directory that collects reusable "skills" — small, focused capabilities you can add to Claude — so you don't have to build them yourself. It solves the problem of discovering the right skill for the task at hand.

How it works

The directory is organised into categories: testing and quality, debugging, document and file processing, collaboration and workflow, development and architecture, security and performance, and more. Each skill is listed with a short description of what it lets Claude do, and the name links to the skill's original source where you can read installation instructions. The README also suggests starting points based on common tasks, such as "Extract tables from a PDF" pointing to the pdf skill, or "Find why a test keeps failing" pointing to systematic-debugging. You browse the list, find a skill, then go to its source to install and enable it.

Who it's for

This is for developers and users of Claude Code who want to expand what Claude can do without writing every integration from scratch. It's also a place for contributors to share their own skills with the community. If you use Claude for coding, debugging, documentation, or other technical work, you're likely to find something useful here.

Highlights

  • Covers a wide range of tasks: testing, debugging, document processing, collaboration, security, and more.
  • Quick-start table with suggestions for common tasks like PDF extraction and fixing flaky tests.
  • Each skill has a one-line description so you can gauge its purpose at a glance.
  • Links directly to each skill's source for installation and usage details.
  • A community-maintained list, so new skills are added over time.

    DebugMCP is a Microsoft‑maintained VS Code extension (and npm CLI) that runs a local MCP server exposing full debugger controls—start/stop, step, breakpoints, variable inspection, expression evaluation—to any MCP‑compatible AI coding assistant (Copilot, Claude Code, Codex, etc.). It works with all languages that have a VS Code Debug Adapter Protocol implementation and runs entirely locally for security.
