01
Angular Developer
Official Angular skill from angular/skills — generates Angular code and architectural guidance for components, signals (signal, linkedSignal, resource, httpResource), forms (signal / template / reactive), routing, DI, SSR, ARIA, animations, styling (component styles, Tailwind CSS), testing, naming conventions, and CLI tooling. Reads project Angular version first; loads the matching reference per t
02
MCP Builder (Anthropic, official)
Anthropic's official mcp-builder skill from anthropics/skills — a four-phase workflow (research & planning → implementation → review & test → evaluations) for building MCP servers in TypeScript (recommended) or Python (FastMCP). Loads reference files for best practices, language guides, and an evaluation generator.
03
PPTX (Anthropic, official)
Anthropic's official PPTX skill from anthropics/skills — create, edit, read, split, and combine .pptx and .potx files via pptxgenjs (create), XML unzip-rezip (edit), markitdown (read), and LibreOffice (validate, convert). Fixed stack: pptxgenjs + markitdown[pptx] + Pillow + defusedxml + lxml + LibreOffice (soffice) + pdftoppm.
04
Refactoring UI Audit
Operator-authored Agent Skill: audit a URL, screenshot, Figma frame, or component against Adam Wathan and Steve Schoger's Refactoring UI, then return a ranked fix report. Not an Anthropic demo skill.
05
Frontend Design (Anthropic, official)
Anthropic's official frontend-design skill from anthropics/skills — guidance for distinctive, intentional visual design when building new UI or reshaping an existing one. Two-pass plan-then-build grounded in the brief's subject matter. Names five AI-generated default looks the agent should refuse as defaults.
06
Bash (Anthropic — no standalone skill in anthropics/skills)
No standalone bash skill in anthropics/skills. Bash execution for Claude lives in two places: the native Bash tool in Claude Code, and the computer use toolset (computer_toolset_20260801) in anthropic-quickstarts/computer-use-demo.
07
DOCX (Anthropic, official)
Anthropic's official DOCX skill from anthropics/skills — create, read, edit, and manipulate Word documents (.docx / .dotx) via docx-js for creation and a Python unzip/edit/rezip pipeline for edits; comments and tracked changes via bundled helpers.
08
Skill Creator (Anthropic, official)
Anthropic's official skill-creator from anthropics/skills — a meta-procedure for creating new skills, improving existing skills, running evals to test them, benchmarking with variance analysis, and optimizing SKILL.md frontmatter description for triggering accuracy. Iterative loop: capture intent → interview → write SKILL.md → test prompts → grade → reviewer → improve → repeat.
09
XLSX (Anthropic, official)
Anthropic's official XLSX skill from anthropics/skills — create, read, edit, and analyze spreadsheets (.xlsx / .xlsm / .xltx / .csv / .tsv) via openpyxl, pandas, and markitdown. Includes a mandatory recalc.py step that runs LibreOffice headless to bake formulas before delivery.
10
Gemini API in Agent Platform (google/skills)
Google-published Agent Skill for the Gemini API on Agent Platform (formerly Vertex AI). Drives the Gen AI SDK across Python, JS/TS, Go, Java, and C# — picks the right model, picks ADC vs API-key auth, refuses legacy SDKs. Not a generic 'use Gemini' prompt.
11
NVIDIA Skill Finder
Meta-skill from NVIDIA/skills — routes NVIDIA-related requests to the right NVIDIA-published skill across 300+ entries. Triggers on NVIDIA products, CUDA, cuDF, Jetson, NeMo, Omniverse, TAO, VSS, DOCA, and so on, then checks the live NVIDIA catalog via `npx skills add nvidia/skills --list` (or fallback URLs) before recommending an install. Never installs without confirmation.
12
Brainstorming (obra/superpowers)
obra/superpowers methodology skill. Forces a HARD-GATE human-approval before any implementation. Classifies the request as spike / bounded / architectural, asks questions one at a time, writes a spec for the architectural path. Not an Anthropic demo skill.
13
Executing Plans
Superpowers workflow for implementing a written plan step-by-step in a single session, with verification at each step and a clear stop-on-blocker policy. Use when you have a written implementation plan and want the agent to walk it to completion.
14
Systematic Debugging (obra/superpowers)
obra/superpowers methodology skill. Use when hitting any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixes. Four-phase root-cause process: investigate → pattern → hypothesis → implement. No fixes without root cause first. Not an Anthropic demo skill.
15
Test-Driven Development (obra/superpowers)
obra/superpowers methodology skill. The iron law is one line: NO PRODUCTION CODE WITHOUT A FAILING TEST FIRST. Enforces red-green-refactor on every feature, bugfix, and refactor, with explicit red-flag and rationalization tables to talk the agent out of skipping the watch-it-fail step. Not an Anthropic demo skill.
16
Writing Plans (obra/superpowers)
obra/superpowers methodology skill. Turns an approved spec or requirements doc into a bite-sized implementation plan a junior engineer with no project context can follow, task by task. Not an Anthropic demo skill.
17
Writing Skills (obra/superpowers)
obra/superpowers meta-skill. Creates and edits SKILL.md files using TDD applied to documentation — RED (baseline behavior with subagents), GREEN (write the skill), REFACTOR (close rationalization loopholes). Not an Anthropic demo skill.
18
Redis Semantic Cache (LangCache)
Redis's redis-semantic-cache skill from redis/agent-skills — cache-aside pattern for LLM responses on Redis Cloud LangCache. Calls search/set via SDK or REST, tunes the similarity threshold (0.95+ strict / 0.9 default / 0.8 loose), splits one app's LLM workloads into separate caches per task type, and filters with custom attributes. Use when wrapping an LLM call (OpenAI, Anthropic) to cut cost and
19
Email Best Practices (Resend)
Resend's email-best-practices skill from resend/resend-skills — guidance for deliverable, compliant, user-friendly email. Covers SPF/DKIM/DMARC authentication, transactional vs marketing, CAN-SPAM/GDPR/CASL compliance, double opt-in, idempotent send + retry, webhook event handling, suppression lists, accessibility (alt text, headings, contrast, screen readers). Use when emails hit spam, bounce rat
20
Vercel Composition Patterns
Procedural rules for React component architecture — kill boolean prop proliferation, prefer compound components, lift state into providers, and compose internals. Notes React 19 API changes (no more forwardRef).
21
Find Skills
Discovery skill from vercel-labs/skills — when the user asks 'how do I do X' or 'find a skill for X', check the skills.sh leaderboard, then run `npx skills find`, verify install counts and source reputation, and present install commands. Does not install without confirmation.
22
Vercel React Best Practices
Procedural rules for React and Next.js performance from vercel-labs/agent-skills — kill request waterfalls, shrink bundles, parallelize server fetches, stop unnecessary re-renders. Prioritised by impact, 70 rules across 8 categories.
23
Web Design Guidelines
Review UI code against Vercel's Web Interface Guidelines — fetches the live rule set from a raw URL on every run, audits accessibility, focus states, forms, animation, typography, images, performance, navigation, dark mode, touch, and i18n. Outputs terse file:line findings.
